Really grinds my gears.

Not to mention them Ancient Gear things from Yu-Gi-Oh.

No one seems to get this.

The only thing keeping you from bashing Magneton and friends is nostalgia.

No, the thing that prevents me from bashing that is that it looks aesthetically pleasing.  That Gear thing looks like a mash of random crap.  It doesn't look like three Gears put together like Magneton does.

Similar to Ocarina of Time. In fact, that grinds my gears. People say it was THE BEST LOZ GAME EVERRRR OMGGGGG and I hated it. Majora's Mask was better. Twilight Princess was better. People just loved it because it was the first 3D LOZ they played and it's special to them.

Similar to a certain person who despises Sunshine. It was better than 64.

Sunshine rocked and was better than 64 in pretty much every way, including difficulty. ACCURSED YOSHI PUZZLE.

You know what grinds my gears?  Super Mario Sunshine.  Hated that game.  64 was better, but Galaxy is the best.

^This. Twilight Princess majorly sucked, it's just any fanboy's dream to play a LoZ with a handsome, not polygonic Link. But I do agree Majora's has some neat features I loved, specially difficulty and that dark feeling most games dont have.

Did you even read his post?  He said Twilight Princess was better than Ocarina, and then you said Twilight Princess sucked.

Anyhoo, oddly enough, I can't get into the 3-D Zelda's, but I can remain interested in the 2D ones just fine.  Of the 3-D ones, I'd still say Ocarina is the best.  Twilight Princess starts too slow and the plot has many confusing holes, especially at the beginning, that are given half-assed explanations that make no sense.  I think I have a fear of wide-open spaces with nothing around, so Wind Waker gets a definite "no" there.  Plus, although I never made it that far, just watching the map hunt was enough to tell it was tedious.  Majora is fun, but I hate being pressured to finish crap in 3 days.  Plus, compared to Ocarina, it's just so much less epic in scale.  That, and there's that ass backwards saving system with the owl statues.  My roommate forgot that your save from the owl statues becomes erased after you start, so he had to go through the entire Zora egg hunt again because of it.

Nice way to overreact. I did read it, what I meant is that gameplay and story wise, considering console and age both games got into sale, Twilight DOES suck compared to Ocarina of Time. That's what I meant, sorry for not explaining myself correctly. Besides, it's not like I'm attacking him, he's a pretty cool guy that doesn't afraid of anything, I was just stating my opinion on the matter. Ocarina is way too epic to be compared with a over-hyped game with bad controls and a story line that, for a zelda fan, is just a let down since it has nothing to do with the rest of the games in any way (I lol'd at Zoras, like what the eff). Maybe nostalgia has something to do with it, but who cares. Also, Majora's mask IS awkward, I hate the owl statue system to the core, but the dark characters you get to meet, their stories and such make an amazing ambient for the player. And I had more fun getting every mask and item than in any other Zelda game.

You're one of the first persons I've met that thinks Wind Waker is just way too tedious. All of my friends love the freaking game, maybe it's the cel-shaded graphics. You spend 80% of the game sailing. I stopped playing when I got to the Triforce shards thingy and sold the game to a friend afterwards. Just ew.

I personally enjoyed Wind Waker a lot. The sailing was annoying but at some point, you just start to hum along with the tunes while going from place to place....or at least I did.

Twilight Princess was ok, kept me amused but I can't really say it lived up to my expectations.

I'm also totally clueless on how good Majora's Mask is as I....never played it D;

Also something that totally grinds my gears....console wars. The neverending struggle to decide the best when no one can agree =/

Because you can't define the "best" Each console has something going for it. Each one has it's strength and weaknesses. There was a true winner, and never will be. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, opinions and experiences. To define the best console is ridiculously stupid. And all it does is create unneeded conflict.
