Well here at last, dear friends, on 31 December, comes the end of our list. I will not say do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.
| 5 - The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening |
| A game that shouldn't have been possible on a mere Gameboy. Unbeknownst to many, this game actually started many mainstays for the series. It is also much more elaborate that its 'big' console brother. The beautifully great remake on Switch proved this game is timeless, and it'll forever be. |
| 4 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island |
| Officially titled as if it is a sequel to Super Mario World, but it isn't really. If you asked me today what are the prettiest games ever made, I'd name this game as one of them. The aesthetic made it unique. Oh yeah, it's an amazing platformer as well. |
| 3 - Super Mario 64 |
| One of the most important games ever made, and still one of the greatest. The levels, the characters, the music, it is all so unbelievably memorable. The game also has what is probably the best end-game reward; I mean, who doesn't want Peach's cake? |
| 2 - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic |
| This Star Wars game is more 'Star Wars' than actual Star Wars movies, besides maybe Episode IV. Anyway, the game has awesome gameplay mechanics, just the right amount of freedom and an amazing story with probably the greatest twist ever in a video game. |
| 1 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time |
| If there's one game that is perfect, it is this game. It has everything, and everything exactly the way I want it. The mysterious vibe is thrilling, the most epic moments euphoric, the soundtrack heavenly. As it should be. |
So, that's it for me this year. I'm somewhat torn that I limited my involvement here this year, and that my write-ups haven't been more than imageless compilations like above, because this thread is a great VGC tradition. Anyway, it is what it is, who knows what the future brings. For now, everyone, I wish you a Happy New Year!
