the question is. Those lttp voters...what game are they more likely to side with oot or BOTW?

i just think its crazy to put botw up on this pedastal when weve seen it against 3 fodder level opponents

Betting on OoT, don't people say that game is LttP in 3D?

BotW dominated 2017 polls, and 2017 is widely regarded as one of the best gaming years ever.

Outside of OoT, MM, and maaaybe LttP, I can't see BotW losing a non-rallied match. CT, FF7, and Pokemon RBY might be able to keep it close, but Zelda is dominant and BotW is the definitive Nintendo game of the past 10-20 years. And this is coming from a guy who personally thinks it's the worst 3D Zelda.

If I did the math right, 66.03%

....Okay so either Journey/Skyrim was the weirdest match ever or BotW is breaking 60% on Skyrim (either directly or through Witcher 3) easily because I would consider FFXV only managing 70% embarrassing.

So is Dragon Quest currently stronger than Final Fantasy at this time? That's just unthinkable not long ago.

How the mighty have fallen. The merger murdered FF.

it's possible I did the math wrong!

I mean Skyrim did get exposed by Journey and that FFXV number just goes to show you how much it was.

If your math is right, Journey needs to beat FFXV just for Skyrim to break 40%

The contest (Game of the Decade 2020) was already ruined by real rallies.

See Shovel Knight vs Octopath Traveler match. Shovel Knight started the first rally for that match.

Shovel Knight will be burned by Super Mario Odyssey.

About rallies, how do some Reddit threads succeed in gathering votes but some others dont even got noticed? is there any magic to make your rally work better?
Also is it possible to rally outside of Reddit?

The nice thing about BotW is it is strong enough to no sell small rallies. So there's a good chance we get the contest winner right. However, there's always the threat of a big rally that even BotW can't withstand.

Divinity: Original Sin II vs. NieR: Automata
Registered Vote Result:
Divinity: Original Sin II - 2634 (29.75%)
NieR: Automata - 6219 (70.25%)

Anonymous Vote Result:
Divinity: Original Sin II - 2954 (34.38%)
NieR: Automata - 5637 (65.62%)

Looks like the Divinity: Original Sin II rally actually had some effect here. NieR: Automata did over 4.5% better with registered users. Based on round 1, it looked like NieR: Automata would have done better with registered users if there had been no rally. The rally didn't seem to be that large, probably about 500 votes at the very most.

Mario Kart 8 did almost 3% better with registered users, Skyrim about 2.5% better and Pokemon around 2.3% better here. The effect of the rally on these 3 matches can't be determined here as the rally wasn't large enough to produce a shift in the registered/anonymous user splits that looks highly unusual based on what these games have done in the past with registered and anonymous users.

People can rally for game X outside of Reddit.

Lost to Majora's Mask which then preceded to beat Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the title.

Link always wins (barring rallies).
Zelda always wins (barring rallies).

Only thing is, FFXV beats mass effect 3.
It essentially would become a match of who gets antivoted more, and no way ME3 loses that.

skyrim and dark souls probably

theres no way it doubles witcher. Too many factors going into that for it to happen. One of them being witcher is just as beastly as an entity as BOTW. Games like dark souls and skyrim are nearly 10 years old and popularity has diminished.

I dont think it doubles witcher either but the bolded part is just straight up wrong.
There's a much bigger gap between zelda and any other game in this contest than there is between witcher(which seems to be the 2nd seed now) and something like skyrim or dark souls.

Zelda is so good that the rest of it's votes for the day could count as zero and it would still win off its current vote total.

It's very likely that the combined votes of its first 4 opponents against it still wouldn't beat it's best tally against one of them

BotW inspired me to buy a Champion's Tunic shirt. I love it.

Looking forward for some brown boots to complete the outfit (I've also never used [or wanted] boots in my life).
