I think it does, because, when it comes to randomizers, they're all equally obtainable, yet a vast majority of people choose ALttP, when they could choose any of them just as easily. I feel like that says SOMETHING, atleast. Whether that's "People enjoy playing ALttP," or "People enjoy watching ALttP," whatever... It seems people favor ALttP, for one reason or another, that has nothing to do with sales or any other verifiable metric that specifically ISN'T quality.

I mean I'd just chalk it up to LttP being the most popular, so it's what people know, so it's what people want to randomize/develop randomizers for. There's also a huge overlap between randomizer communities and speedrunning communities, and LttP is a popular speed game.

It's the same deal with Super Metroid. Super and Prime sit at the top of the Metroid totem pole in terms of popularity, and they also have the most extensive randomizer communities. But I wouldn't use that as evidence to say that Super and Prime are technically superior to Dread and Prime 2.

The games people played the most will always get the most attention. It's not any deeper than that
