Voting for Skyward Sword isn't that out there, I mean this is really a discussion for the 2011 thread, but it's definitely a valid candidate. Uncharted 3 and Gears 3 are worthy too, but the three are pretty close quality wise, it's not like Zelda's not in the same league.

It's also the launch year of two little-known but critically acclaimed games called SKYRIM and DARK SOULS.

But yeah, a discussion for another time :P

Twilight Princess has some of the best dungeons and bosses in all of LoZ and the *best* companion. Gears, Oblivion, and FFXII can pound sand.

That said you're 100% correct that I won't be voting for Skyward Sword, a very middling game, as GOTY in 2011. But I won't be voting for Skyrim or Dark Souls either. Imo, that year belongs to Arkham City.
