    he is also responsible for several of Nintendo’s other hit games – among them The Legend of Zelda, whose latest instalment just topped many of 2023’s game of the year lists.

      Lot of people put TotK as one of their top games, even for how stacked 2023 was. Although, I’d be hard pressed to find anybody labeling it as GotY.
