Nintendo's early Switch-seller The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild walked away with an armful of awards at the close of this year's Golden Joystick Awards. The annual video game award show, now in its 35th year, solicits votes from a worldwide audience to determine the best games, developers, and personalities of the year.
This year, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild earned itself the most awards of any game mentioned with a total four wins in categories such as Best Audio and Ultimate Game of the Year.
Following behind that, Cuphead, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Horizon Zero Dawn all tied for the second biggest winner of the event with two wins each, though Horizon Zero Dawn voice actor Ashly Burch walked away with two additional awards of her own.
