I don't like Minecraft nor do I believe it should be on the any critical acclaimed list, I'm just saying your complaints can easily be applied to more typical inclusions. It's more obvious as older games have plenty of problems that stem from limitations of that age and technology.

Yes, but then again those can be argued. Let me use an example with Ocarina Of Time. World class orchestras have put on shows with their music, (Z) lock on targeting revolutionized the way 3D games are played, it was one of the first full 3D open world adventure games ever, It's story is considered timeless and one of the best in gaming.

Only the last can be argued, but still it is widely considered true.

Minecraft has...... Popularity... Clones.... As I said, but so does Flappy Birds, and toaster simulator.

Yeah, not only can it be argued, I wasn't aware people praised Zelda for its story. That's not why people play or like Ocarina of Time. Your music point is a result of popularity. Every game can be beaten down if you want to nitpick enough.

Considering the unquestioned love OOT receives on almost every list, that's not what I'd complain about.

I think of it like this, Minecraft is on the list for a lot of the same reasons that Pokemon makes these lists. Neither are very deserving on their own merits, but get there based on their cultural impact.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Well whoop-de-freaking-do a soundtrack, great. Nier has a brilliant soundtrack as well, I guess that should be at the top of the list as well.

Nier should be at the top ten of any videogame lists.

OOT, hell yeah they played it for the story. Shiek being Zelda blew peoples MINDS!

*Edit* Oh, and you can argue that orchestras have only performed LoZ tracks due to popularity, but there are more popular series, and more popular soundtracks than LoZ. Either way though, what can't be argued is that orchestras DO perform music from the LoZ.
