Then all Nintendo games would score this high.

Hint: they don't. 

The remake of the most overrated game of all time only has a user score of 8.8. Can you guess which game? Of course you can. 


Hmmmm. Tetris?

Ocarina of Time. Which on every Zelda top ten gets number one. Even worse it gets number one all the time on best video game ever lists as well. 

It's a good game, but it's not even the best Zelda game. All future Zelda games have improved upon Ocarina of Time (haven't played MM though). In fact, Ocarina of Time isn't even the best Ocarina of Time! Twlight Princess is!  

I know that's what you'd say, I'm just messing with you.

Honestly, I dont think OoT is that overrated, and it's not even in my top 4 for Zelda games. 

That means you have a good opinion! :p 

Out of curiosity what is your top 3? (going off-topic in my own thread lol)

3) Spirit Tracks

2) Minish Cap

1) Majora's Mask

 

(I havent played any console Zelda since MM due to not having the console)

 

Honestly, I can completely understand OoT being the best to many, even if it's not my favourite.

Well, I'll give you a pass since you haven't played any console Zelda's since! 

My favorite is probably A Link between Worlds (if you have a 3ds or plan to own one, get this) or Twilight Princess.

Never trust user reviews on any website. Probably just fanboys who haven't actually played the game yet.

Or the 4 people who gave it a zero after reading this thread. I trust those less than a 10/10 for what seems like a fun game. ;)

True. Just look at the reviews for Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. There's a lot of 10's and 0's given the day it was released.

Ive heard people say that 2D Zeldas are usually more interesting than 3D Zeldas anyways. I will get ALBW whenever I can afford to buy a 3DS definitely. I try to play any Zelda game I get access to. I need to finish them all though, something always stops me near the end.

10 = probably voting on party line
0 = hater

I don't think that makes the average user rating score very useful.

Anyway, there are about an even number of titles rated higher by users, than not.

SM3DW critic 93 user 9.0

Smash critic 92 9.0

Bayonetta critic 91 user 9.1 

MK8 critic 88 user 9.1

LOZ WW HD critic 90 user 8.9

Pikmin 3 critic 87 user 8.6

Donkey Kong critic 83 user 8.8

Toad critic 80 user 8.8

Wonderful 101 critic 78 user 8.5

Nintendo Land critic 77 user 7.8

Hyrule Warriors critic 75 user 8.3

Add a dash of salt and you get the final ingredient to the post you just made! Congratz!

OT it has 44 reviews...Oh and it's an 8.8 right now. It'll go down even more once more people review the game.

Yes, most of these 0/10s came right after I made this thread though. ;) It would still be high if I hadn't pointed it out.
