Already crowning the GotYs of 1996 and 1998, are ya? Tut tut! ;)

But really, I think there are actually a lot of people who favour the SMW and ALttP over SM64 and OoT. Add to that, the fact that Mario and Zelda are vastly more popular than Doom on forums like these and I could see them both beating it in the Game of the Decade poll

Ofc looking at my profile pic and you know which game I'll be supporting ;P

Actually, I am not sure about 1996, because there is more than one strong contender that year.  I would bet money on the winner of 1998 though, and I haven't even played the game.

Oh that's interesting. I take the opposite approach. I would bet money on Super Mario 64 taking 1996, but I'm less convinced Ocarina will take 1998. That's not because it's less beloved. It's more about the stiff competition from 1998: StarCraft, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Banjo-Kazooie, Grim Fandango, etc.
