Here are our GOTYs for each year:

2010: Mass Effect 2 (runner up: Super Mario Galaxy 2)
2011: Skyrim (runner up: Skyward Sword)
2012: Borderlands 2 (runner up: Xenoblade Chronicles)
2013: A Link Between Worlds (runner up: The Last of Us)
2014: Super Smash Bros for 3DS/Wii U (runner up: Dragon Age Inquisition)
2015: The Witcher 3 (runner up: Fallout 4)
2016: Final Fantasy XV (runner up: Pokemon Sun/Moon)

Looks like it with that as its main competition. Also man that is a lot of RPGs.

Probably something from 2019 wins.

The only thing I could see challenging it is Skyrim.

If no rallies probably because Zeldafaqs though some people might pick it as the "dark horse"

We'll see how popular it truly is.

Nintendo fans have a way of grossly overstating how popular their favorites are among the larger audience. Not that it isn't the biggest Zelda in a long time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was only Wind Waker level.

How do you think Super Smash Bros for Switch/Wii U/3DS would do?

It might only need to be that level to win on a site like this though. Outside of big rallying Zelda (in a final anyways) hasn't lost a contest in a long time I think. Like maybe since the last time VII actually won?

I made this topic without rallying in mind. However, if you want to include it go ahead.

Also BotW has definitely hit big with the general audience. It dominated E3 talk, got a huge attach rate on a big console launch, is the top rated game of the year and a big seller. No overstatements needed.

Anyway, if we want to talk rallies, I want to see the Dark Souls rally.

Unlike the Switch dies a swift death, I don't think Breath of the Wild is going to be like Mario Galaxy here, as a game with rave reviews but only mid-tier strength.

given that link between worlds beat last of us, a popular, system-selling zelda feels like a shoo-in on this website

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Wind Waker would probably win a GOTD contest if it was in BOTW's place
