Which one are you picking? I’d personally go with BotW (no surprise lol), but Mario Galaxy 1+2 are enticing.

Ocarina of Time.

I was giving serious consideration to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 though (and of course the Mario Galaxy games)

Also, fun fact: Majora’s Mask is Nintendo’s highest rated User Score game on MetaCritic, sitting at 10th overall. Very much well deserved! That game is truly unlike anything else.

Twilight Princess. My second favorite game in my favorite series. So good.

Weirdly, this is easy for me, even though six of these are in my top 50 (with four in my top 20). But Breath of the Wild is just so amazing that it has a way of overshadowing the greatness of other games.

I'd pick SoulCalibur second and Super Mario Galaxy 2 third.

I'd have picked Breath of the Wild, but it wasn't an option here, so I went with Twilight Princess.

This was between Red Dead Redemption II and Super Mario Galaxy I & II, for me.
Ended up voting for Super Mario Galaxy II.

I'm not seeing Twilight Princess on the list...

None really. I prefer others rated in the 90s

BOTW is great though

You may want to re-read that list… BotW is 6th. TP is not here.
