Today's poll is a perfect illustration of the GameFAQs visitor's shallowness and unwillingness to let go of the old. It has been 20 years since Zelda 64 was released, and the GameFAQs visitor is still clinging to their memories of this game, while the series has been declining and becoming increasingly irrelevant with each release--a well earned decline, considering what Nintendo has been doing to the classic formula. It baffles me that somehow the protagonist from this game can still ride high off the popularity of a game released that long ago and still beat modern, relevant characters from critically acclaimed games.

It is not even because Zelda 64 was that great of a game for its time. All it did was catch the attention of teenagers and pubescent boys with a move from 2-D to 3-D and turn some heads with its bishounen anime designs, but in doing so it destroyed its creative identity. Before Zelda 64, the series used to have a distinct artistic identity, with a somewhat round faced elf in a colorful world. Zelda 64 turned that into a generic fantasy anime, starring an impossibly beautiful and bishounen lead. And it worked with the shallow gamers, establishing the Link as a perennial favorite among GameFAQs visitors. I just wish the people here would let old irrelevant games die off like they deserve.

I think it was about a musou game with lolis, but it was pretty good for taking out of context. :)

Although I have not beaten either yet, I have to say that Red Dead Redemption 2 is waaay more fun than Breath of the Wild.

Arthur Morgan should come in for a bonus battle and collect his bounty.

They have been ordinary, for the most part. Nothing exciting.

Though I thought it was only a couple of years since the last contest? I seem to vaguely remember posting a topic about Undertale vs Zelda or something like that.

Cloud is only liked by his fanboys. Everyone else is just sick of Cloud every contest.

The odds of Link winning were like his sword compared to Clouds - more realistic.

It's possible. I kind of didn't pay too much attention to the Undertale contest because the boards were pretty... infested let's just say.

Even discounting Breath of the Wild, there are lots of Zelda fans who prefer at least one Zelda game over Ocarina of Time - for me the best Zelda is Wind Waker.

Ocarina of Time is far from one of the worst offenders, but the game shows its age.
