Can 2017 be crowned as the best year in gaming already?

Sorry, but there is just no way to know how well 2017 games are going to stand against the test of time.  We will have to wait to find out.  Just like we had to wait to see how well 1998 stood the test of time.

Sure, with the reception BotW got, it will likely be considered a top 1 or 2 Zelda game (and one of the top games of all time) for at least a few years.  Who knows what the next Zelda is going to bring though.  If Nintendo stick with the same open world format, maybe they improve on it in everyway and suddenly we just look at BotW as a stepping stone.  Could happen, or maybe not.

Super Mario Odyssey isn't even out yet.  No way to know for certain how this game is going to be received compared to the rest of the franchise yet.

Which is exactly what I said in one of  the many replies I made. 

I must have missed that then.  Good that you changed your position.
