Yeah, I would call Zelda an A-level for reasons Milky said.

Endless ocean should be C or D tier. Add that one.

Also, you might want to consider wave race and 1080 for this list. If you put f zero there those should be there too.

I put in F-Zero because it's been hinted that there will be a sequel.

F-Zero Virtual console release, Nintyland minigame. Falcon was big enough to always be in SSB so I have a feeling he's not "dead" status yet.

But i'll add in Endless ocean.

There's definitely an argument that Zelda is in the wrong place.

Based on individual platform releases, there's 3 games with over five million sales, but when you add in ports and remakes, and consider it cumulatively, that number increases.

A Link to the Past and Zelda II both jump above the threshold, as will Wind Waker later this year (the remake is going to sell more than 400k). That basically just leaves Majora and SS as the only home console releases not to hit the threshold.


Remember, it's based on CURRENT sales potential. So we have to off by the latest title/known upcoming title.

Now I think that Zelda U will sell 5 million easy, but who knows, we might get another WW on our hands where the fans rage about it.

Right, but if you rewind 7 years, prior to the release of Twilight Princess, you'd be able to say that it had little to no potential to sell as well as it did on the back of the performance of both Majora and WW, and that it would probably be another 3-4million seller.

For now I'll leave it at B. We need to see the next Zelda 1st before we can make any changes.

I would put Animal Crossing in S-Tier

New Leaf will definitely hit 10 Million IMO.

I spilit the Pokemon franchises as they are spin-offs rather than part of a main series.

AC however, can't really be seperated into a Console and Handheld franchise. Will be placed in S-tier if NA numbers for AC to rise.

Why just if NA sales rise? If it sells 10 Million WW it is S-Tier according to your OP. You based it off potential too, AC has a ton IMO. Judging from your sig, you don't see it. I'm assuming that's why it's A-Tier.
