My favorite Zelda title against my favorite Mario title. Have to give it to WW mostly because of how awesome the HD remake was. It took a game that I already loved and made it even better.

Both are great titles and have earned their spot in this final four.

Abstaining as I haven't played SMB3 and it looks really good. Wind Waker is a great game but SMB3 could be better.

My fave Zelda vs a decent Mario game.
Decent Mario beats best Zelda every day of the week.

Artistically I feel like it's by far the best that Zelda has done. I really do. I only didn't vote for it because I'm not a big fan of the series...but I did seriously consider it just because of how well-done it is.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

The HD version makes it even better. It was definitely a bold decision. I also think it's the peak of the 3D Zelda's gameplay wise. Though some would say Mario 3 was also the peak of the 2D Mario's...

I'd rather see a less expected game win. SMB3 is always on these sorts of polls. Underdogs go.

WW is not a very underdog game in general but in this matchup i'd say so.

Voted wind Waker as I loved the game I know my vote won't help it win the round but am hoping it may push it up a few ranks to fight for the 5th place spot.
