Best Nintendo games of all time
Nintendo has spent decades crafting worlds, characters, and gameplay that shape childhoods and fuel arguments among gamers of every generation. From Mario's first jump to Link's latest quest, the debate over which title truly stands above the rest is as fierce as any boss battle. Now it's your turn to weigh in — cast your vote and help crown the greatest Nintendo game of all time.
What counts: Seeded with approximate figures where shown — the crowd's votes decide the order.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time▲ Rising
The moment you stepped out of the Kokiri Forest into Hyrule Field, gaming got a horizon it never had before, and the click of a lock-on target reinvented 3D combat overnight. Its time-travel structure, Water Temple dread, and that ocarina soundtrack turned a tech demo into mythology, and three decades of "best game ever" debates still start here.},{

Exactly the kind of argument the internet was built for.
The crowd is sleeping on the bottom half of this list.

This order is closer to right than any editor would've gotten.
Voted — and the gap between #1 and #2 should be bigger.
