Did anyone else think Majora's Mask was better then Ocarina of Time?

The game wasn't as epic as Ocarina of Time but the game experience was much more amazing to me. It had great atmosphere and had a much more lively world that was much more immersive. I think the design and characters were all original and felt more attached to them.

Anyone agree?

While I didn't think MM was better than OOT, I thought it came really close. Probably my biggest complaints were the day cycle (Good idea, I just didn't like it that much), only 4 temples, and the useless masks. Beyond that though, I did enjoy the darker story line.

Yup, I agree. I liked MM and WW more than OoT.

From what little I've played, yes, easily better. OoT was basically just a remix of A Link to the Past. Majora's Mask is something entirely new.

I switch back and forth everytime I think about it. MM is a more unique experience, but OoT was just an amazingly epic adventure from start to finish. I'm declaring it a tie for now.

LINK TO THE PAST is my favorite ZELDA ever made, probably the best one.

Majora had a huge fault with it, in that you had to redo dungeons even after you completed it, it lacked polish that other zelda's had...but then again, it wasn't directed by the MAN, Miyamoto, so that probably explains it.

Yeah, Wii Music totally pwns MM.

best zelda game ever made. However OoT will forever be my favorite game of all time.too_much_eslim

Now that I read this, I think it pretty much sums up my feelings as well.

OoT was the first game that truly blew me away and made me want to play again and again. But I think MM was a better execution of what makes Zelda great in a setting and theme that was truly unique.

Difficuilt to say, but I'm going to have to go with OoT. The story was great and the final battle was one of my favourite fights ever. I also liked the idea of time travel and the full control of the ocarina. Then again, I don't think I've played enough of MM to fully back up my opinion.

Yeah. More sidequests and things to do outside the story, and tons of awesome masks with different powers.

Plus, the story was the best ever in a Zelda game IMO.

It could have done with an extra dungeon or two, but other than that Majora's Mask is pretty much near-perfect. If it's not better than OoT then it's still definitely on the same level.

The fact that Nintendo developed it n the space of just over a year is astounding.

Not only is it better, its the best game ever made. No game has ever given me the emotions ive had when playing MM. Its also the scariest game ever.

Haha, dude, I love Miyamoto and have praised him here many times.

For sure, MM and WW are the best in the series IMO.

I liked OoT more. But MM was awesome, and it has a atmosphere that I would love to see in future Zelda's. In fact, I would totally adore a Majora's Mask II with the new Link.IronBass

MM has an atmosphere that needs to be in more games. Seriously, i dont think ive ever seen a game deal with themes presented in MM. The sense of impending doom as you see the clock ticking away at the bottom, lonliness, desperationand loss. And the way its all presented together was amazing.

I wouldnt necessarily want MM2 since i thought it concluded well but i would love if Nintendo made the next zelda as impactful as MM. Very unlikely but hope never dies.

I consider them equal. OOT brought Zelda into 3D brilliantly, while MM was a very different experience from the other Zelda games. MM also showed that the series can be flexible and try new things.

i would have to go with OoT on this one. It was groundbreaking for it's time, excellent story, memorable characters, etc etc.

Majora's Mask did have it's virtues as well. It had a really good atmosphere, even more memorable characters than Ocarina because of the focus on sidequests. My major complaint with it would probably be the main story, which could have been developed more. I did enjoy the challenge of it though, I felt it was a pretty tough game.

They both have their ups and downs, but I hope Nintendo takes the best parts of both games and use it for the next Zelda. i.e. amazing main story, coupled with tons of sidequests to bring life to the world.

Yes. Majora's Mask improved on Ocarina in every possible way. The reason why a lot of people dislike it is because when they played it, they had no idea what was to do at the beginning. They quickly stopped playing the game and said it was stupid.

I enjoyed Wind Waker more than Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. -.-;;

I do i enjoyed it much more simply put i got sick of the regular zeldas around link to the past release it was a good game but it was obvious that Miyamoto was just rehasing his storyline and gameplay elements.

I liked TP more than both...(hides)

Yeah. I JUST beat Ocarina for the billionth time a couple weeks ago on the VC, and downloaded Majora's Mask a few days ago. Playing them both side by side is pretty interesting, and while Ocarina is a much more epic game, and it's one of the best games ever, but Majora's Mask is a better game. It's just so much more...amazing. I sit there playing it sometimes with my jaw dropped open, just awe struck at how creepy, dark, sad, and atmospheric it can be. I've played and beaten it before, but the whole experience is just much more involving and interesting than Ocarina's. Majora's Mask is simply put, amazing. In fact, I think I'm going to play it right now!

I love it, it gave every character a personality and Fierce Deity pwns!

Also, I love the history of Termina and Ikana, it's somehow based on the tower of babel.

While I don't think MM is better OoT. I didn't find find MM as bad as most do it was a very enjoyable game. Now on the other hand I did find WindWaker (before you have search for Tri Force pieces) and a Link to the Pastbetter than OoT.

@ Shafftehr

I must give give thanks to you. Because you turned to one of the best titles I have ever played Plane Scape Torment.

LINK TO THE PAST is my favorite ZELDA ever made, probably the best one.

Majora had a huge fault with it, in that you had to redo dungeons even after you completed it, it lacked polish that other zelda's had...but then again, it wasn't directed by the MAN, Miyamoto, so that probably explains it.

Easily...

• Walking around Hyrule field is boring as hell
• MM vastly superior to OoT in the artistic department, with both graphics and sound
• OoT is way too similar to ALttP

IMHO, of course.

The game wasn't as epic as Ocarina of Time but the game experience was much more amazing to me. It had great atmosphere and had a much more lively world that was much more immersive. I think the design and characters were all original and felt more attached to them.

Anyone agree?

yes, its my fave zelda, i own it and oot on my N64, majoras mask was the only zelda to really break the mold and do things differently, it was very refreshing.

No I think the game is very good but having to save in certain places is annoying but it is a very good game but Ocarina of Time is better and so is Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
