think of it like this
Majora's Mask = Perfectly Programmed
Sands of Time = Glitch Frenzy (including glitches that force you to start the game again)
If a game is well designed, then glitches can become incidental problems.
It's not the technical prowess of those games that impress me, otherwise I would have chosen something much more recent, and much more technically impressive, like
Resident Evil 5 or
Crysis or something. What attracts me to both games is that they're atmospheric, engaging, and psychologically complex. It's the power of
ideas, feelings and emotions which makes me love them so much.
Not that
Majora's Mask was even well put together for an N64 title. But considering the entire thing was developed in a single year, that's understandable.
