The Zelda series has always stood as an example of simplicity and purity in storytelling: Link's adventures are modeled after Shigeru Miyamoto's childhood exploring woods and caves. This is the case for OoT, but we also see Link as an adult facing a very real threat from Ganon. The high point of this game, and the feature I remember most, is the gameplay. I'll always remember how to get through all the dungeons and beat all the bosses. The music was great as well.
Of course FF7 has a great (if not convoluted and poorly translated) plot, one of the best in video game history. Cloud is a complex character with some real issues (everyone he gets close to seems to die), and I've never been as motivated to defeat a villian as I have to beat Sephiroth. Cloud's struggle to find self-worth and a cause to fight for, the loss of Aerith, and the final confrontation with Sephiroth are all moments that I'll remember for the rest of my life. I definitely won't remember most of the intermediary moments and random battles, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. And, of course, who doesn't get chills when they listen to the FF7 soundtrack and the numerous live performances and covers of it.
How am I supposed to decide here? Both stand out among the greatest games ever, and both envoke fond memories. This is seriously going to take a good deal of thought and reflection!
