I don't think so, now that the dust has settled lots of people agree ToTK was a bit underwhelming. It had many of the same issues as breath of the wild, like weak dungeons and bosses. The depths and sky islands also had lots of copy pasting, way more than breath of the wild ever has.

Great game still, but no way it'll win GotY. It'll easily win the action/adventure award though.

I agree with you on all points, but I guess I haven't really seen the same meh attitudes towards it that you have? The Nintendo/Zelda fans have seemed largely rabid over it since it came out, and I wonder if there's just so many of them that it will beat out the competition? Idk, I guess we'll see in a couple weeks!

I hope you're right, though, because how I felt at the end of playing ToTK was very different than when I started playing, largely due to the repetitive and aggravating game systems. It's a real shame, because I loved the story (not the way it was presented via memories, but still)
