Featured in our top 10 games of the year list, it looks like the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is better than expected. It beats out the likes of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5 and Super Mario Odyssey to take the ‘Game of the Year’ award at the 2017 Game Awards.
That isn’t the only award Zelda took home as it also won the award for ‘Best Game Direction’ and ‘Best Action/Adventure Game’. At the end of the night, Nintendo were the biggest winners as even Super Mario Odyssey attained many nominations as well as bagging the award for ‘Best Family Game’.
Cuphead also walked away with three awards for ‘Best Art Direction’, ‘Best Debut Indie Game’ and also ‘Best Independent Game’ with just five nominations. Other award winners (bolded) include:
