Again, Zelda is definitely above Smash overall, but not all Zelda games are. I wouldn't use 2009 or 4-ways to argue for exact results, but it's pretty damn clear that Wind Waker wasn't close to Melee in the Nintendo hierarchy whatever the exact distance. It's weird that you're bringing the Brawl vs. MGS4 matches up as an argument for dismissing 4-ways results though, because it's pretty simply just Brawl getting hit by LFF with TP there and yet that match is another case of Smash beating Zelda.

ALBW is tough to call, it missed 2015 completely then had two matches with possible SFF in 2020, but it was GotY here.

Saying you disrespect anyone by trying to dismiss stats is a huge stretch, I'm just saying I don't see any reason for it to have changed, if anything, the gap should be greater.
