Well, The TGA nominees are here. Since you a'll won't be interested in the full nominee list, here are the notable ones:

GOTY:

Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
Donkey Kong Bonanza
Hades 2
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Oh my god, it's a split between Exp 33 and Silksong for me!

Best Performance

Ben StarrClair Obscur Expedition 33
Charlie CoxClair Obscur Expedition 33
Erika IshiGhost of Yotei
Jennifer EnglishClair Obscur Expedition 33
Konatsu KatoSilent Hill F
Troy BakerIndiana Jones & The Great Circle

Anyone but Troy Baker for me, thx!


Best Adaptation
A Minecraft Movie
Devil May Cry
The Last of Us: Season 2
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch
Until Dawn

Umm, DMC is the only choice here. Weren't most of these considered trash, especially TLOU Season 2?

Best Ongoing

Final Fantasy XIV
Fortnite
Helldivers 2
Marvel Rivals
No Man's Sky

Man, I think I need to give this award to NMS every year until the devs actually stops updating contents and providing support. It seriously is one of the great achievements ever made in this industry, and I can't imagine the pride and joy the devs must be feeling.

Best Multiplayer

Arc Raiders
Battlefield 6
Elden Ring Neightreign
Peak
Split Fiction

Gonna have to go with split fiction. BF6 was such a disappointment.

Best Score

Christopher LarkinHollow Knight: Silksong
Darren KorbHades 2
Lorien TestardClair Obscur Expedition 33
Toma OtowaGhost of Yotei
Woodkid & Ludvig ForssellDeath Stranding 2: On The Beach

Lorien, no question.

As of this post, the TGA website is down (no surprise), and there were more nomination and categories. I have a feeling Exp 33 is gonna be a sweep this year, but there are lots of strong contenders as well.

E33 sweeps for sure. Best multiplayer is gonna go the Elden Ring because that game is a cancer that just wont go away.

Of course she's an archer, a fighter. Fuck off, Sony, Nintendo.
I don't see the problem. This isn't the first time Zelda is implied or stated to be a fighter. OoT, Hyrule Warriors, AoC, and AoI all say hello. Sounds like a you issue.

Age of Imprisonment is canon, by the way.

Spot the guy who's never played Wind Waker, in which Zelda borrows Link's bow and Light Arrows to directly help defeat Ganondorf.

ETA: Actually, even before Wind Waker, she used one in several episodes of the animated show from 1989:

If audiences in 1989 could handle Zelda using a bow to help Link fight, and audiences in 2003 could handle it, then surely audiences in 2025 can handle it too.

Beat Wind Waker three times. She used the bow for two seconds, at the end of the game. After Tetra was revealed as Zelda, the princess barely had a role anymore.

Sheik was magic, and after the identity was given up, Zelda went back to "wisdom."

Didn't play Hyrule Warriors. Never was attracted to Dynasty Warriors. It, as well as AoC and AoI, are from the current era, when studios can't be trusted anymore, which is why I said fuck Nintendo too.

We're taking the animated series seriously now?

Link and Zelda weren't out in the field together until those flashbacks in Breath and Tears as far as I know. He's supposed to be on his own. Terrible way to advertise your movie. But it's probably shit and Zelda will probably tag along as a strong woman for a significant portion.

Basically, what you are saying is "I don't think Zelda is a fighter, so any game where she is a fighter doesn't count." I guess Ocarina of Time doesn't count, either, because Sheik. Oh, wait, she uses magic to transform into Sheik, so Sheik is actually a completely different person, I forgot.

Also, Wind Waker doesn't count, because Zelda is a pirate captain. Therefore, she'd have to have some combat skills. We all know Zelda doesn't have combat skills, ergo Wind Waker isn't actually an LoZ game, either.

"The BOTW flashbacks don't matter" is... a take.

Also, did you forget whose name was in the title? I'll give you a hint: it's not Link.

I mean regardless of Zelda's capabilities, she isn't the person I think of when I think of a Legend of Zelda game (ironic given the name of the games). But growing up as Link adventuring through dungeons and learning new tricks and tools needed to save Hyrule is the core foundation of the games imo. And the movie promotion everything except that concept implies that it's yet another girl-boss story where Link is a little wiener fuck who can't accomplish shit without Zelda doing it for him.
Even in that photo, Zelda is regal, strong, elegant, and in charge.....Link is twiddling his thumbs like a stupid cow. So it looks like yet another story in which the men are incompetent idiots and the women are perfect badasses who are always right and have zero character flaws.

Twilight Princess and HW versions says hi.

Also, don't know what pic you're looking at, but you and Zeke are clearly looking at different photos. I am not hardcore into Zelda, but you're both bullshitting and you know it. I hope the movie does great, because if it makes you and people like Zeke more miserable than you already do to yourselves, then it shows how you both got nothing going on in your actual lives to be this petty.

We've literally seen a few pictures from the movie, and we're already judging the characterizations. Insane.
Well I mean they post pictures online to get people talking about it, so mission accomplished.

I personally don't care, I stopped going to the movies years ago when the vast majority of releases started being garbage, and to this day there has never been a good video game movie, and this will be no exception. I wonder if Uwe Bowl is directing.
