It's not. The overwhelming majority of women who waste time in their 20s come to realize that high value men are all taken by modest, high value women and that they should have settled down far sooner. I don't blame women for this, either. They're being fed a massive number of lies by our culture right now. But the story always ends the same way.

Division 1 Quarterfinal: (1)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs (8)Halo: Reach

(1)Breath of the Wild - 22268 [84.86%]
(8)Halo: Reach - 3972 [15.14%]
Total Votes - 26240
Prediction Percentage - 90.96%

Zelda scoring an absurd blowout in round one was predictable. Doing the same in round 2 is some pretty rarified air. Since lists are fun, here is everything that's broken 80% in the first two rounds.

-Mega Man in Summer 2002 over Ms. Pac-Man and Serious Sam. The blue bomber broke 90% twice, which is a record that is never getting matched.
-Link in Summer 2003 over AiAi and Fox.
-Sephiroth in 2003 over Raziel and Max Payne.
-Zelda 1 in Spring 2004 over Adventure and Donkey Kong.
-Final Fantasy 7 in Spring 2004 over Suikoden 2 and Xenogears.
-Link in Summer 2004 over CATS and Ganondorf.
-Cloud in Summer 2004 over Duke Nukem and Vyse.
-Samus in Summer 2004 over Lara Croft and Sam Fisher. (God the Summer 2004 Contest sucked.)
-Mario in Summer 2005 over Joanna Dark and Ness.
-Zelda over Civilization and Mega Man X in the series contest. This one broke 80% in round 3 against Metroid, too.
-Mario over Madden and Warcraft in the series contest.
-Mario and Bowser over Earthworm Jim/Slug and Ike/Black Knight in that godawful rivalry rumble.
-Link and Ganondorf over Arthas/Illidan and Amaterasu/Orochi in the rivalry rumble.
-Chrono Trigger over Ratchet & Clank 3 and Dragon Quest 8 in Fall 2015.
-1998 isn't in this club, technically, because it broke 80% in rounds 1 and 3 over 1993 and 2003. In round 2, it did not break 80% on 1992. Just typing this sentence is ridiculous because that contest was awful.

That's the entire list, and it gets far more exclusive once we discuss round 3. It's pretty rarified air to get 80% twice in a row, and almost impossible to do it three times in a row. We all expected Zelda to go crazy here, but not ''this'' crazy. The oracle consensus undershot this match by 4%, and who can blame them? 85% in round 2 is insane, and this match really brought home how dominant a favorite Breath of the Wild was. It was around here where people realized that even a CD Projekt Red rally in the final might not slow this thing down at all. Halo pulled off a cute win in round 1, but that's all it was. Nice to know you, bro.

We've compared Zelda to a lot of things over the years -- my favorite comparison is the New England Patriots, because beating them feels like divine intervention -- but I found the best comparison yet. I finally got around to watching No Country For Old Men, and Zelda in these contests is Anton Chigurh -- a dominant, cold, ruthless killer that just does ''not'' care about anything other than the mission. You never really get the better of Zelda. You can only delay the inevitable if you're in the crosshairs.

But Zelda is a fair assassin. It's not undefeated. It just ''feels'' undefeated.

"Call it."
