This is lile comparing cod with sonic... i think they both are good but mario has the same storyline. peach gets kidnapped mario goes through 8 worlds saves her,ect but super mario galaxy was great so was sunshine you really cant compare they are both great games but in zelda you know zelda always get kidnapped too but they make it so different each game you really dont mind. i just started re-playing zelda oot best zelda ever even today and if there were more games like that then more people would buy
i really dont get what bowser was trying to accomplish
His motive is almost always different. In the first SMB, Bowser (then known as King Koopa) was trying to overtake and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom because he is an evil anthropomorphic tortoise beast that leads a militaristic tribe of koopas that use black magic.The spell that they cast over the kingdom transformed many citizens into blocks and other objects. Knowing that Princess Toadstool was the only one capable of breaking the spell, he kidnapped her and hid her in (another) castle.With the alliance with the Goomba race, who betrayed the Mushroom Kingdom, King Koopa took over the kingdom.. until Mario, who heard the peril of this distant land, traveled through the 8 mushroom worlds and Koopa's troops, beat up his shelled ass and sent the beast careening into a pit of lava, and saved the princess. Then he pushed the "B" button to start a new quest.
In other games, Bowser kidnaps Peach for similar reasons or because it is (heavily) hinted he has affection for her.

The Zelda games are repetitive, too. Ganon escapes his prison or tries to obtain ALL the Triforce pieces to achieve god-like power. Link has to go stop this madman, sometimes with Zelda's aid, but she usually gets kidnapped and divides her Triforce of Wisdom into smaller pieces spread throughout Hyrule. Link has to beat Ganon, complete the Triforce, "LISTEN!", and not be mauled by psychotic foul. The end. Just as repetitive as Mario games.
