Yes I’ve played BOTW, and it’s the only Nintendo game that has been a GOTY since like ever, but all Mario and Zelda games score similarly high and lose GOTY to lower scoring games. Just like Rockstar’s games.

The galaxy games got loads of GOTY awards, twilight princess, windwaker, metroid prime. Skyward sword, Wii sports got a few. Goty awards only really got popular this decade. 

They were quite popular last gen too.

twilight princess lost to Oblivion and Gears of War.

Mario Galaxy lost to Bioshock

GTA4 lost to Fallout 3

Mario Galaxy 2 lost to RDR and Mass Effect 2

Windwaker lost to Skyrim, Batman, Portal 2, and Uncharted 3.

GTAV lost to TLOU

RDR2 lost God of War

Over these two generations both Rockstar and Nintendo have had the top winner just once each. Why are these critics giving 10s to their games but not voting for them as GOTY? Do they just get the biggest fan of the franchise to review the games who keep slapping 10s on them but when the whole staff votes on GOTY it turns out not many agreed with the reviewer.
