Best and worst generational transitions for a series

[curl-6]

For me:

Best:

Ocarina of Time (Pretty much wrote the book on 3D action games and set a new gold standard)

Mario 64 (Did the same for 3D platformers)

Metroid Prime (A masterpiece of atmosphere and immersion)

Breath of the Wild (Used the generational leap in power over the Wii not just for prettier pixels but also for richer, more organic and sophisticated gameplay)

 

Worst:

Wind Waker (I think people know my thoughts on this one pretty well by now)

Mario Sunshine (From the epic Mario 64 to being a janitor at a resort. Bleh)

Donkey Kong 64 (After the superb DKC games, this was a big step down, aimless and loaded with filler)

Starfox Adventures (Again, going from the amazing Starfox 64 to a dumbed down Zelda for babies sucked)

Banjo Kazooie Nuts 'n' Bolts (The original two were masterpieces, this was a gimmicky, fiddly, unsatisfying bore)
