I've been on gamefaqs for 6 years and each year they make some sort of character battle, The result were Link,Link,Link,Link Ocarina of time and now it will be Link x Ganondorf.

It's fun to play a game or bet on something when you have no idea of the outcome, but we all know that Link will forever win because of nostalgia goggles or something similar.

So I'm just curious, why this contest each year if there no contest.

It's supposed to bring more hits to the site. This contest is the first one ever that has apparently failed to do so.

There are other matches than just the final match, you know. In order to win the prize money you kind of have to get those correct too.

L-Block won one time, and the reason it is run is because you didn't predict Pokemon Trainers' path correctly, because you didn't predict Snake to beat Sephiroth, you didn't predict Shadow of the Colossus to beat Metal Gear Solid 2, you didn't predict Knuckles to beat Magus, you didn't...need I go on?

Journey not destination, broseph.

keep in mind that the reason people dont win is because of other matches

not because of people not taking Link to win the finals

There has never been a classic final match, apart from L-Block if you want to count that.

Journey, not destination.

I thought they kept having these so they could support a FF7 remake where Aeriths and Cloud get MARRIEEED.
