I had 25 of the top 100 on my list.
8 of the top 10, just missing LTTP and Super Metroid.
11 of the top 20
So, somewhere between basic and peculiar. Really surprised at Wind Waker over Ocarina, Super Mario Galaxy 1 over 2, Brawl over Melee, Astral Chain over Bayonetta, Goldeneye on the list (great for its time, has not aged well), and that people liked Final Fantasy 8 or 12.

When I think about Wind Waker over Ocarina, or Brawl over Melee. I think it comes down to demographic switch. Eventually older games in the 90s, early 2000s will feel underappreciated. Younger people will feel nostalgia for 2000s games over 90s/ early 2000s.

I think a lot of people have a bias towards games from during their youth, and my list certainly has that. It just surprised me with those two entries in particular. Brawl because its sequels are so plainly superior (except for the single player mode maybe). I was surprised at Wind Waker over Ocarina, because of how beloved Ocarina is, and more importantly, because I misread the chart, and Ocarina is actually above Wind Waker. Surprisingly close though.
