OoT is the classic early 3d Zelda game, and will always be a great game, but there are things I love about MM. I'm not sure if I'm willing to say I like one more than the other, but let me make it clear that I LOVE Majora's Mask. The gameplay is just a lot better. There are lots of little improvements, such as with trading items, which was integrated into conversations, thus no more bottles accidentally emptied on the ground in front of someone, etc. Young Link actually gets to use items everyone wished he could use before. The story is, I personally think, BETTER if only because the classic Zelda story gets tiresome. OoT told it marvelously, but Majora's Mask gets points for making a new and bizarre story along similar lines of uniqueness as Link's Awakening.
Long story short, both great games. Nothing can replace OoT as the magnificent, classic, early 3d Zelda game, but Majora's Mask is nonetheless also an amazing game. Has great music too. =)
