Even though it hasn't even been released yet, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has made its presence felt after not only earning nominations for multiple awards, but even winning a few already. As one of Nintendo's longest-running flagship series, the longevity of Zelda is a clear sign that it has landed on a winning formula, so a litany of awards following in the wake of its games isn't unusual. Typically though, such awards are doled out after a game's launch and not before, yet The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already seemingly done the impossible.
