(2)The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask vs (15)Valkyria Chronicles 2015

Ulti's Analysis
Valkyria Chronicles is one of those games KP has told me to play that I haven't gotten around to yet, so obviously it's a 10/10 title that I'll gush over for years and years once I finally play the game. KP is a boss like that.

The problem is it was up against Majora's Mask in round 1, so it was destined to get its ass handed to it immediately in this contest. Seeded tournaments do need their 15 and 16 seeds, after all, so it is what it is. I suppose 24% on Majora's Mask isn't that bad given this is the Game of the Decade we're talking about, but it's not like "massive blowout" is all that much ahead of "legendary blowout".

Majora's Mask's placement in this bracket was just a crime, by the way. Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina all got their own "I'm the only Zelda in here" division, yet Majora's Mask and Link to the Past have to be paired up? Man. If this was done to prevent all the Zelda games from rolling over the bracket then cool, but why give 3 of the games their own division then? It seemed obvious we would get a pointless LTTP > Majora division final, when Majora probably could have had a Final Four run elsewhere.

Not that the journey wouldn't be really interesting anyway, but we'll get to that.
