(3)The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker vs (14)God of War II 2010

Ulti's Analysis
If you look at the final numbers of this poll, you end up looking at a fairly mundane match. Zelda failing to double a very popular game from a very popular franchise, not to mention a really low prediction percentage and God of War 2 doing pretty decent coming off of its good vote-in showing.

And then you look at the update chart. Zelda started over an insane 75% before bleeding all the way down to 64, and it didn't even recover percentage during the morning vote. This doesn't happen to Zelda games, and it was either Wind Waker not getting much respect, God of War 2 getting a lot of respect or a combination of both.

Basically, this match meant Wind Waker was screwed against the Majora/GSC winner. You just don't see main line Zelda games doing weird things like this. Normally they go out and murder souls. Wind Waker showed a lot of the old Celda hate still lingers, which meant certain trouble later.
