Zelda has more chance than Mario. It's a series that even hardcore nintendo haters can like because it's not ''a kiddo game". It has the best mix of critical reception and commercial success and open world games are incredibly popular these days meanwhile platformer games are too specific. I don't even recall a platformer winning GOTY since 1996.

Mario Galaxy actually won quite a few game of the year awards. Not unanimous but several large publications like Gamespot gave it the nod.
