As anyone could already tell you, Nintendo's two top gaming franchises are Mario and Zelda. One is a collection of platforming games (and the occasional RPG and sports game), while the other is about exploring the world (even if you have to do it in a certain way to advance the story). Both game series are good, but I was wondering which one do you like better. I know the whole deal is basically comparing apples and oranges, but some people like platforming games over adventure games and vice versa.
For my opinion without going into personal problems, I love Zelda over Mario. The stories appeal to me, it's fun to explore the world without a death timer (Majora's Mask is an exception, but you have a way of dealing with that), the rang of enemies is far wider, each game has its own art style, and the characters are unforgettable! That's what I like about it in a nutshell.
Even though I first played Super Mario 64 before Ocarina of Time, I remember enjoying the Zelda games and fantasizing about them over the Mario games.
