Every Remake Ever Nominated for Game of the Year, and What Beat It

I'm not going to pretend I'm unbiased when it comes to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, because it's one of my favorite games of all time, and I think the Switch 2 remake deserves a Game of the Year nomination at The Game Awards 2026. In fact, I think it has a legitimate chance of winning, especially considering its 96 Metascore and how well Nintendo managed to preserve everything that made the original so good. Of course, Grand Theft Auto 6 hasn't been released yet, and there's every possibility Rockstar's next game will be phenomenal. But I don't think a remake should automatically be considered less deserving of Game of the Year simply because the game it's based on is almost 30 years old.
