I love the story of Zelda. Mario shouldn't be there, it's story doesn't even make sense.
Zelda hands down.

Metroid; I prefer the way it's presented.
well i go with zelda because i really never got into the metroid games but if those stories were to fit together better than the zelda series i would go with that i like when games go in chronalogical order lol idk i just like how you know when you play then next one you are going to pick it up and know exactly what it is going to be like.
i dunno the metroid prime games are really effin good, OOT is just about the best game ever made so ill have to say Zelda
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption no contest.
went with Zelda, I like Mario the most out of all them and its got the funniest story. Come on a plumber fighting a big lizard to save a princess is pretty sweet. I've only played corruption and i liked it but the story is whack in my opinion too much computer jargo and weird stuff goin on. Zelda overall the coolest but don't bash Mario's story when comparing it to the whack story of Metroid.
[QUOTE=''Thiago26792'']I love the story of Zelda. Mario shouldn't be there, it's story doesn't even make sense.[/QUOTE]agreed Mario's story line is either the same or lame:o
When I think Zelda I think triforce, visit the farm, save zelda kill ganon. Repeat with story with each rehash and change the method to accomplish the same things story wise. Though I do like trying to think how each game in the 'series' fits together. But I'm not even sure it ever was suppose to.



Metroid seems much more intense storywise. Deals with extinction and bio-warfare and a lot of other topics that are interesting in real life too (at least to me). combined across more than one trilogy and a few other off-shoot games makes it a lot more interesting as a story and series.



Mario has too many different stories to make a series out of any of them. Thus Mario's series as a story = fail.
metroid. no contest.Mario and zelda have almost the same story line. Mario is relaxing, then some stupid fire breathing turtul comes out of nowere and kidnaps the princcesLink is relaxing, then a stupid wizard/warrior dude with a funny name comes from his ''dark kingdome'' and kidnaps the princces.then, bowser gets beatup by a plumer, and ganondorph(spelling?) gets beatup by a farmboy.
MARIO whats the point ? This was tough but i am a true Metroid fan and metroid prime , just the first one alone is like heaven compacted on a disk same with windwaker and majoira's mask (cartridge) thoes are my favrite zelda games but the metroid prime seris , super metroid and fusion were amazing.
Mario's RPGs have some pretty good plots, in fact, I vote for them. They're funny. Zelda's are almost never great, but they're presented well. Metroid Prime had good plots, but I never played any of them.And by the way, I know people will object to this, so let me set this straight, it's my opinoin, and I'm not going to let some stranger on the internet change it. Zelda's storylines are typically bland. There, I said it. Flame away.Edit: But I still love the Zelda series, forgot to mention that. My third-favorite series after Mario and Smash Bros.
If they bothered to flesh Metroid out, then sure. Its got a fantastic setting and tons of potential. But many of you seem to be forgetting that with the exception of Fusion, there has been no actual story beyond ''Kill enemies'' and ''Oh noes, Phazon''. No character development, dialogue, emotional bonds (excluding Fusion) or even a decent climax. Think of it this way. If you had to turn any of these into a non-interactive, 100% faithful adaption, full length movie experience, which would hold your attention the most? If you say anything other than Zelda, then it'd be wise to examine your head. Because Metroid would be two hours of Samus backtracking.
I'm gonna have to say Metroid. It's the only series listed above that has a different story each time. Every time there's a new Mario game, you go out to save Peach, and the same goes for Zelda.

No Peach and Zelda saving. Try harder.
Zelda is obviously the winner hear. Although Metriod was better than Mario, It seemed a little on the generic side with its si-fi feel. Not to say it wasn't good, but I thought Zelda to be more epic and involving. I don't understand why you put Mario in there, since his story isn't good at all

Wow. I personally feel that both Zelda and Metroid could make a good full length movie. But I would definately go with Metroid as that would be like watching an awesome 'Aliens like' movie. Sorry, that would definately be cooler than seeing a boy in green tights.



An with regards to backtracking... In Zelda OoT you crossed the field of hyrule how many times? Granted eventually you did it with a horse and a different sky. Both games had plenty of backtracking. Metroid just stands out more because usually it was because you were lost and you had to keep telling yourself 'I swear I've been here 10 times! wth?!' Zelda you just ran though it without noticing you were backtracking most of the game.
