Would’ve liked to see Lies of P or Hi-Fi Rush take Mario Wonder’s spot but oh well, they’re both in other categories.
I agree with you on all points, but I guess I haven’t really seen the same meh attitudes towards it that you have? The Nintendo/Zelda fans have seemed largely rabid over it since it came out, and I wonder if there’s just so many of them that it will beat out the competition? Idk, I guess we’ll see in a couple weeks!
I hope you’re right, though, because how I felt at the end of playing ToTK was very different than when I started playing, largely due to the repetitive and aggravating game systems. It’s a real shame, because I loved the story (not the way it was presented via memories, but still)
