Best N64 Game - Legend of Zelda OoT or Super Mario 64?

These 2 games are highy debated as the best N64 games and many consider them the best games of All-Time. Which one do you prefer?

They were both great but OoT takes the cake on this one.

It's a very close call.

...

So close I can't even choose.

between those, Mario 64

though personally I like Conker's Bad Fur day and Resident Evil 2 more on the N64

I'd have to go with The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Can't decide. Both are some of the most defining games of 3D gaming, Mario probably even more so than OoT. But OoT was slightly more enjoyable.

Yeah, can't choose. Paper Mario is my favourite N64 game anyway.

Ocarina of Time is better. The gameplay still holds up very well whereas Super Mario 64 feels dated compared to present day platformers and the camera is unbearable.Rocky32189

I actually thought OoT was kind of dated as well when I last played it, but I think that was more because subsequent Zelda games borrowed so many elements from it.

But yeah, every 3D platformer ever drew inspiration from Mario 64, so it is bound to feel dated.

They're both fun but I really loved Zelda. Everything was perfect, the combat and the dungeon puzzles espically. I don't realise why they don't do that with games now - I mean with the power available is it too muh to make a fighting system as fluid and graceful as the zelda series? Take Assassin's Creed for instance - everything feels so clunky and heavy when fighting, and your only attack option is "attack" - no stabing, horizontal cutting, overhead slash, etc.

wow hard choice... back then i would have said mario 64...but looking back 10 years later um maybe it is zelda.

goldeneye 007 is the best n64 game followed closely by ocarina of time. i thought mario 64 was pretty lame

I think it has too be Perfect Dark, such an amazing game, the mp & combat simulater was incredible and still has features thatgames today lack! The best!

ocoraina of time is better but super mario 64 has better replay value..

Perfect Dark was my favourite.

Out of those two,I´d say Mario 64.

Hands down OoT, but SM64 does come in at a close second.

I wouldn't say either one.

I'd go for DK 64

OOT is the better game, but SM64 is still my all time favorite game. For me, SM64 has so much replayabilityand it never gets old.

Super Mario 64. Not that Zelda doesn't deserve the praise it gets, but mario 64 holds up even better. The player control over mario has yet to be topped, imo. It created a template that was used for sunshine and galaxies. Sure those games may have slightly refined it, but the "better" control has more to do with the camera than physically moving mario around.

I'm replaying Mario 64, at 118 stars, and the game is an absolute masterpeice. I love zelda as much as its praise, and it is probably an overall more enjoyable experience, but from a strictly game design aspect, Mario is just the better game. Even upon release, Zelda could have performed a little better, and there were areas of the game that felt a tad cumbersome.

I liked DK64 alot myself.

Ocarina Of Time.

Two Epic games.. but hands down the winner is Legend Of Zelda OoT:D

Personally I feel Banjo Tooie is the best N64 title.

never could get into mario 64 much. i was very absorbed by ocarina..

That's a tough one. Gonna go with Oot.

Of the 2 games mentioned i would say Zelda but if i was choosing overall best game on the N64 personally i would choose Goldeneye or to a lesser extent Perfect Dark.

Not only do I think that Super Mario 64 is the best Nintendo 64 game I also think it is the best game ever created.

Super Mario 64. I love the N64, its a tied with the NESfor my 2nd favorite system, behind the Wii. It has many great games, but I personally think that Ocarina Of Time has to be the most overrated game I have ever played, even though its in my top 10 favorite games. Its a really great game and all, but in my opinion there are better (Mario 64, Galaxy 1 & 2, Mario 1 & 3, LoZ NES...). I just think it doesnt deserve title of "best game of all time".

Ocarina of Time

Between those two I have to go with Mario 64.

But my favourite N64 game has always been Goldeneye.

OoT easily wins this one.. but mario 64 is still an excellent game.

Two Epic games.. but hands down the winner is Legend Of Zelda OoT:D

Super Mario 64. Never really into The Legend Of Zelda OoT.

I had better times with mario 64

LOZ

Have to go with Ocarina of Time, I loved this game on the N64 and still play it on my brothers wii. Most likely my favorite game of all time.

Mario 64

I was never a fan of Mario in any form. Its about the most basic type of platformer you can create.
