Zelda and Skyrim were both nominated for GOTY, but most of us had not played Skyward Sword yet and Skyrim just didn't resonate as well with some of us. If you check out our review on it you'll see some of the things we didn't like. It's all subjective of course, and most are extremely good games so picking winners was proving to be quite difficult this year.
Also the cutoff must be pretty close considering Zelda got in.
