BortLicensePlate | 652 Graphics Team · Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Did OOT sell for 1.6 million dollars? I don’t think so In all seriousness, definitely more of a Mario guy personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhiteJr. | 1,162 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Ocarina of Time in my opinion. I don't think it is particularly all that close either. Mario 64 is a fun platformer, but for some reason it always fails to hold my attention for more than a few hours. Controls are clunky and some levels are tedious. It is an AMAZING game, no doubt. But it has never really *clicked* for me in the way that it has for others. Zelda OOT is my favorite game of all time, bar none. The game is intoxicating. The music, character development, story line, controls, combat, and emotions. It is in my view, a perfect game. The difficulty curve, time it takes to complete the game, complexity and intricacies of the dungeons, exploration, time travel element. The relationships between the characters is developed through the game. You develop an emotional and personal connection with the game itself, Link and the many wonderful characters in the game. The boss fights are memorable and fun. The game lets you explore and there are many side quests and branching paths that you can explore outside of the main quest. There is no game that holds a candle to Zelda OOT, nor do I think we will ever see one. The depth of OOT blows Mario 64 out of the proverbial water.

Do you want to step outside? LOL. Majoras mask is still on my list of games to play through. It is a sin I know. Every time i sit down to play, life gets in the way.

No need to step outside, let's step into the game room and fix that you've not played Majora! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,405 Administrator · Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I really enjoyed Ocarina of Time, and thought it was a great N64 game. But it's not particularly something I go back to often. Mario 64 - for me personally, I always enjoy playing the game, and it seems to never get old to me. I played it yet again not too long ago on the switch collection, and had a lot of fun with it. So for me, Mario 64 just has a ton of staying power and replayability, that keeps me interested. So I chose Mario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 This is a tough one since I could easily go either way, but if I have to choose, I'd say that I liked OOT just a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 OoT > Mario 64 No use arguing from me, its just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 The reason I chose Mario 64 is that it is never not a good time. Running across the plains in Zelda gets tedious and is a slow chore. Even while Mario runs around to choose a level or just exploring the castle you're doing stupid little things like jumping acrobatically which is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj_robot | 542 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Mario 64. Easy pick for me. I love Mario 64 and play through it every few years. With Zelda, I've tried to get into it several times, but it just doesn't click with me. Can't really pinpoint what it is, but none of the 3D Zelda games can really hold my attention for very long.

Miss a turn as Link and he just turns around and goes the proper way. Miss a turn with Epona and you gotta parallel park your ass into the proper direction. I honestly do not enjoy using mounts in most games, particularly the ones that run along the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Eh...at least it's close. Mario, totally. There's just far more value, replay value, and variation in the game where it's just a far more enjoyable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think 3D Mario games are kind of boring. OoT actually holds up pretty well and is still fun to play due to well-designed dungeons and the strength of the overall quest. Mario 64 was a product of its time and its archaic controls and uninteresting progression haven't aged nearly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,889 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think they are both awesome, and I replay both regularly. OoT is the better game though, there's really not much to argue there. There's simply WAY more to it. Anyway, my vote was for Goldeneye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love both games, but at the end of the day I've always been more of an action gamer, so I had to pick Mario, since it's the game I go back to more often...

Zelda 64 is full of fun puzzles, cool setpieces and great worldbuilding, but a lot of that is also seen done better in many other games, includes other games of the same franchise. Mario 64, meanwhile, is just fun to simply play. It's bonafide video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg | 372 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Which of these 2 awful games is better? It's like trying to determine which marix sequel was better, at the end of the day they both suck and should never have happened. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
