Zelda or Metroid

Metroid easily. Metroid has one screw up in the entire franchise, and every other game is excellent. Metroid Prime 2 is tied for my favorite game of all time. Prime and Super aren't too far behind it either.

WW is the game tied for first, but really besides that, Zelda has been lame lately.

TP was pretty slow, and honestly bored me.
SS was terrible, really a bad game
ST and PH were both not good.

Metroid is superior. It's much harder, has a bigger focus on exploration, and still feels like it's aimed towards gamers.

The last two Metroid games hardly focused on exploration at all. MP3 and M:OM were both extremely linear. True for Zelda as well, but in that aspect, neither franchise has a right to talk about "exploration".

 

M:OM was extremely easy as well, and MP3 was just kind of "meh" difficulty. Again, I wouldn't say either franchise has a right to talk about this area. Only the first Metroid was harder than the first Zelda outside of the second quest (only because Metroid was even more vague and confusing), but after that the difficultly hasn't been all that drastically different in most cases. Majora's Mask was about as hard as echoes, Ocarina of Time and MP1 were about the same, Metroid 2 is probably easier than Zelda 2..LttP is probably a little harder than Super Metroid. It's either pretty even or one edges above the other a bit depending on which games we're comparing. Plus, Spirit Tracks was definitely a lot harder than Metroid Fusion, sorry to say.

Metroid Prime 2 is harder than any Zelda game I've played. Play it.

Other M doesn't exist.

Besides the last 2 games, exploration has been the focus.
