re: So I've never played a Zelda game: why does it get so much love?

and theres a vocal part of the fan base that believe that game is better than Ocarina of Time.

I said it in the other thread, but I'll say it here too:

I think I liked my play of Majora's more because it's so unique and weird (part of that is b/c of my experience growing up with Zelda). It is a brilliant game, buuutttt....

OoT is a game that transcends. Honestly. It's a supremely crafted game, one of the best. Part of that is because it's so familiar, yet so new all at the same time. It HAD to walk a very fine line between being classic-centered, but future focused which means it doesn't take certain risks that MM did.

If I had to pick a game to play again, that game would be MM. If I had to pick a game to say that everyone should play once, that game is OoT.

(Die hard fans of MM are die hard, probably because they have previous experience with Zelda. It's MM's place in the Zelda canon that makes it so awesome.)
