As for best game ever, well that has to be Final Fantasy VII.

I went with OoT for nostalgia value, however I did enjoy Windwaker a lot. It's like the happier version of OoT I think.

I think, from an objective standpoint, Majora's Mask is the superior game to OoT. While you would be justified in saying that the fact that its just using the same engine with some minor graphical tweaks, I think that with all the time saved on working on the technical aspects helped make MM's world more fleshed out. The characters felt more developed and with that Bomber's Notebook, you learned more about them and could sympathize with them more. I also have to say I really enjoyed the darker tones found in this one, like that Deku tree you meet just after being cursed by the Scarecrow Kid at the beginning of the game, he's apparently the son of the Butler in the Deku kingdom, and that your Deku mask actually contains his soul. While there were really only four temples, I really enjoyed finding all the masks, and found more than half of them to be useful in some way.

What I found sound great about The Windwaker was its magical feel, as you explored a world full of islands and strange and quirky places. It reminded me so much of the Narnia book "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" which as a kid mesmerized me along with the Hobbit.

You've basically hit it right on the head why I feel MM was better than the OoT. OoT was a groundbreaking game and does deserve its plaudits and the first half of the game is superb but what I felt let it down, was the second part as it just became one temple after another and I felt that took something away from the brilliance of the game.

Me as well. The quirkiness was what made it for me the most I also found the find with Gandalf one of my favorites of the Zelda series, and the process of getting up to him. There were some parts in the game that were extremely difficult, but in a good way, not in an annoying frustrating way. For example, getting the power to use the whirlpool to teleport to other islands.

Did you fill up the map as an extra thing in the game? It took me forever but I did.

I'm a fan of that game too. I wish they made more Zelda games that had a similar look and feel.
