But my top 3 are my top 3 and that hasn't changed at all. On top of that, my top 2 is very far ahead of the rest of the games on this list, meaning no other game even came close to knocking them off their thrones. I really love these two games and they are the reason I like games as much as I do and they're kind of the gold standard for me for gaming, the standard by which all other games are measured.
Yeah I am very much the same way. On my favorite games list the first 2 or 3 are easy and obvious choices but the further down I go on the list the harder it becomes to sort the games. The first games are such obvious choices for me because, like you, I see them as being quite far ahead of the others, I like them so much that I doubt any other game will be knocking them off any time soon.

I never played this particular Zelda (my favorite is A Link To The Past), but heard it mentioned a lot when people were comparing Lighting Returns to it due to the similar time limit/mechanic.
