So has the entire Zelda series apart from BotW fallen off, or am I just being the most obnoxious troll in the topic rn?
Breath of the Wild has been beating Majora's 2015 xstat value for the entire contest. It's just different seeing it happen in real time.

This is a top 3 showing if you presume a static MM. Even a weakened MM puts BotW above ALttP with this result currently.

All the fodder this bracket looks so much better now.

Eh, it still looks awful. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure how many entrants from the last GotD bracket would "compete" with the worst from this one.

Welp, finished in the 91/95 percentile on my first contest entry. Not bad. Way overestimated RDR/RDR2 and Undertale. Way underestimated the Persona games. And Dark Souls to some degree.

Oh, and I picked BotW to win. But it was going up against Skyrim.

I think it's easier for a 3D zelda to SFF another 3D zelda. MM might have resisted the SFF from a 2D zelda.

#23 onthe 2nd chance bracket leaderboards

I'd imagine this is less SFF then most Zelda matches would be, since a big part of why Breath of the Wild was so big is because it re-invented itself and found a new audience. It actually upset quite a few older Zelda fans that it wasn't focused on just dungeons anymore.

Oot would be doing the reversal here on BOTW easily. BOTW was ahead of MM in that zelda poll

that shows its more favoured but it was still miles behind Lttp and OoT

With this performance, BotW may be our number 3 game on this site, I wouldn't take it over OoT and probably not CT either, but it looks to be stronger than LttP which only did about 52% on MM in 2015 (though under the effects of Undertale rally spillover).

botw beats lttp in a 1v1 match. Lttp is like FF6. In a multiway it beats oot. But in a 1v1 it barely beat majora.

Ocarina of Time (2015g) VS Majoras Mask (2015g)
Ocarina of Time has a strength of 47.95.
Majoras Mask has a strength of 38.41.
Ocarina of Time wins with 59.95% of the vote!

Obviously this doesn't account for SFF, but yeah
