Alright, the final five. We've made it again. These shouldn't be too hard, and thanks again to all the guessers!

5: This entry does not feature any of the franchise's main subjects; among other things, not the title character, the divine relic, and not the land itself.
4: If you don't want to hear it, "just get good", is what I would say.
3: A vague texture somewhere caused a big rumour.
2: This game explains why there's humans all across the galaxy.
1: The best game, the most objective source agrees with me.

5 - Link's Awakening

4 - Yoshi's Island

3 - Super Mario 64

Correct on all three!

Link's Awakening does not feature Zelda, Hyrule or the Triforce. It also doesn't feature Ganon (except as a 'nightmare', one of the forms of the final boss) or the Master Sword. The baby sound in Yoshi's Island is often a complaint, but personally I feel it's part of the game's charm and it never bothered me. In Mario 64 there's a texture on a statue in the courtyard where the Boo level is that kind of looks like it says "L is real", which started the rumour that Luigi is somehow somewhere in the game.

With these you can't be passed anymore, so congrats.
