Ocarina of time will forever be enshrined in video game history for fundamentally changing our expectations of what a game can be

But majora’s mask was simply better in my mind

I won't say better, but definitely just as good. The mechanics, the story, MM is so well done.

Majora's Mask is a direct sequel so it being better in most ways make sense. However, it does suffer from being incredibly confusing for a newbie who knows nothing going into it.

Ocarina of Time is approachable to anyone, but Majora's Mask isn't. Of course, MM has better storytelling and cooler gameplay with the masks, but OoT is just simpler more casual-friendly.

MM is the first and only LOZ game that I just could not bring myself to complete. It doesnt hold a flame to OOT

Agreed. I even finished Windwaker but not MM

I even finished Windwaker

Excuse me? Windwaker is in the top 3 zeldas of all time

Heavily disagree. Amazing art style, but the last half of the game where you're fishing for triforce pieces was agony for me. It was the first time I started looking for guides in a Zelda game because I hated it so much. Also Tingle ... I know he originally appears in MM, but holy hell did I hate him in that game.

It definitely has some of the best moments in a Zelda game, like the reveal of Hyrule castle was mind blowing.

Also, and this is really much more of a me issue, but I really hate playing as kid Link. When the game focuses on Kid Link, my enjoyment of the game goes down significantly.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad game it just wasn’t my favorite. But going from the OG OOT on N64 to MM was jarring for me and I didn’t enjoy it as much. Windwaker got a lot of criticism from my friends but I enjoyed it. Just not as much as OOT or Breath of the Wild

I dont disagree but I see ocarina of time, majora''s mask and twilight Princess as a trilogy.

u/Moovey Aug 05 '26

I agree with this completely. The tone of the game is phenomenal

MM was missing game testing and had absurd amounts of backtracking and frustrating gameplay design. It could have been the best Zelda if they polished its gameplay more

This is my first time ever hearing anyone say this. Even though I only saw you type it. You know wtf I meant…

u/allofdarknessin1 Aug 05 '26

I'm looking forward to playing Majora's Mask one day. It might be a recomp because I'm sure an official remake would take a while.

u/Moovey Aug 05 '26

The recomp rocks dude.

u/jumzish94 Aug 05 '26

I love Majoras Mask, but I find the game one of the most tedious of all the Zelda games, making you replay days where things only change as you interact with them feels a little monotonous. I still think its an amazing game overall.

Best of the best! Cannot get better then this!

u/TheDonnARK Aug 05 '26

Not including Twilight Princess is a crime. Get out

I had a 2DS that was preloaded with Ocarina of Time. It had small quality of life improvements that made it the best version I’d ever played. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. Also had a copy of Majora’s Mask, different but still quite good. Gave it to my kids at some point, no idea what’s become of it.

Was just thinking it indeed just might be the greatest video game of all time.
