Well, Kingdom Hearts was crushed by The Legend of Zelda. Zelda took 75% of the vote. Poor Sora, Donald, and Goofy. I guess this wasn’t a good place to find ingredients.
So, now we’re on to the final match-up- Marvel VS The Legend of Zelda. And I think we’ve honestly gotten to a point where most arguments that could be made for either have been made. So, in the spirit of mixing things up for a finale, here instead is a pros and cons list for both series. Let’s see what you think.

Really, there you have it. Both franchise are consistent in their quality. Marvel has done more things wrong, but have also done more things right. Think of something you’d like to add to the list? Leave a comment or send me a message, I’ll probably add it.
I can’t wait to see how you guys vote. Once the vote is done (likely to be Monday), I’ll post the results along with a bracket of how I would have voted. It’ll be fun. So, without further ado…
