Poll Is, The Legend of Zelda the most critically acclaimed gaming series? (40 votes)

Yes 58%
No 15%
I guess, overrated though 28%

I find insane that Zelda has won 4 goty awards here at Gamespot, but that holds almost true for a lot of publications which have awarded the series near perfect scores.

Whether we like it or not, is Zelda, The Godfather of gaming?

Of course it is. Only an non-Nintendo insane fanboy would say otherwise.

It is, though a lot of times (similar to Final Fantasy), I feel the praise is crazy undue.

But damn, when the series is on, it's really on.

@Pedro: It’s Zelda. Higher scores and average.

Zelda is the most overrated trash of all time.

Those games objectively are bad as I have pointed out a million times before. We already have confirmed that Nintendo only gets high scores because “it’s best for business”.

Nintendo is like Disney. They will blacklist anyone who gives them low scores. Nintendo fanboys(who drive most internet traffic) will disown your website and flock to another if they get low scores.

You will NEVER see an honest review for a Zelda game. The Nintendo fanboys almost killed gamespot when Zelda ONLY got an 8.8.

It’s insane. You can’t trust any of the reviews for Nintendo games because they only have 9.5-10 scale.

It is so painfully obvious to anyone who is not a Nintendo fanboy.

And yes we have confirmed the entire industry talks to each other and they decide what narrative to push. They all have an agreement to overrate Zelda and Mario no matter what even if they don’t like it.

It is. Deserved? Debatable.

Up until Breath Of The Wild the combat has been borderline pointless. As are the majority of hart upgrades, as practically every area obligatory gives you repawning harts anyway. Going through the motions of and over of NPC give item by about to 200th game gets old.

Likewise, can we really say this is 99% game? It makes Xen look like a comparative masterpiece.

In fact if you go back in boot up Ocarina Of Time up, after the first short, introduce Deku Tree dungeon, the next hour at least is farting about running from point A to B getting X item deliberately trying to get you to run from one end of the map to the other.

What fun.

People keep ignoring that the Illuminati love Nintendo and pays for each review so that they can control the world. Totally overrated series.

I guess we can say objectively it is. I personally disgaree with it and think it's overrated, but that's just my taste in games. I only really liked the gameboy versions and now BotW which I love. I do own most of them, but usually got bored within a few hours.

Up until the early 2000's I would have made the debate that the Final Fantasy series might have been better. But after this years game, it's hard to debate any series has had a more lasting impact than the Zelda series.

You sound like a moany old grandpa. The games are amazing, deal with it. You don't like it? Go play something else. A conspiracy amongst all reviewers, from all countries to push and overrate Zelda and Mario is laughable, I think you need medical help.

Most critically acclaimed? That is up for debate; however, it's definitely among the most iconic and celebrated.

no, it's praise is deserved largely, but yeah, when everybody hypes up something it can leave those who stumble upon it later feel like they were mislead
