5. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Average Score: 95

Now remember, this is the GBA version, because Metacritic is still BALLZ. I know some people out there love this game and think it is the best Zelda ever! But not me :)

You are as wrong as Metacritic then :P

I'm currently playing A Link to the Past. Anyone that thinks this is better than A Link between Worlds is blinded by nostalgia. The movement in this game somehow feels very archaic compared to ALBW. Not a bad game by any means though. 

So we're judging old games by today's standards now?

As it should. ALBW has much more interesting dungeon designs, that is only partially due to increased hardware (I don't think the wall painting mechanic would've worked on SNES). 

I personally wouldn't do that. I do not compare old with today standards on anything. No one would think to have that on the SNES. To do that would require owning the Mario Paint mouse.
