Year context

How the year played out

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won 2017 so decisively that the character of the runner-up tier almost gets blurred. Zelda locked down the year-end center with The Game Awards and the New York Game Awards, while Horizon Zero Dawn built a broad chase but the major-awards exceptions came from elsewhere: BAFTA chose What Remains of Edith Finch and NAVGTR chose Super Mario Odyssey. The dominance is clear, but those exceptions leave traces of narrative adventure and Nintendo's internal competition.
