Since when is Link to The Past the only Zelda game ever made? Or do they have a meaning I don't get?
What is IGN talking about?
maybe they meant the only good game every made... I dunno. I don't play much zelda.
yeah, you can kinda tell 
Another game in the Zelda series has been rated the best game ever for the past 7 years running, so I doubt he was saying that..
Uh... it's pretty obvious. IGN is saying that Link to the Past established the Zelda formula that has been used in all games since, thus, the only Zelda game ever made, in that there aren't variants to the design it established.
It's called a hyperbolic metaphor.
Yeah, I guess you could think of it as Link to the Past is Zelda 1.0, and then Ocarina of Time is like Zelda 1.4.
Hyperbolic Metaphor? Are you sure it's not called a mistake?
No, I figured they wouldn't be dumb enough to leave that up, but I really couldn't understand what they were trying to say.
