That's not helpful. Ideally, you'd be able to compare the two based on various criteria. 

I, for example, love both franchises and there are entries in each series I dislike. FFVII is one of the FF games I love, whereas OOT is one of the entries in the Zelda series I personally find horribly overrated. 

I know it isn't Ideal. That is one reason I don't review or evaluate Zelda, because I know it is a great game that I wouldn't do justice when evaluating. Thus I prefer to honestly say I prefer one because I don't care much about the other, there may be one time when I'll try to play it though =p.

Perhaps during the transition to PS5 I'll have low backlog and may try zelda.

Yeeeeah, that's the thing. People assume me being critical of OOT is a show that I hate it or something. I don't, it's still, even for me, a 7.5 or 8.0 out of ten, it is still a GOOD game, but I just don't think it's held up at all and even then I thought it was a little underwhelming. yeah, it did have to compete with the limitations of the technology at the time and compared to its contemporaries it did really well...but like its contemporaries it really didn't age well. at all. I can't go back and play OOT anymore, it's just slow and janky and frustrating. if I look at it from a lens of 1998, sure it's impressive. But it was woefully outclassed by Wind Waker just a few years later. 

you know, the Zelda a vocal group people hated for being toony, even though that game holds up as well as Link to the Past.
