In hindsight, a justified score.
The shitty part was rating the GC version 8.9, docking points because the Wii version was better. That kind of confirmed for me that Gerstmann's motivation was rage bait the whole time. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro ... Copied to Clipboard!

What exactly made Twilight Princess bad? Literally updated Ocarina of Time. You guys got what you wanted. TP as hated for being too similar. Wind Waker was hated for being too different. now we have Breath of the Wild which doesn't play like a Zelda game at all and it's the best selling Zelda game of all time.

Historically, the Nintendo fans have always been the loudest, whiniest part of the userbase on this site

In hindsight, a justified score. Not even hindsight tbh Plenty of people thought it was a reasonable score.
