Right, which is why I said he shouldn't have included 3 Zelda games ... I mean at least try to add some more 3rd parties, most of thes are Nintendo. 

But when he first made the polls, people were complaining about the lack of Nintendo games (if there's only one Nintendo game on the list, it's a very easy win for that game, since all Nintendo fans vote for it).

And the thing with Zelda is, the franchise is so diverse and most of the games are of very high quality.

I'm glad someone noticed. I was pushed to include more Nintendo, and these polls are for the community, not me.

That's because Nintendo makes the best games ever!

With that statement, you are on the right site!

I already mentioned which would be my winner.

My top 5 as I've entered them in the end-of-the-year threads is;
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
3. Super Mario 64
4. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
5. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Seems Nintendo-heavy, but the whole list was about 60/40 (or well, I guess 30/20 since there are 50 games) in favor of non-Nintendo games. It's just that their top games are so brilliant. Also it's funny that your polls only have one game from my top 5, my top 10 even, the winner.

I almost included Yoshis Island. Maybe next time.

Witcher 3 should have made this poll...

Anyway, it amazes me to see such old games make this list. That's like saying a Ford Model A is a better car than a Bugatti Veyron. Sure, they might have more retro appeal, be a lot of fun and bring back good memories, but technically speaking newer games are better games.

Incorrect. Technology is better, but older games were often more creative, challenging, and the 2D hand drawn art had charm that polygons lack. Of course there are newer games that are better than older games too, but this is on a case by case basis.
