I hope the mods are keeping an eye on this, don't want it getting ugly
The response to this “bad” ranking is pretty funny, but I'm honestly glad to not be alone leaving Zelda off my all-time list. The closing sentiment here is pretty insert credity too “make lists that are personal and idiosyncratic”

@“deepspacefine”#p106843 I‘ve been trying to read the article the list originally came from for like two days now but neither of my usual ways of getting around paywalls have been working. I just want to see what’s on the list.
Shark! Shark! has a great name, thank you very much
@“deepspacefine”#p106843 Yeah, I like Zelda but I wouldn‘t go out of my way to make sure I included it on a list. Link’s Awakening would probably get grandfathered in since it was a formative game for me, but apart from that I think the Zeldas are B+ to C- games that I would probably rank below stuff like Ring Fit Adventure on my personal list.
Except Cadence of Hyrule, that game ruled (but still probably not top 20)
Games I enjoy more than the average Zelda game:
@“Tradegood”#p106877 you dont have time for all that shit play zelda
@“IncompatibleKaiser”#p106878 only if they bring back that hot shark
Lists I think it would be cool if people made:
Games to play in the middle of the afternoon
Games that feel similar to preparing and drinking a cup of coffee
Games that feel like making lists
Games that don't want to be games but are
Games that have been eaten to the point of extinction
@“Mnemogenic”#p106902
Off the top of my head
Middle of the Afternoon: Panel de Pom
Preparing and Drinking a Cup of Coffee: Dragon Quest Builders
Making Lists: Pokemon
Don't Want to Be a Game: Brain Age
Eaten to Extinction: any physical cart from 2004 and before 😤

3) Super Mario Odyssey
2) The Last of Us 1 & 2
1) Portal 1 & 2
A powerfully boring list, which isn't at all surprising, but its hardly worth being upset about.
I like seeing Portal 1 at the top spot. Even if it's cowardly paired with Portal 2. Portal 1 is great, sure it might be the best game ever. Go for it.
EDIT: They sure had a whole lot of nothing to say about it though.
the games themselves are whatever who cares but I would think the jury of experts would have had more to say
@“captain”#p106951 Thank you!
Yeah I don't get why people would call this list the worst. Maybe the safest or like least interesting but these are all common consensus picks...except for Sonic Adventure 2 which is the best inclusion on this list.

For real. It's profoundly boring overall, but the Sonic Adventure 2 thing seems to almost suggest _some_ taste. Tetris being 4, right below Super Mario Odyssey and above Bioshock, is also hilarious.
Bioshock? Uncharted? Skyrim? Ok now i'm mad they didn't include zelda
Top 10 gamiest games.
@“kory”#p106582 this a great idea! My one suggestion: I mistakenly read “Barely scratched the surface” as “Bravely scratched the surface”, so you should change it to that lol
----
Split my list off so kory doesn't keep getting notifications when I add to it!
Bravely defaulted the surface layer
