All three contestants read the clue as it was intended to be read because they all wrote their answer starting with "What", now if the two contestants that lost started their answer with "Who", then we could argue that the clue was misunderstood. The credit for the losing contestants reading skills was underestimated and the credit for them knowing the full name of "The Game/Franchise" was overestimated by a lot of people.

That sucks. To be perfectly honest though, I'm not sure I would have gotten even the Zelda part right if it wasn't in the title of the video.

To everyone saying the question was badly worded: First off, no. The title princess OF THIS GAME. This is always the operative word in Jeopardy. Second off, the contestants clearly understood what response to give, since they answered WHAT is Zelda, not WHO is Zelda, so they clearly knew the title was required, not the character. They just either a) Used a shorthand, which Jeopardy never accepts, or b) didn't actually know the title of the game, but knew the name of Fitzgerald's wife. Demanding no shorthand here is especially important for catching out those for whom the latter is true, as that is not the knowledge required.

It WAS badly worded..... The title princess" was in unnecessary inclusion of which specific was aaked for, to throw everybody off. Also, MAJORITY of the times ZELDA is emphasized in explicitly large text from the subtitle, including *The Legend of* on EVERY game box. How are NON gamers going/supposed to remember so easily? Blame Nintendo for that. But not mostly.

It is kind of a BS question. It says "The title princess of this game". A lot of people would just say Zelda thinking they want the princess in the title of a particular franchise and not the entire game title itself. Also, many people referred to the game only as "Zelda" when it was just for the 8-bit Nintendo with no other sequels.

@Victor Charles a.k.a. VicGChad07 That logic (inaugural title = series name) falls apart when you consider how many series out there have a total name change for one reason or another. Nobody calls the Rambo series "The First Blood series". Nobody calls the Mana series "the Final Fantasy Adventure series". And then you've got oddities the 007 series, where not a single movie has a related title, and nobody's calling No Time to Die "Dr. No 25". Persona 5 doesn't even mention Shin Megami Tensei on its Western cover due to the Persona series now having more pull than its parent franchise. If the question alluded to being about Persona 5, but they actually wanted Shin Megami Tensei, that'd be a serious load of BS despite it technically being true. And while I'm at it, what about regional differences? What series does Final Fantasy Mystic Quest fit into? That's its American title, but in Europe it's called "Mystic Quest Legend", implying it's the sequel to Mystic Quest, which is the European name for Final Fantasy Adventure, which is the American name of Seiken Densetsu. Seiken Densetsu's sequel was released as Secret of Mana internationally, followed by Secret of Evermore, the second game in the "Secret of-" series. Except I tell a lie, because Secret of Evermore is not a sequel to Secret of Mana. It was developed by a separate team under the name of "Vex and the Mezmers", and was changed to associate itself with Secret of Mana to help sell the game. Secret of Mana was followed up by Seiken Densetsu 3, but only in Japan; and then Legend of Mana, which was just a spinoff, not the fourth game in the series, despite no clear cut reason why. Dawn of Mana was the international name for Seiken Densetsu 4. So what even is this series' name? It's "Mana", but it's a retroactive series name. Magazines at the time talked about Seiken Densetsu 3 as "Secret of Mana 2", even being referred to as such by Square's own newsletter at the time. The game eventually got a 2019 release by the name of "Trials of Mana", though it could have been completely different had it been released in the 90's. The titles of series of works of art are arbitrary and don't have to follow a strictly monolithic set of rules, because they're art. Trying to apply strict rules to the naming of such series is a fool's errand.

Easiest. Final jeopardy. Ever

I thought the solution was "Zelda" at first, then I went back, reread it, and both answers could be right, because "of this game" is a prepositional phrase modifying princess. In Jeopardy, the solution is usually worded as a question regarding either the subject or direct object of the sentence. The problem here is the second and third clause are written ambiguously as to which terms they modify in the opening clause, and the clue is about an indirect object. They should have moved the terms around more like this: "This game, which launched a best-selling franchise, features a title princess who was named for F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife."

The second clause is the confusing part, because it is not clear if it modifies the subject or the indirect object, which is bad grammar.

What is Dankey Kang?

For those who STILL think the clue was poorly written.. OK, let me give you another one: "This Sega video game franchise that debuted in 1991 spawned an animated TV series in 1993 featuring Family Matters' Jaleel White as the title character." You don't say "What is Sonic?"; you say "What is Sonic the Hedgehog?". If you say the former, NO ONE KNOWS IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE HEDGEHOG OR THE FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT OF THE SAME NAME! END OF STORY.

For the curious, this incident was where I began making "Pissed About A Question" Questions: casual viewers complain how _Jeopardy!_ messed up, and I make very special questions based on the letters. The first ever "Pissed About A Question" Question I made had the category "My Computer Has a Blinking Power Light. What Do I Do?"; the subject I openly ridiculed was Kotaku editor Jason Schreier, whose article triggered the unjust and unwarranted criticism of _Jeopardy!_ by regular Burt Reynoldses.

@@pokedude720 Kotaku still has the article up. I'd e-mailed Schreier a lengthy letter rebuking his article; of course, he reposted my letter, and in doing so moved a sentence and embedded image elsewhere despite me telling him not to do that. I would revisit the letter again while livestreaming and used the actual fonts from the _You Don't Know Jack_ games to make a question asking what the correct psychological term is for Jason answering "Zelda", getting Final Jeopardy! wrong, and losing the game.

The irony here is that the first sequel was simply called Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. But yes, those two were wrong

Andy looks like an idiot because the official title of the sequel is _The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure._ _The Legend of Zelda II,_ Andy, not _Zelda II._ Well, back to the craps table, Andy -- and, uh, hey, heads-up on that _Final Fantasy_ tour comin' through Vegas. Ah, he's so cute when he and Jason Schreier try and act smart...

When they say "The title princess of this game" They still are asking for the game's full name - they're just hinting that the name was derived from F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife.

I guess those other 2 contestants don't play video games.

To everyone saying "the question was too misleading", it's true that the question was awkwardly written. However, that isn't a bad thing. In a game like Jeopardy where the only thing that matters is brains, misunderstanding the question is a perfectly valid way to get it wrong. Besides, this isn't trivia night at the neighbors' house, this is one of the most popular game shows of all time. If those two guys knew that the game was "The Legend of Zelda", then why did they shorten it? They're on Jeopardy, they should know better.

First of all, if you people have any sense about Jeopardy, you would know that the contestants give the question and the host the answer. The question "Who is Zelda?" would not work for the answer, "The title princess of this game was named for Fitzgerald's wife." The phrases "The title" and "this game" point towards...the title of the game. Simple. Legend of Zelda.

They were asked to give the FULL NAME.

But if the question is "What is The Legend of Zelda", then the answer doesn't follow. "The Legend of Zelda" isn't the title princess of the game: "Zelda" is the title princess. "The Legend of Zelda" is the game itself. The answer should have been "This best selling franchise had its title character named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife" - then the question and answer would make logical sense.

I don't see how it's confusing, personally. They have to say "the title princess' because if they specifically say the word "Zelda" that practically gives away the correct question and makes it more like a $200 round 1 clue than a Final Jeopardy clue. And Alex even says it himself, they're looking for the name of the game/franchise (both are identical, The Legend of Zelda being the full name of the franchise and the name of the first game released in it) and not the name of the princess.

Aw come on that's fucking bullshit! They lost on a technicality.

Well the point is that they Answered off the fact that they probably based their answer on Fitzgerald's Wife - Not because they knew the game series

The answer is worded poorly but grammatical correct...family feud does this from time to time. The better way to word this would be... The title princess was named after F Scott Fitzgerald's wife in this best selling game franchise.

Atleast they knew the name they just didn’t put the full name of the franchise

Most people call it Zelda and the question was worded awkwardly, but if I was on the show I'd write The Legend of Zelda since that is the true name of the franchise.

And then Robin Williams named his daughter after the title character XD

Yeah, the question was a little confusing. I couldn't tell if they wanted the name of them game or Zelda's name either.

Mark's response on Jeopardy he answered is What is The Legend of Zelda which he is in the lead with $28,300

Read the clue. It said THIS GAME, NOT THE NAME ITSELF.

The guy looked like he was having some dark, private, personal thoughts about the Host when he dropped to $600...

To all the people that criticized the question, none of the contestants were confused. This is evident by the fact that none of them wrote "who is..." they all wrote "what is..." They just didn't know the full name of the game. They may have just been guessing based on knowing Fitzgerald's wife's name.

Honestly? Off of this clue I probably wouldn't have guess Legend of Zelda either

They really could have given that to them, but it is Jeopardy....

What is “link”

Yes, Zelda is the princess and they were asking for the name of the game, not the princess. However, people still do refer to the games as Zelda (i.e., the Zelda games, just like the Mario games from Super Mario, the Sonic games from Sonic the Hedgehog, etc.). I don't think I've ever said "I'm gonna go play the Legend of Zelda" compared to "I'm gonna go play Zelda." The other two got screwed out of the question imo. They clearly knew what franchise they were asking for.
