Remember the time where you commented on the Nomination livestream where you did not expect lots of people saying Baldur’s gate 3 will win. They did indeed win but it really shows that they are sooooo toxic to Nintendo fans (I hope you are, I am). I know the feeling of not winning the game you voted, but damm if it was the same game that dominated the game you chose it turns super frustrating and super annoying. Biut hey, let’s celebrate the other things Mario, TOTK, Pikmin and other Nintendo games brought home!

[@Chario_]

In any other year, games like Sea of Stars, Street Fighter 6, Hi-Fi Rush, Pikmin 4, etc would be considered a shoe-in for at least a GOTY nomination, but the fact that all of them got snubbed with no major backlash just goes to show how truly incredible the games this year have been 2023 will go down as one of the greatest years in gaming history

@@mrquick7227 K, guess i was wrong but considering this was a game not many people were very keen on as it was a “New Super Mario Bros” title, it’s impressive seeing how successful the game is

Totk theme just shine upon the others, amazing!

The best part of goty ceremony. Dude, I love this transition 2:14 every time I heard zelda's soundtrack I get goosebumps Edit: im glad this part to be the most listened in the video ❤❤❤

[@megasebas9039]

When totk music arrives i just felt something no game ever done to me, it was a incredible year for gaming and all the nominees are special but TOTK just hits different, and baldurs gate is a monster as well, what a game!

Please just turn TGA into a two-hour performance by The Game Awards Orchestra!

Man flute guy is such a legend. He is so pure, passionate, and wholesome. Legendary musician, really. I am so happy for all the recognition he gets.

[@FabledGentleman]

Not only is he a very talented flutist and musician, he just seems so in awe of the music he participates in performing. He seems like a genuinely happy and balanced human being. I bet he is not into social media 😂

[@solblackguy]

@@FabledGentleman He's on twitter. He thanked everyone for all the love he got last year.

[@levivass]

Man he BG3 music never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Game just came out and I'm already feeling intense nostalgia. Also flute guy is such a legend I love it

[@Daniella040]

Tears of the kingdom theme had me in tears.. GOTY for me!

[@maripo5]

I cried when GOWR's theme played last year and BG3 and TOTK this year 😭 the impact that playing these games has left on me and THOUSAND of people all over the world in countless countries, languages, cultures, ages, and backgrounds is incredible. games are truly one of the best forms of media/art/entertainment to exist.

[@dollciechilde1173]

The transition from re4r to totk is so good😭😭

[@CubeXSkytower]

I’ve listened to the previous GOTY orchestra, I think this is the best one so far. I wish they release the GOTY orchestra in form of a soundtrack downloadable in iTunes or somewhere

[@rolop_1238]

La parte de "tears of the kingdom" fue otro nivel 🔥

[@sirreoser5668]

@2:58 Enemy- Why do I hear boss music? Flute guy- DU DU DU-DUUUuuu!

[@user-lc5en5ln9b]

Everyone is talking about Baldur's Gate, SM 2, RE4, and TOTK. But can we talk about Super Mario Bros Wonder? Damn. I just LOVE how is between these titans of the gaming, even if Zelda its from the same company, it's amazing to see the plumber still have the power.

That down by the river motif and the TOTK theme was just so good
