What is going to set this game apart from its rivals isn't so much the quality which it obviously has, but quantity which the others are going to be hard pressed to touch. With the associated replay value that the series has been known to have with gamers. It is going to be a hard argument to make that a much shorter game with diminished replay value is somehow better.
I highly doubt those handing out awards are going to ignore the disparity. When Skyrim may offer up as much as say two hundred hours to gamers. Whereas Portal 2 clocks in at around twenty five, and Arkham City brings a bit over say thirty hours. Zelda may have more girth, but if the series is any indication you will probably have a total of sixty hours max, and replays don't do much to pad that either. Unlike games like Oblivion knowing what to do will really can the second or third play through of the game down dramatically.
As for Uncharted, Dark Souls, and Gears. I think their net performance in meta reviews kind of removes them out of contention. Even though two of them have more replay thinks to their online components. Anyway as that old saying goes quantity has a quality all its own.
