That's some serious Skyrim disrespect (or BOTW respect, I guess) imo.

BotW is wildly divisive but this is still LinkFAQs. I think it'll be a major contender just on brand loyalty.

Just take BOTW and Smash out of the contest and have a gentlemans agreement the winner of the contest is 3rd behind those 2. That way we don't have to sit through paint drying i mean those 2 beating everything.

Where exactly?
Specifically among the Zelda fanbase (not just among people who are fans of the Zelda series), I get the sense paperwarior is right. That being said, I'm quite certain the proportion of GameFAQs that is specifically part of the Zelda fanbase is too small for this to matter.

Hotter take: Skyrim could easily beat Smash Ultimate, and I'm not sure what's got people so convinced of the latter's dominance in this field.

BotW isn't "wildly divisive." It has a loud minority who either don't like it or think it doesn't deserve the praise that it gets, but it's far more loved than hated.

Overwatch could theoretically get rallied to a win. It's not like that will happen, but there's at least a non-zero chance of it.

I think BotW is probably the least divisive game of the last ten years

I think Dark Souls is probably the only other one

Without tumblr (tumblr is dead, right?), I'm not sure Undertale has the ability to recapture the magic from before, but that's my best guess. How did Mario Odyssey do in GameFAQs GotY, considering it was going up against BotW?

It really doesn't deserve it, but yeah it wins.

To me it's a bit of a disappointment. There is simultaneously too much to do, and too little of consequence. I would take ocarina of Time, Majora's mask, wind waker, or twilight princess over it every time.

It has some cool physics, and a great exploration system. It is both familiar and fresh. But there is so little driving me forward. I would take a game like the Witcher, with a strong narrative giving meaning and direction to a big open world every time. Even the elder scrolls games have more meaningful content to them.

I guess it just doesn't have much magic for me even though I really enjoyed it.

SSBU wins this tournament. The finals, which will take place in late June, is far enough after BotWs release that it will lose just enough of its popularity to barely lose to SSBU, which will still be gaining popularity through its endless Fighter Pass antics.

it's the only one i can think of with legit rally support, relevance, and a strong core base.

I mean, people were talking about its rally potential in 2015, too. I think most people expect it to be a top 10 game this contest, if not top 5.

Take Two is American.
CD Projekt is worth $8 billion now, behind only Ubisoft for European companies. the Netflix release is making a constant back and forth for its Steam sales and number of players, they sold another 50 mil since October on Steam alone. Switch sales also were strong, despite the result being an eh version. the game basically has a new resurgence.
