Paper Mario is great... but all that fighting is a little bit annoying, so i prefer Zelda -> itīs nearly perfect (for nin64)

Zelda. Excellent series. Mario gets old in all honesty, and the newer games tend to tick me off.

I prefer Paper Mario to the Legend of Zelda mainly because while I love how much detail and length there is in the Legend of Zelda, I can never seem to quite complete any of the Zelda series games completely. They usually end up boring me by the end.

Zelda of course. It is a longer game, far more difficult and the gameplay is more diverse than any mario game could ever be. Zelda, no contest.

First I thought about Zelda but honestly when I remembered playing Paper Mario the first time it stunned me. Sure once you beat it there isn't much to replay but going through the first time the puzzles are fresh and interesting as opposed to the zelda formula of push this item here and something will happen. Taking replay into account Paper Mario isn't that fun to replay while Zelda is.

I have to say Zelda. For one, I didn't like Paper Mario's set up. And two, I've always been a huge fan of Zelda, always followed the series.

Well I wouldn't compare both games because their genre is quite different. But Zelda is the most prominent.

zelda. Better universe, characters, and gameplay. RPG elements without the tedious turn-based gameplay. Plus Link is so badass, Zelda is so hawt, and Ganondorf is sooo evil!

This question is the greatest question, for both Zelda and Paper Mario belong to different genre's of video games. Therefore the correct question should be which do you like better: Zelda or Paper Mario? Thus, in my own opinion, I enjoy The Legend of Zelda better, although Paper Mario is a great series as well. The Legend of Zelda is a more serious style of dungeon style of adventure game, while Paper Mario is a more humurous style of RPG. The graphics and soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda are by far the superior of the two, with a stunningly beautiful soundtrack that is memorable in itself and the graphics are superb as well. Paper Mario of course, does not focus on creating an intense soundtrack and visually stunning style of graphics. It rather focuses on creating an enjoyable, light and witty, family friendly game. The storyline is also more memorable in The Legend of Zelda series. Of course, some parts of it are cliche, such as the kidnapped Princess Zelda, yet other aspects of the storyline make up for it. Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past are some of the most unique plots interwoven into the main storylines. In retrospect, The Legend of Zelda is a far superior game, but that is mainly because it is one of the greatest game series of all time. Paper Mario is a tremendous game in itself, but it will never compare to The Legend of Zelda. The Scholar

Hard question, I would say that depends on the style of games people like, Paper Mario was an active RPG that in a way was superior from LoD, but then we have Zelda that featured so many items and stuff to do... I do not know i personally prefer Paper Mario because i adore RPGs but only for that aspect, i still love Zelda

Paper mario is a cute game, I have fun playing this game but I still love zelda. Zelda OOT took me 3 years to finish and I almost quit. I felt so proud when I finished Zelda OOT.

Both games belong to different genres.If I want a dungeon mastering, item upgrading and major donkey kicking, I choose Zeldas.If I want to have a good time and laugh at a weird and cool thing to it , I choose paper mario.

id agree with death_by_breakfast........ zelda can get a little bit more aggravating due to many different strategy parts and having to have every arsenal of commands to figure out what to do to advance in the game... but i like a little challenge sometimes =)Id play paper mario just like in comparison for playing Pokemon leaf green... or for the japanese... soul silver.... its an updated more present version of a very old and fun game that youd like to play again...... i love playing the old games and to be able to play a "shinier" version of a game is awesome and plus mario is awesome =)These games are timeless and no matter what these games are going to keep coming out and theyre going to be more inticing =)

You honestly can't compare these two series together. You're comparing 3 rpgs, good rpgs indeed, to one of the most praised in cherished series in all of gaming: The Legend of Zelda. A fairer match would be to compare the Mario series to the Zelda Series.But I prefer Paper Mario anyway. Those games give me good times.
