Pretty good list. Riding Epona was pretty amazing back then

[Battlestriker123]

I think the ending for Conker's Bad Fur Day should have been on this list. Actually, I take that back. The entire game should have been on this list!

[Mirr0rR3flection]

89. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask – Clock Town is crushed

I was horrified seeing it get crushed. DX

[TheLastBlade]

What makes this an exceptional list is that Call of Duty isn't #1.

[JabuJabule]

How is not pulling the Master Sword (Either OoT, or even TP!) not there?!

[MrChewtoy]

Some of these sound more like "most satisfying" than the best moments. But that may be a bit picky.

[Shaanyboi]

Riding Epona? THAT'S what they pick from OOT? The horse which is only there to make running through the completely empty field less of a chore?

[link2metroid]

Now where's the best game of all time on that list? Super Metroid. What about the speed boost? I thought that was really cool. I still remember the flashing yellow and the whizzing sound like an electric motor. It was great when you ran through the walls or enemies, you felt invincible. Or when you held down while speed boosting you could fly straight up into the air and the whole animation looked brilliant. It was great for exploring out of reach areas. I can still picture blasting through that wall outside up above the ship to the left in the cliff face. Deadly. Then there are other cool abilities, the grappling beam, morph ball, x-ray scope and the screw attack. Take your pick.

[JumpmanFR]

I would definitely put the final scene of Mother 3 to the top 3 of this list.
Too bad the game has not been made available outside Japan.

[motherbra1n]

pretty lame list in my opinion. They're just listing decent moments in great games which had far better moments

[CHAOSDRAGON88]

Robbing a Latiku for his cloud while showering flaming justice was on of my earliest moments in gaming where I felt God-like. Also, transforming into a Ninja falcon while my brother threw shruriken was amazing (Ninja Crusaders).
SMG 2's ending was quite epic and Flying in SMG was amazing as well.

[Stewox]

Where the heck is Starfox 64 (lylat wars)

[Stewox]

That Call of duty all ghilled up wasn't bad at all - that's COD4 which was the original Infinity Ward game and still greatest of PC games.

It was when IW had arguments with ATVI and they released COD6:ModernWarfare2 (MW2) that's when the COD became shovel ever since.

[Yarbskoo]

pretty lame list in my opinion. They're just listing decent moments in great games which had far better moments

Not to mention most of these don't even really qualify as "moments".

yeah i don't see how riding around with epona classifies as a "moment"
