"The Ocarina of Time is the best game ever ... metacritic says so."
Though I agree that the agregate gives a better sense of the quality of game; one has to consider when the reviews took place.
This is not to say that old reviews are wrong, or anything like that, it's just that the population of the aggregate is alot smaller the farther back you go.
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was reviewed 80 times and had a meta of 92.The Ocarina of Time was reviewed only 22 times with a meta of 99. The Twilight Princess was reviewed 73 times with a meta of 95.
The population of the reviews is something that needs to be considered ... no doubt. It just seems that today with a more commercialized video game market, there will be more reviews. It makes sense.
I guess if you wanted to, you could just take the same 22 reviewers from the OoT and hope that they reviewed the other two games, but that would take too long.
