The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Game Awards 2017
In 2017, another open-world, third-person RPG won the top award of the night. This time the beloved Zelda: Breath of the Wild took the top honors at The Game Awards. This was also the first and, as of 2024, the only Nintendo-published game to walk away with the GOTY trophy. It also means that a Wii U game has won Game of the Year. Weird!
