Glad that DD Dark Arisen got some love. I hesitated buying it because, thematically, it looked very generic. It was, but it ended up being one of the funnest games I've played in years.
Somehow, I think they knew that a hit-squad exists that bumps off anyone who doesn't put Ocarina of Time into their top 2. Ocarina of Time is a slightly-above-average Zelda game. Just because some people grew their first pube around the time that OoT came out, doesn't make it a great game, though admittedly it's not near the bottom either. Of the 3D Zeldas, Windwaker (the true #1), Majora's Mask (a close 2nd), Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword are all better games (and in that order).
Also, when I tried to go through my top 10 in my head, I could not, in good conscience, compare the 2D and 3D Zelda games. They each fill such a different void for me. However, I did find OoT more fun than most of the 2D games, with Link to the Past being the notable exception.
As far 2D Zelda games are concerned, I think they ranked them perfectly.
TVs will always provide limitations on consoles but I'll always go with framerate over resolution/bells-and-whistles. Playing games at 144fps on medium PC settings will always look better to me than 30fps on ultra settings. Graphics always lose their novelty -- and often fast -- but a smooth framerate never gets old. In some magical world where we could have unlimited fps on consoles, I'd be very excited for PS4 Pro. But if the benefits are only 4k and HDR, it's hard to care. Seeing Bloodborne running at 60fps may change my mind though.
Couldn't agree more. 1080p at 144fps > 4k at 60fps.
Considering I can buy a modded Wii from some shady dude on craigslist that has every single nes, snes, gameboy, TB16, master system, genesis, and gamegear game every made for the same price...I think I'll pass.
