GNGOAT Round 1, Match 8

Welcome to the Greatest Nintendo Game of All Time contest, first round.

The matchups were randomly decided.

I will put the matches up every other day, and each round will be open for three days (so there'll probably be 2 or 3 matches taking place at any one time). I want to get through the first round as quickly as possible.

ROUND ONE, MATCH EIGHT

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 released in 2000. Majora's Mask is the sixth main installment in The Legend of Zelda series and the second using 3D graphics. Approximately 314,000 copies of the game were sold during its first week in Japan, and three million copies were sold worldwide. Majora's Mask was acclaimed by critics, who praised the graphics and complex story. It is now considered to be one of the best games ever made.

VERSUS

Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Chrono Trigger is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. The game's story follows a group of adventurers who travel through time to prevent a global catastrophe. Chrono Trigger was a critical and commercial success upon release and is frequently cited as one of the best video games of all time. Nintendo Power magazine described aspects of Chrono Trigger as revolutionary, including its multiple endings, plot-related sidequests focusing on character development, unique battle system, and detailed graphics. Chrono Trigger was the third best-selling game of 1995, and the game's SNES and PlayStation iterations have shipped 2.65 million copies as of March 2003.
