I agree SS is a weak Zelda but it's probbaly what? Wind Waker level. That's still enough to destroy most of these games.
Also about the Hype Polls.......That's based on Hype. Now For me Uncharted 3 was more hyped than Zelda even on this site but of course Zelda having larger fanbase meant more people voted for Zelda.
End Result is that Zelda lived up to Hype because it wasn't that hyped in the first place compred to other Zeldas. Uncharted 3 didn't.
Zelda isn't going to come close to beating Skyrim though.
Also i'm interested to see how Dark Souls does. My personal GOTY and it will be stronger than people think. As far as how strong the games are for GOTY i think it goes
1. Skyrim
2. Zelda
3. Batman
4. Portal 2
5. Dark Souls
After the Gears 3 performance(which i'm disappointed about i voted for Gears 3 my fav exclusive) I think Dark Souls would comfortably beat MW3 and BF3 in a 1v1 poll(fairly confident of that after Hype polls too)
