It’s unofficially official: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the greatest videogame every made, at least according to Game Informer fans.

The games site held an elimination style survey, allowing readers to vote for what they think is the greatest game ever; with the seminal Nintendo 64 game coming out on top.

It’s just one more of many lists that the fantastic Ocarina of Time has topped, and there will probably be many more, but, unsurprisingly, not everyone agreed. There were comments about what games weren’t on the list, and did so and so deserve to beat this and that, but that’s no more than the ebb and flow of such conversations—ranking games isn’t a purely objective pursuit.

What do you think though? Should Ocarina of Time be the king of the mountain? For me, I think the Zelda classic is more than a worthy winner of any best of games list.

Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Playing through Star Ocean: First Departure R.
