Yeah, I think this part was lost on some of the thread lol.
But sure, Ocarina. That game swept the industry and gamers alike.
SMG2 and to a slightly lesser extent, TW3, also cleaned up shop in recent years.
I'd say TLOU, but that one was a bit lopsided. Far more praise from the industry itself than from the gaming community.
/anecdotes.
SMG2 didn't really kill it though, both Mario Galaxy games didn't win the most GOTYs. Mario is just one of those games on SW most people had shitty arguments against, so people arguing against were either dumb as **** or just had to settle for "not my cup of tea". Because as a work of game design, both Galaxy games are amazing, and like genuinely amazing. Not pretty, but the gameplay is suspect "amazing" the way stuff like The Witcher 3 is.
But as far as media wide, Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead killed it in 10 GOTY wise, and I think 07 was a bit closer, but it was spread across a few games: Bioshock, COD4, Portal, Mario Galaxy.
And all things considered I don't think The Last of Us was anywhere close to a bad pick, I think it's genuinely a very good game. It probably was the best game that year outside of maybe Dota 2 from that year.
