How many other IPs have the advantage of 30 years of nostalgia? I've learned not to trust review scores on Mario or Zelda games, because even if they were bad (*coughSkywardSwordcoughcough*) they're still going to get great scores for fear of crucification. And that's not even something without evidence, as we saw what happened when Jimquisition gave a review on BotW. And while fan backlash against middling reviews isn't exclusive to Nintendo IPs, dammit it was a whole lot more intense when Zelda got a 7 than when God of War got one.

I don't believe in the "nostalgia" biaisis. BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey are two masterpieces, and the latter quickly became my favourite game of all time. And I'm saying it as a Sony fanboy.

And the Jimquisition case was special, his 7 was the reason why Zelda went from 98/100 to 97/100. 

Freaking out over review scores like this is a more of an issue of gamers in general than Nintendo fanboys.
