I've been playing Zelda The Ocarina of Time lately, how many have actually beaten it?

Great, now I'm gonna have to dust off my N64 thanks to this thread. I really loved this game back when it came out.

My feelings about Oot are strong but not nearly as strong as everyone elses I guess. It was an incredible game but will never take the place of a link to the past. That was a PERFECT game. And when I was playing oot it really just seemed to be link to the past in 3d. So it was just a tiny tiny tiny bit disappointing. Now Majora's Mask was really good. It was different then any other zelda game before and since. You could really get into the whole story. The whole world is ending and the different ways that people look at it. All the villagers you had to meet and know their schedules was just a wonderful experience.
So while oot was a great game I liked mm better and nothing can beat lttp.
As far as difficulty I don't think I used a guide at all. It wasn't that difficult that I can recall. Much of it was classic zelda fair and was somewhat easy to figure out if you played a zelda game before. Now lttp took me many many hours and many deaths to beat. That was a tough game and great to figure out all the little secrets.
I actually did buy a guide for that one after being stuck in the infernal ice palace. I could not figure out how to push the right block over the edge to hit the switch. I finally figured it out before getting the guide and cheated. Kind of. I got the cane that produces blocks in the next dungeon to bypass the real way of getting through. I thought I was pretty crafty at the time. On the GBA one they rigged it so you couldn't do that anymore.

Speaking of boss battles, I'm really fond of the one that had Gannon riding a horse out of various paintings on the wall. That was actually kind of spooky for some reason. Damn, now I think I might play this again myself.

Phantom Ganon,
Yeah that version of ganon looked the coolest. In full armor on his horse. But the last boss was easy, once you figure out, you just roll under his legs and attack his tail.
I think the boss I spent the hardest time on was mirror link and the abyss boss, both water level. I was just being stupid and couldnt figure out the paterns.
So this may be a stupid question, but is ganon/ganondorf in all of the zeldas?

Zelda fever seems to be hitting the web all over. Zelda: Majora's Mask is the featured article on wikipedia today .

"Return of Ganon"
I'm not sure about any of the Game Boy ones.
And to sidetrack, Zelda is the only series it seems that keeps me excited while playing.
For example, while playing A Link to the Past, did it drive anyone nuts having a magic item just out of reach? Like the damn posts all over dark world that you couldn't get past until you got the hammer from the first temple; you were ecstatic when you finally got it or until you realized that NOW you needed titan's mitt. It's the feeling that something is just out of reach, and now that you have it, 'tis a glorious feeling indeed.

Back to the topic at hand, I've decided to bring my N64 out of retirement. I'm going try and obtain Majora's Mask (along with the needed expansion pack) and give it a go. Though I'm almost certain I won't like it as much as Ocarina of Time.
