Conclusion

According to our study, the Nintendo 64 era was the peak of the franchise with 42% of Century students preferring Ocarina of Time.

However, our hypothesis was not able to be proved due to the fact our questions did not relate closely enough to just the Nintendo 64 era.

How Our Survey Could be Improved

Question 6, "Which game genres do you enjoy the most?" was a typo and meant to be singular "genre"
Some selected more than one answer for both question 6 and 10
Survey more people to have more accurate data
Ask more applicable question to our hypothesis
