  • I'm almost positive it's only a matter of time until it becomes #1. BotW is incredible, and really "incredible" isn't even a strong enough word to describe it.

    I will say though that apparently I need to go back and play Twilight Princess. I completely missed it and never even realized how popular it actually was.
