Unless this game moves up a few points, I don't think it'll get the majority of GOTYs. Zelda U should be releasing this year, and even Skyward Sword has a 93 meta-critic. An open-world Zelda game is guaranteed 93+. Windwaker (95), TP(95/96), SS (93), Majora's Mask (95 on N64), and of course Ocarina of Time (99) all have 93 or above scores.

If metacritic decided GOTY then Shadow of Mordor (84) and Dragon Age: Inquisition (89) would have lost Bayonetta 2 (91), but they didn't.

Obviously this isn't comparable. Bayonetta wasn't chosen because how small its fanbase is and review sites wouldn't get the same number of hits. The Legend of Zelda is not Bayonetta though. 

In 2011 Skyward Sword got something like 5 GOTY Awards and Dark Souls got one. 2011 was a three way split between Skyward Sword, Portal 2, and Skyrim. And Skyward Sword is generally considered one of the worst 3D Zeldas. A new revitalization to the series, like the upcoming Wii U game, definitely will be getting a lot of the awards.
