hmm depends on the criteria. So much love/hate with final fantasy. I don't really have anything bad to say about Zelda, but there was a time that i would have said FF and it wouldn't have been close. I'd have to choose Zelda now, i can be pretty sure it's gonna be a great game.

If we're just talking about the early titles until FF7 (let's just say) I think it'd be close.

Legend Of Zelda (NES) >>>>> Final Fantasy (NES)

Adventure's of Link >>>>> (the actual) FF2

A Link To The Past >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Final Fantasy 3

Link's Awakening <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Final Fantasy 4

Ocarina Of Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Final Fantasy 5

Windwaker = Final Fantasy 6

Twilight Princess (many peoples favorite) to me would be <<<< Final Fantasy 7

And shit, since we only have one more LoZ to go:

Skyward Sword >>>>>> FInal Fantasy 8

5/8 in favor of LoZ overall and one tie. I know it's all opinion, but I think you'll have a hard time finding people who would prefer the actual first 3 Final Fantasies over the first three LoZs. They weren't that good. On the other hand, it's hard to find someone that doesn't love Legend Of Zelda and A Link To The Past (The Adventures Of Link had very mixed reactions, and I originally hated the game but grew to love it).

*Edit: I'm just saying if it were just early Final Fantasies and Legend of Zeldas, I have a hard time believing it wouldn't be at least close. Not that LoZ would win.

I think twilight princess is much better than Final Fantasy 7, but maybe thats because its my fave game of all time
