BOTTOM 512 — Week 3 — Poll 5

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

*Sigh* another so-so Zelda to the next round, I suppose.

I’ve played neither so I can’t weigh in here…
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

I mean, I guess even the worst Zeldas (which Phantom Hourglass is) are so-so.

Seems wild that one of the worst Zeldas would get past a unique original property, but here we are. The population of people who played and enjoyed NMH has migrated deep into the west.

Makes me sad one of my favourite Zelda games seems to get so much hate. It's a really fun take on the series and feel it deserves to be this high in the rankings.

The DS Zelda games were mildly fun but forgettable. Vastly outclassed by hundreds of better DS games and even far outclassed by most other Zelda titles.

NMH was a lot of fun and something a bit different. I remember watching the initial reveal and getting quite hyped for the game.
