I just finished Twilight Princess for the first time a week ago, and now that I've had time to reflect on my experience with the game... here's what I think about this whole ordeal of which is better (OoT or TP), that you guys are creating.
First off, let me say that Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda game of all time with A Link to the Past as my second favorite. Majora's Mask has had THE best storyline of any Zelda game to date, and it's characters were brought to life (finally) because of a particular Dan Owsen not doing the translation that time around as he did for the travesty that was Ocarina of Time's characters... ugh.
Twilight Princess is now my favorite Zelda game of all time. The reason being that the game is extremely epic in scope alone. The vast worlds, incredible music, lovable (and hateful) characters, and much MUCH deeper gameplay are all of the reasons for its epic scope. True, there were a couple of dungeons that seemed a bit rushed (the Temple of Time being one -- which originally was supposed to be in Ocarina of Time). But the puzzles involved in each dungeon this time around were all a bit more complex when compared to puzzles in Ocarina of Time. Now, I still fully believe Majora's Mask has the best puzzle dungeons, but Twilight Princess is a VERY close second. And finally, the game just oozes with depth -- whether it be the transformation ability that Link has to play with TWO different styles of attacking (wolf and human forms) or even the skill sets that Link has the ability to learn -- all are amazing additions to the 3D Zelda formula. And in my opinion... having a great storyline, wonderful characters and interaction, complex dungeons puzzles, amazing graphical upgrade (over OoT anyway), very inspired level-designed music, and the tried-and-true Zelda gameplay intact makes this THE best Zelda game of all time. Hands down.
