For sound design I have no problems with BotW getting an award, but if I'm being perfectly honest, I've now listened through the soundtrack twice all the way through, and individual tracks several times over when I was putting together the top 50 video game soundtracks articles, and I can't remember a single tracks from the soundtrack. I feel like the score works really well in-game when you're actually playing, but for me personally at least, it just doesn't stand out in any way when listened to by itself.

Which isn't a reason why it'd be worse, really.

In any case, I disagree.

That's perfectly fine. I can easily understand why other people really enjoyed the music in the game, I just personally don't care much for it. Like I said, in-game it works, but I would never count it anywhere near an all-time great score.
