Last night saw the winners crowned from The Games Awards in a glitzy ceremony in LA.
The Legend of Zelda was one of the biggest winners, taking Best Game Direction, Game of the Year and Best Action/Adventure, but Cuphead and Hellblade picked up three awards apiece.
The real winners were nintendo, with five awards for their games, six if you count Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which does have Mario’s grinning face on the cover, despite its development at Ubisoft.
Here’s a 9 minute video all about how great The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is. I’m not even being sarcastic, I just really like it.
