Wasn't this the final or semi final or something in either the 2010 or 2012 BGE.

I haven't played AlttP so I feel like it's unfair to vote SOTN

Even though I love A Link to the Past, I'm casting my vote for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and not with much hesitation or guilt.

While the former is an excellent game, it's really just a refinement on the top-down 2D world-exploring game that came before it. It added some brilliant puzzles and mechanics and really fleshed out Link's action set, but it kind of felt like a reboot of The Legend of Zelda.

Symphony of the Night turned its whole genre on its head. It took the solid action platforming of the previous titles in the series and incorporated elements of older exploraction-RPGs like the Wonder Boy series. The result was an insane synergy that eclipsed all of its source material. The depth and sheer volume of the systems at your disposal were unprecedented—magic, transformation, tons of weapons and abilities, tons of mobility options, and then that secret last act. This is one of the all-time greats, and it's still eminently playable today (this is not all nostalgia and influence talking).

A Link to the Past is one of my favourite games of all time. I voted for it without hesitation.

If Alttp still has a decent lead before the end I might vote SotN because I like it (But didn't want to vote out Alttp because I've heard it's great even though I haven't played it)

To be fair, it's pretty great.
