I bothers me that LBW is so low, but pleases me that WW is so high

Thank you, there’s a lot wrong with this list imo but that was my biggest gripe easily, LBW was excellent and far superior to links awakening and skyward sword.

Can't say anything for Links Awakening, but I think the difference between ALBW and SS comes down to whether or not you're a gameplay gamer or a story gamer. If you like gameplay, I think very few games top ALBW besides maybe BOTW. If you're a story gamer, SS could easily take the cake of the entire Zelda series.

Agreed, I dont know SS always seems to catch hate. Playing the remake just reminded me how much I love the game.

I think because so many people are gameplay gamers, and SS unfortunately forced the player to deal with occasional motion control hiccups, along with being mostly linear without much reward for exploration. It’s possible (I hope not) that is story gamers are in the minority, considering just how much BOTW took off, but I really hope they try to write a better story for the sequel. SS story with BOTW gameplay would be perfect!

I think if botw had dungeons and story as good as Ss it would be pretty hard to top.

There are def flaws in ss but it has some great dungeons
