What are you talking about, "2005"? There was no 2005 Games Contest. Not counting this one where a bunch of franchises can claim "victory", Zelda has still won 3 out of 5 non-character contests, losing the first Games Contest to FF7 and the third to Undertale while OoT took the second, the franchise as a whole took the series contest in 2006, and Majora's Mask took Game of the Decade.



https://www.gamefaqs.com/features/10year = FF7 won

And the post I was replying to was discussing OoT, not the Zelda franchise in general, so I'm not sure how the Series contest or 2010 GoTD is relevant when OoT wasn't involved in those.

The fact remains there have been 4 Best Game Ever Contests on this site that OoT has participated in and it has won only 1 title.

anyway I wouldn't expect any game to beat OoT 1 on 1 - CT has a chance but I'll believe it when I see it


I wouldn't EXPECT anything to beat OoT, it would be favored for sure, but an early round CT vs OoT, late round Melee vs OoT, and any round RBY vs OoT would all be things I would be interested in seeing in a contest so I don't agree that having OoT in the draw of any tournament is "pointless"

Not sure I see the point in any contest with OoT somehow involved anymore Everyone knows it's going to win everytime, there's no excitement about it.

The only exception is ridiculous outside interference rallies for some flavor of the month game, which most people complain about and aren't happy with anyway. So it's a lose-lose.


This a commonly repeated narrative on these boards, but it isn't true. While Link has dominated the character battles (taking 6 of 9 titles + rivalry rumble), OoT has only won a grand total of 1 of the 4 games contests in site history.

04: FF7
05: FF7
09: OoT
15: Undertale

What we saw from the 2015 BGE results suggests there is definitely a chance for CT and/or RBY to defeat OoT in a future contest on natural strength alone, and that Melee is uniquely positioned as a game with tier 2 natural strength + has the ability to muster enough of a rally with consistent staying power to always be considered a threat as well.

This reminds me of my situation when I graduated high school back in 2008.

Not the same scenario, but I was named Salutatorian somewhat unfairly as well. The system set up by the school was a bit stupid in that it punished you for taking electives over not taking classes at all due to AP class weights.

Example Senior Semester:

Me:
AP Calculus - A: 5.0
AP Biology- A: 5.0
AP English - A: 5.0
AP Government - A: 5.0
AP French - A: 5.0
AP Computer Science - A: 5.0
Photography - A: 4.0

GPA: 4.85

Girl who was Valedictorian:
AP Calculus - A: 5.0
AP Biology- A: 5.0
AP English - B+: 4.5
AP Government - A: 5.0
AP French - A: 5.0

GPA: 4.90

So I took more classes and got better grades, but had a lower GPA. My friends and family told me to speak to news stations and such at the time like this girl Allyson did to try to get the system changed.

While I thought it was BS, I didn't do anything about it because it didn't really matter since both Valedictorian and Salutatorian got to speak at graduation and there were no scholarships that made a distinction between #1 and #2, as the most exclusive were top 1% (which in my class of 405 would mean top 4 all qualified).

1995 might not win, but it has put up a hell of a fight. None of us that took it made stupid choice, especially if the current results hold.


By that logic 87>95 wasn't a bad choice either

I could have sworn that 2005 was the Guru favorite. Man...


How early did you get your bracket in? 05 was the Guru fav early on, but 03 became it later. Figured it made for a decent upset pick anyways. There goes bracket.

FYI: I have the same bracket as you so I was rooting for you to take the Guru lol

Interesting note about the 00-96 match tomorrow. Looking at guru picks by percentage in the format 96-00-other:

96 is the over-all guru fav: 54%-43%-3%
00 though is actually favored among the perfects+minus-1 brackets: 43%-57%-0%
