Ocarina of Time vs. Twilight Princess

Post Reply New Topic

Which game was better in your opinion?

IMO, relative, and adjusted to the standards of each time period, Ocarina wins.
But merit only, comparing them side-by-side, they are close to equal.
I liked Twilight a little more.

yeah, i like the whole concept of time traveling.

I didn't really like Twilight Princess at all, so Ocarina of Time. The wolf parts just didn't feel like being a wolf and the aesthetics paled in comparison to Wind Waker (my personal favorite Zelda game). Of course, I wasn't fond of Ocarina of Time's dark pallet either, but at least Ocarina of Time didn't have any wolf parts. (Sorry if I sound harsh. I just tend to be really blunt)

I like Wind Waker better than them both. Nintendo Power said it has the best graphics of any Zelda game. I just got through the 3D remake of OOT by the way.

Ocarina Of Time beats Twilight Princess hands down for me. I just can't be bothered to finish Twilight Princess, and I've started it three times over in an attempt to enjoy it. Ocarina Of Time still gives me a sense of wonder and joy every time I play it, but Twilight Princess seems like effort and drudgery. I can't put my finger quite on what it is, but it seems too linear and dull, and believe me, I hate having to say something bad about a Zelda game.

Ocarina of Time...especially in 3d! LOL

Between the two of them? Batman wins. No but seriously, Ocarina of Time. Twilight Princess took advantage of improvements in technology, and many aspects of the game were better for it, but Ocarina of Time has more consistently good design. Twilight Princess just has too many rough spots--the wolf segments aren't as fun, the Temple of Time's a bore, and some of the boss fights are truly anticlimactic endings to otherwise great dungeons (Blizetta, for example). But it's still a fantastic game, I won't deny that.

twilight princess by a mile for me, i couldn't play oot worth crap because it was so damn hard, and the story made no sense.

i like twilight's story better and i can actually play it, twilight's story is like that rift between two realms being broken which is awesome to me.

Hard choice! Both were very enjoyable. I don't really remember much about Twilight Princess' dungeons but the graphics were stunning and it's just so much fun to wander around Hyrule. It also had that darkness to it which was awesome. And Ocarina of Time has fun dungeons that are pleasing to look at and cool bosses. And it was scary at times. (Redeads and Dead Hands ahhh.) I think I wanna say Ocarina of Time cause I came back to beat it again.

I'm going with OOT too. It's probably nostalgia speaking (but I'd definitely say WW was tons better than either), but I can sit down and still enjoy OOT today. The dungeons are still fun, as are the bosses, even though I know the game inside and out. In fact, the only drag is the fact that I killed my N64 controller's joystick, so making Link move right is a pain in the ass!

TP was just unmemorable. I played it straight through, and I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember anything about the game hardly at all. I remember Midna's transformation, that giant cannon, being a wolf, that stupid segment where you had to shoot people on Epona, and... that's about it. I can't recall a single dungeon. After I figured out my brother trashed our copy, I bought a new one only to find out it's really freakin' boring! I couldn't make it through the first wolf segment! It was just so tedious and dull!

Anyone remember those little covers that Nintendo gave out for the joystick so the rings on it wouldn't cut your thumb? I was one of those dumb kids who cut their thumb on the rings. I had a set of rings carved into my thumb for weeks.

OK, wait, just did some Wiki-research into the thumb-cutting handout. I thought I was making some of that up. Turns out, the injuries were caused by rapidly spinning the joystick when playing games like Mario Party. Remember how you'd use your palm to rotate it faster? Turns out it gave kids blisters and somebody sued. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/671601.stm)

Apparently I'm the only person with strong enough hands (and poor enough receptors to pain) to actually cut myself by trying to make Donkey Kong run faster.

Played both, and for me, Twilight Princess wins. Ocarina of Time had more memorable gameplay, but I guess I'm more fond of the somewhat darker and more occult story of Twilight Princess.

Twilight Princess had beatiful graphics and art, but it just didn't feel as good as Ocarina of Time did. I don't really know how to explain it, but Ocarina of Time had a more interesting Hyrule to explore. Everything like the dungeons, the monsters, and the different races were cool and they made sense. I especially liked the Zora and Gerudo races, and in Twilight Princess I didn't like how the Zoras became more mermaid-like or how the Gerudos just seemed to disappear in all other games.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are my favorites of the 3D Zeldas and I don't think any other games come close to those.

Ocarina of Time was one of the very first games I every played back when I was something like 7 years old, so I wasn't very good at it but it was still awesome. If you asked me which game I'd rather play now though I'd say Twilight Princess but I'll always have a soft spot for ocarina
