The Legend of Zelda
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
The original open-exploration adventure where hidden secrets and dungeon knowledge are everything.
Dino Crisis 2 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); The Legend of Zelda leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
