Twilight Princess is a better game because it's just a better "game", level design, combat, exploration (Riding epona, huge world with little loading).  People who say Ocarina of time is better has the nostalgia glasses on.  The only real thing you can say about Ocarina of Time being better is difficulty , story and art (Story and Art I like better in Twighlight Princess, but story and art is subjectional).  Music is the same for both game, midi and all.  When people say Ocarina of Time is better it's cause of nostalgia.


nostalgia goggles? I#m, sorry but that is a horrible argument. And you make some awful points. Huge world? in context back in 1998 OoT's world was huge, TP's world while huge has jack **** to do. Which is a negative not a positive. Combat is essentially the exact same, TP has a few more fancy moves...woohooo. Graphics are obviously better on TP, but the actual design of the game isn't as good. Difference is TP basically does very little new and what it does do new(wolf gameaply) is poorly executed and horribly paced.

Story is worse in TP, ganon comes out of nowhere and Zant is arguably the worst villain to brace a Zelda game. The game has huge and great dungeons i'll give it credit for that but there are hardly any sidequests, no magic and some of the characters are dull as hell. Pig ganon fight was also terrible.

TP as a standalone game is a great adventure game no doubt but compared to the other 3D zelda games it's just not an overall improvement but a backwards step especially in terms of content.

 MM is a lot better than TP as well. It has a smaller world but there's more to do and the story/characters are far superior.

World: I'm not necessarily saying Twilight Princess' world is better because it's bigger, I'm saying it's better because it's seamless, the only time it loads is when you enter a town, other than that it never loads and you can get through 90% of Hyrule on Epona which makes for some nice horseback riding that you can't do in Ocarina of time.  Hell the final boss battle involves a crazy horse back fight against Ganon.

No sidequests?  What are you talking about?  Minigames?  Fishing?  heart collecting?  If you mean those then they're all in the game.

Twilight Princess doesn't do much new but it refines what was done before it.  Combat is more refined and thus better.

Those wolves section of the games were amazing, it changed the gameplay up and gave you something different to do than just hack and slash.  Was it as sophisticated as time travel?  I say yes, hell you can do more in wolf form than going between child and adult link.

Story is subjectional, I liked Twilight Princess story better, but it's subjectional and you can very well like Ocarina of Time better and I said that already.   And yes I liked Zant in the story and the end was very sad to me (Hit me emotionally far more than Ocarina of Time did).

And like above with the sidequests; how was it a step backwards in terms of content?  I actually found myself doing more in Tilight Princess than Ocarina of Time. 

And your last point, what does this thread have to do with Majora's Mask?  It may very well be better than every Zelda game made (Never played it yet to say for true), but this thread is about Twilight Princess being underrated to Ocarina of Time and yes it is.
