I know you cannot do a quality speed run in 7 hours which applies to both games too. To get the most out of what those games offer you have to take your time, and I never said the guy hated the game I'm just showing it can be done in 7 hours, I seen it done in under 4 hours on youtube. 

On to arbitrary, this whole thread is based on personal preference (and therefore arbitrary). I am only showing statistically people prefer the games involving younger Link than older Link. 

The guy said he hated the game => he isn't a speedrunner. Which is why I was I didn't mention the 3.5 hour speed runners on youtube and why it was so ridiculous for him to say he beat the game in 7 hours to review it. 

Also, you showed two games, one of which has adult link in it (OoT) in addition to child link.

Let's use your same methodology to compare Windwaker and Twilight Princess. 

http://www.metacritic.com/game/gamecube/the-legend-of-zelda-the-wind-waker (8.9)

or A Link Between Worlds and Twilight Princess

http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-between-worlds (9.0)

or Majora's Mask

http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/the-legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask (9.2) 

If anything, what these scores show me (statistically) is that people who don't like the games are less likely to review older games, because they're less likely to play it. That is why OoT 3DS has such a lower User Score than OoT N64, despite being the superior version. 


They didn't like Windwaker's design nothing new about that, and still can only be speculatory. 

So the guy didn't like TP, point still remains. 

3D OOT is a remake (remakes always get lower scores) people didn't ask for that made changes that were unnecessary. (Same with Wind Waker, got a 90 where the other got a 96)

We could also look at the numbers for Skyward Sword (7.9).

All your points seem to be arbitrary as well. Even so, what it proves is if you take the worst score for young Link (8.9) and adult Link (7.9) as well as the best scores for young Link (9.3) versus the best score for adult Link (9.2) people still statistically like young Link games better.
