Team Rocket Elite 09/16/21 2:04:35 PM #151:	X-Stats can be made from the percentages on the bracket: https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2021/09/16/best-video-game-of-all-time-bracket-9-15-1631813127301.jpg Zero decimal places so this isn't great but you could do it. If Instagram shows percentages with decimal places (I don't have an account so I don't know what it looks like), you could also do X-Stats based on that and just ignore all the other sites since they don't matter anyways. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

I agree, and it's also why I don't have a lot of faith in Majora's Mask holding up (and maybe there was some real legitimacy to Breath of the Wild's crushing of it). Breath of the Wild stole Majora's Mask's 'well-liked weird Zelda' crown and is running with it to the point where I'm not sure the series can go back to the old ways. BotW is not really weird and I dont see MM hipsters flocking to BotW. If anything, I feel the opposite in that if any N64 game has the least reason to decline, it's MM due to a lot of its grief/death related aesthetic and atmosphere that have remained popular in the gaming public consciousness. --- congrats to azuarc, our GotD2 guru! <cite>squexa posted [p:958122006] in IGN Best V...
