Another year of The Game Awards is in the books. Coinciding with reveals throughout the show, awards were handed out across a number of different categories.
Two Nintendo games in particular earned a ton of nominations – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. Both won awards, but Zelda ultimately took home the majority out of the two, including the top “Game of the Year” prize. Other titles also won out including Metroid: Samus Returns as “Best Handheld Game” and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle as “Best Strategy Game”.
Below is the full listing of winners:
