I'm not entirely surprised to see that Majora's Mask won that title. There seems to be a huge crowd who really loves the game, and support it very, very strongly.
Me personally? I enjoyed the game greatly, and as a follow-up to Ocarina of Time it's nearly perfect. It was somewhat similar, while being very different, which was great coming off of OoT. The three day cycle was always looming, but I felt it posed a unique challenge to accomplish as much as possible with the time you were allotted.
This meant avoiding dungeons until the three day cycle was fresh, and taking your time enjoying the in-game characters and side quests. As a big side quester, I truly enjoyed this aspect, though the removal of the ability to save anywhere was rough trade-off.
I think it's unquestionably better than Wind Waker, but if I were to put it head-to-head with Twilight Princess, it's nowhere near as enjoyable.
I will agree with one thing, I'm glad it beat Brawl, though I still have no idea how that beat Melee. What a shame.
