Wow. Not only you are fanboy, you also an asshole.
Who knew those things would go together.

If people made a poll about game of the decade, Zelda would still win by a landslide.
Someone should make a poll thread . Bloodborne vs BoTW and let the bloodbath begin
I would like to see the lists you are seeing, because that is most definitely not true.

Best of the decade lists are made, well, at the end of the decade. Guaranteed recency bias.

You expect me to believe Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't objectively better than 99.9% of games ever released?
The healthy way to look at these console war bait threads. Congratulations Phendrift, you achieved it!
I don't even want to think about the thread that would ensue if era did an official GOTD vote

BOTW came out in March and was the undisputed goty of that year. The argument is invalid.
I mean, SMB3, sure. There's literally no real competition.
The rest? Eeeeeeh. OoT is a good game sure. Best of the decade? There's some stiff competition in the 90s.
Super Mario Galaxy isn't even the best mario game of the decade, nor is Metroid Prime the best Metrroid.
BotW broke the mold for Zeldas, but it wasn't a revolution. Damn fun but not GotD.

I'm so glad I don't limit myself to one platform. I like all those games, but saying some of these being "Games of the Decade" is just subjective and this thread comes off as a fanboy thread.
on second thought, i don't think the winner of the 00s is that cleat cut. there's a lot of competition from non nintendo games for that title. even so, 3 out of 4 landslide wins is very impressive still.
OP

I'm pretty sure that thread has already existed, and Zelda won.
You people really need to stop calling BOTW innovative because it was not.
It is the open world formula adapted to Zelda. It brought literally nothing new to the gaming world that hasn't been done before. It doesn't hold a candle to OoT in influence. It was a good game, but innovative? Not at all.
Eh, I don't think this means much. Otherwise a 2019 game, GOW, or RDR2 would be dominating. The first 3 are games from 2017, 2013 and 2011. There's not really a pattern there that demonstrates recency bias.

If it makes you feel better, I think Witcher 3 is the second best game of last decade, and Cyberpunk 2077 might take this.
Span of 1 year =/= span of 10 years.
It is.
Why do you think I need to feel better? About what? Also, I don't even like Witcher 3 so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Do you mean this thread where you are literally the only person who voted for BotW?
thank you OP for making this thread. it's pretty entertaining to read some people's responses, lol

What did I miss in the last couple weeks that made people start turning on Breath of the Wild?
Was it because games of the decade lists started coming out with BotW at or near the top of all of them? Are people salty about it?
I'm confused. The game seemed almost universally loved here until literally like a few days ago.

what about this one? ;)
Galaxy and Prime 1 are my favorite Nintendo games and favorite games of all time so I'll have to disagree there lol. If anything they were competing with themselves for my top two personally.
Prime 1 just didn't light up the charts enough commercially to be showered in the Retrospective praise it deserved, and the reluctance of the media to give super-acclaimed 3D platformers GOTY/D awards (as seen this decade with Galaxy 2, 3D World and Odyssey's ommision from tons of lists) probably prevented Galaxy from getting that same recognition.
Hardly innovation. We had Massive Open World RPG's long before Breath Of the Wild.
OP
OP
the game has always been universally loved by gamers and critics. there were a few salty people back then and some of them have managed to maintain that salt for nearly 3 years. the recent best of decade lists didn't help either.
If by claimed you mean critics, it's not even close.

SMB3 might have a case, but none of the others are even close*. OoT wouldn't make my top 200 in the 90's, should have at least picked something good like ALttP or Super Metroid.
*According to my opinion of course, because who really gives a shit about some critic list or review scores?

There has been absolutely zero "turning". That's why the game has dominated game of the decade lists and discussions. If you see someone hating on the game, is the folks who wanted to convince everyone the honeymoon period would end soon.
In a decade that saw:
- Minecraft (2011)
- The Witcher 3 (2015)
- Dark Souls (2011)
- Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
- The Last of Us (2013)
And others, there's just no way. BotW isn't even the best game this gen, let alone over almost an entire decade.
my games of the decades-ish
80s: pac-man, smb, smb3
90s: oot, sm64, panzer dragoon saga
00s: re4, mirror's edge, skies of arcadia
10s: undertale, 999, smg2
panzer dragoon saga feels like it was made five years ago or something. it's really good.

I guess I'd be salty too if I spent the last few years impotently trying to convince everyone that BotW is just a 2008 Ubisoft game and literally nobody agreed.
On topic, I agree with 80s and 90s, but the 2000s had way too much competition. Personally my GotD for the 2010s is Final Fantasy XIV, but I understand the BotW love.

It innovated with the world design, the way you were routed to locations without the need of a quest marker like every other open world game. It also innovated with its "chemistry" engine. Everyone else was doing physics engine, but BotW did a chemistry one too.
