...in GS for the past decade

Zelda WW: 93
Zelda Minish Cap: 91
Zelda PH: 90
Zelda Spirit Tracks: 85
Zelda TP: 88
Zelda SS: 75

Total - 522

Average - 87

Still good series butI think we should hype it AA next time.

Whatever dude, solid games through and through (except for those dang DS games).

Link, he come to town, he come to save.. the Princess Zelda (lots and lots of times)

Actually, now that I think about it, it has two major games for the times they were made. ALttP and OoT were both ground breaking and widely loved, with all that critical acclaim and stuff. Two generations apart, not toooooooooo shabby.

(oh and sony is dyiing hahahaha kidding, kinda)

AA or AAA, I don't care it's just somebody else's opinion. I can think of a lot of AAA titles that aren't that great. For the most part I enjoted the Zelda games outside of maybe Phantom Hour Glass.

For sure. I'm a huge Zelda fan, they're generally great games worthy of at least contention for GOTY.

If every game didn't start off as a 7 hour tutorial, maybe it would get better scores. Zelda games are boring as hell.

That's cool.

The LoZ games are still better than 99% of whatever else has been released over the last decade, regardless of scores.

Only Zelda game with a long tutorial was SS in my opinion. I know OoT had a small one, but it wasn't bad. Besides Navi.

And why only for the last Decade huh? It would probably be AAA if you took all the games.

You do realise that GS gave Zelda SS the 3rd lowest score on metacritic?

The game got 26 PERFECT 100% scores from other publishers, Including the big boys like EDGE, IGN, Eurogamer and Game Informer.

Statistically the GS score is an outlier and shouldnt be considered in determining its quality.

D1zzyCriminal

even if you give SS a 90, the average is still less than 90.

So yeah, Zelda is now an AA franchise in GS.

Should be lower to be honest, considering PH and ST are just straight terrible games.

But yeah, Zelda is still the greatest running franchise right now and I couldn't care less what GS thinks of SS.

You know your argument is lacking when you need a joke of a review in Tom McShea's review to make your point edit: and Spirit Tracks got a 8.5 that along with the 7.5 score shows you why nobody trust gamespot unless its for some kind of system wars argument..

No argument here, really. SW goes by gs scores. So he's right, even if the game gets perfect scores all over the place.

A 90 in SS would still make the average less than 90.

You can use MC scores if you want. But TP got 9.5-9.6 there. And people agree its one of the worst 3D console Zeldas.

It may be one of the weakest console Zelda games, but its was still one of the best games of last generation. I think that says more than what you're trying to say.

In MC, OoT>TP=WW>MM>SS. I think alot of Zelda fans would disagree with this.

More proof?

Zelda:OoT 3DS, 9.2(yeah, a remake/port of a N64 game in a hardware as strong astheWii is scoringAAA -_-)
Zelda:Four Swords, 8.6 (a half baked Zelda game scoring a high AA)

But this is not the thread for this so I'll leave it at that.
