Going a bit off topic, but im thinking of getting a gamecube - is Zelda good on it and how does it compare to Nes and n64 versions.

Thank you!

doom , read this quote closely ! Do you really think OoT or MM are falling into this category ? Ok , the games are too easy for my taste , but they are looking beautiful and they are really no bad games !
I have indeed read closely. They flopped imo, nothing more about it.

The Ocarina of Time, easy? I think someone forgets the dreaded Water Temple. ;) Ocarina was acceptably easy a lot of the time, it just meant getting onto the next potentially jaw-dropping section was more likely for a lot of people at the time. The game had more longevity than probably any other too.
Overall I'd go with TOOT as the better of the two, simply because hacking around is still a lot of fun, and the game had so many stand out unforgettable moments. 3D had rarely been so beautiful, the day/night cycle was wonderful, original bosses... ah, happy memories.
I'm not taking about puzzles. You could pretty much beat every boss with only losing a heart or two. And besides, I never EVER had to use a fairy in this game... sheesh.

Ocarina of Time for me. Majora's Mask was good but the time travel stuff got a little old.
I think it sucks pretty outright. Time travel should be forbidden in games. It's so unreal it stinks... you can never compherend the consequences of time traveling. And besides, in MM, you lost all your items (arrows, rupees, bombs, etc) when going back. Oh what a pain in the arse to re-collect 'em.

Games will be easier and easier... and that's bad!
Agreed!

I remember a long time ago, I was playing FF7 (okay... wrong topic, but have to say that), beat the last boss, but there was always more: chocobos (the gold one) the two weapons (diamond and ruby if I remember the right way) and I was playing and playing hours and hours... and these last challanges were really really hard! but now? I complete a game and it's complete! No new challanges, no things I never seen before?! I always miss these things in Zelda. But MM was a step in the right way: you could complete the game, but never seen all the things, you always have to search, to find all mask etc. (okay you have to search the heart pieces in every game, after you finish the game, or did anyone collect them before?). The best longplay (but warning, not difficult, it's easy like all these others... :() had the "oracles" ones.
Oppinions!?
Yes, side quests are nice, aren't they? But some people (like me) are too lazy to search for all this stuff... we usually want a LONG game instead of a short one with LOADS of side quests. That's where majora's mask and the wind waker failed utterly.

Sucks. Not only do you have to play with stupid link-boy (yes, he's a kid!), but the game is too short, the story sucks... ahem... and even so - zelda's got green hair! :p Who the hell has green hair?! (Okay, besides Saria, but she's not on topic here). Just flowing around on the endless dunes of the sea gets boring... and the battle system is the same as always... nothing new there. Only the dreaded counter attacks is new. Even though they tried a little to piffen up the game, it still is bad.
And how could they have made ganondorf so UGLY?! And how he laughs... it gives me the chills o_O yes, it's THAT BAD! Even OoT was better... really.

Oh, that bad?

Well going VERY OT, what gamecube games would be worth getting?

I have an Xbox and ps2 though so it wouldn't be multiformat games...

I prefered Ocarina of time as Majora's mask although good felt much like a side quest to the main game

I didn't much like the 4 dungeon layout of Majora's Mask as Zelda has always been about completing Dungeons

too much silly collecting of little items
i know Nintendo Games do a lot of this but its getting boring coz they did it for like nearly every single N64 game

I mainly play the main quest and if i really enjoyed the game i'll go for the extra challenge but sometimes collecting every single banana or musical note or stars in the case of mario is ridiculous especially when the reward u get for it was next to nothing :p

TOOT

I liked the masks in MM (Oni Link and the eponymous bunny hood especially) but other than that it just wasn't as fun as TOOT.

It wasn't the play mechanics or even the dungeon/boss designs. It's just the feeling it gave off was all wrong.
 

Powerlord

Evil Emperor
Honestly, I could never really get into Majora's Mask. It just felt like a bunch of side quests stuck together.

Although it seems this is completely N64 Zelda specific, I really enjoyed the one for gameboy, umm what was it called...ahh, Link's Awakening. That one was one of the phatest Zelda's ever, and the fact that you could cheat by pressing select while moving to the next screen, would teleport you to that same spot on the next screen. Doing this, I got the power bracelet Lvl 2 in a cave, which it wasn't supposed to be there :p . Although this is off topic, I think the gameboy Zelda, and the original for NES are as classic as it gets and nothing will top them.

okay windwaker really pissed me off, but since when did zelda/tetra have green hair!? its a weird blonde, with extra weirdness thanks to cel shading
i'd have to say OoT till the end, that game was friggn awesome, i played it for hours and hours, the whole concept was awesome. Majora's Mask pissed me off to tell you the truth, I never caught on to the time travel thing, mainly because of how it worked, I didn't even have the will to play that game till the end, just like I did Wind Waker.

i'm enjoying wind waker right now , i really love the lavish animated style graphics
the best use of cell shading and in the zelda universe , although i didn't like the concept of the sea , i've come to appreciate the whole thing as i'm near the end now

Well I mean it's pretty obvious. When I SEE green hair on zelda, I KNOW she has green hair. Well she does have green hair on my tv :plain:

You gotta remember, the windwaker is set way after all of the other zelda games. The "Link" that you play with is actually a whole new hero, not even related to the original Link, and "Zelda", in this game, is a decendant of the original Zelda. If you remember at the ending scene of OoT, Ganondorf said he would be back, even if he had to get their decendants. So, yeah, Zelda is a whole new character in this one.
