Uhm... -math- Damn, kid. You're even too young to have enjoyed OoT Properly. Go back a bunch of years, and play aLttP. Seriously.

Played Resident Evil and many other violent horror games that I can't remember right now.

Oh so just because I'm not a LoZ fanboy like you, you think there's something wrong with me?

No, I think your age denied you a chance at gettign a foothold in the series early.

Try aLttP, I garuntee it's harder than any RE game. 😛 It's a classic.

Wrong! I tried both OoT and Majora's mask but I got bored with them.

So the game has a higher difficulty than RE's. Big whoop.

And a better story, more complicated gameplay, will acxtually flex your brain, ect...

Got bored? Were you old enough to read? 😛

I'm not much for these late Zelda games, but the early classics are pure win. Retro gaming at it's finest

Haha, yeah, aLttP's a definite favourite. That game had class. I think TP's actually one of the worse in the series, tbh. And yet, still great.

Edit: Has anyone else ever beaten the original 8-bit Zelda? Hard game was hard.

Yeah.... but it was easier to beat than part 2 was

OoT is my favorite if only because it introduced Ganondorf as the ****awesome villain he is, before that, he was nothing really notable in terms of character IMHO.

Biased... 😛

OoT is also a favourite, as is MM.. and aLttP..

I think if I had to put them in order;
OoT
aLttP/MM
LoZ/WW
LoZII/TP/OoA/S/LA
Anything with four swords on it is bottom tier.

Even the four swords games are good, though, so, yeah. OoT is, imho, the best game ever made.

To me,

Resident Evil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Legend of Zelda

Shame. 😐 I always considered RE mediochre, except for maybe RE4.

Sounds like it's your personal taste.... I liked RE and Dino Crisis myself

I've never played Dino Crisis. I just never really got into RE, especially the earlier ones.

I like both RE and Zelda, but that's a silly comparison. >.>

I've always found Zelda games to me painfully mediocre and uninteresting.

Truth.

I wouldn't say they were mediocre, but I have little interest in Zelda, I just can't get into them at all....that's not to say that some of them are good games though.

Although reusing the same plot/experiences as all the previous Zelda games do is a major flaw; I'd like to see them shake things up...who knows a shakeup could get me intrested in the series.

Yes. I still own it for NES. Gold cartridge FTW 😛

I grew up on LoZ and Dragon Warrior.

Examples of amazing plot; WW, OoT, MM, TP. These games have amazing stories behind them.

OoT is wonderfully written, and unlike most of the games before, makes you feel like Link really has an effect on the world. The characters really react to you. Each of the sages you meet in the future remembers you from the past, and their dialogue is generally well done and the game itself was incredibly immersive for it's time. It was similar to aLttP formula wise, but stold the story of Ganon's rise to power.

MM is genius, and deviates entirely from the plot form you've mentioned. Link's wandering a forest in search of a lost friend after OoT. [Most believe it's Navi.] And the ocarina of time is stolen from him, and he's turned into a deku scrub. From here, he has to reclaim the ocarina, and save the world in three days, before a demon trapped in a mask brings the moon down and destroys it. This is probably the darkest game in the series.

WW Shows the repurcussions of Zelda sending Link back in time, and erasing him from the adult time-line in OoT. With no Link, when Ganon escapes the seal placed on him, no one can stop him, and the world fall into ruin. At the last possible moment, the Goddesses themselves intervene,flooding the world and sealing Ganon away with their combined power. Link, in this game, is just an island dweller who's barely turned old enough to wear the green clothes that are a symbol of manhood. Then his sister gets kidnapped.

TP I've already explained.

To me OoT embodies the perfect epic fantasy storyline. Partly because you get to see how much Ganondorf changed Hyrule even without the Triforce, it lets you imagine what he could do if he had the whole thing.
