(Commentor's note: I had to work extra today and couldn't get Prime 3, so I still haven't played it.)
Reviews don't affect my opinion of which games are the best or my favorites.
Presentation wise, Zelda is the best IMO, but I have put in way more hours on each of several other games that are "not as good". I've probably put more hours, gotten more value, and had more fun with Elebits and Excite Truck.
I understand how that opinion forms. A comparison: Zelda is better than Elebits is like saying Citizen Kane is better than Bazing Saddles. Best and favorite are two different things. I have seen Citizen Kane several times, yes, and I think it is one of the best examples of how to make a movie. But I enjoy Blazing Saddles over and over again, and really got my money's worth out of the $7.50 DVD.
When somebody asks me what is the best Wii game I will say Zelda, with out having to look at Gamerankings/GameStats/MetaCritic or explain that Elebits is still my favorite game on Wii.
And, for the record, I prefer History of the World Part One.
@grandmaster192: Most people (including me) who played OOT when it first came out would go with that, but I see where you are coming from. I think Wind Waker is one of the best looking, best playing, most fun, and engaging games of all time. I think Wind Waker will live on in popularity beyond OOT and TP. The graphics are timeless which makes it accessible to new generations of gamers. That is one the few games that I would like to see Wii-made in the next gen to support HD and widescreen, with out changing anything else.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
