But personally the game shouldn't get any Game of the Years, theres too many things that are holding it back from being something special. Personally Skyward Sword was a better overall experience for me, I guess it proves that a game with a smaller world and better gameplay is better then a game with a massive world and lazy gameplay.
For me it's the oposite I hate Skyward Sword with a passion it's the worst Zelda ever made ESPECIALLY because there is no overworld no towns beside one big boring place with lame fetch quests and nothing to explore. Not to mention flying the bird is probably the most boring thing I have seen in a game lately it's not even seamless.
I love Zelda but SS is an empty run from one to the next dungeon game with pretty bad game mechanics at times, yes the motion stuff works but no free camera, clunky movement and not being able to walk or move while you wiggle your sword is just lame.
I was kind of disappointed with Skyrim for the first 10 hours but it got alot better after that, I'm around 70 hours in and hope I won't finish anytime soon.
