"Twilight Princess was named Game of the Year by X-Play, Game Trailers, 1UP, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Spacey Awards, Game Informer, GameSpy, Nintendo Power, IGN, and many other websites."

..and that's just TP.

AlttP was Nintendo Power's GOTY for 5 consecutive years - and that was when nintendo was pretty much everything.

I don't know how goty corresponds with oot, but oot is the most critically acclaimed game of all time.

ah ok.  I still think ss will take more goty prizes than skyrim, even if skyrim is a better game. (I havent played it and doubt i will, not my cup of tea)

The old nerds who make those decisions just love it too much.

this year has been too packed with more mainstream/popular stuff for ss to win much i think

how do you know you're not in a bubble?  Different games are popular in different circles. I think zelda is a way more popular series than any you have mentioned.

COD is more popular than zelda, sadly...

i'm judging by sales figures ... is there another way? zelda is nice and all but it's nowhere near as popular relative to the rest of the market as it used to be

In terms of sales, yes (sadly).  But not critical acclaim.

critical acclaim has little to do with popularity, for better or worse

I don't really look at sales since the whole wii thing happened and crap-ware was selling more copies than ever.
