The Nintendo Switch may not have been a runaway success if it hadn't launched with the unassailable masterpiece that is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game radically reworks Nintendo’s beloved, action-RPG series into a spectacular new form that honors the franchise's original spirit. Its sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, promises an even grander open-world Hyrule to explore on land and in the sky.
But Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are far from the only Zelda game you can play on the Switch. Zelda is one of Nintendo’s oldest, most acclaimed, and most influential franchises. So, naturally, many games inspired by Zelda have found their way to the handheld/console hybrid. With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally arriving (and, hopefully, Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD coming in the near future), you might be inspired to play more Zelda and Zelda-adjacent games on your Switch. Start with these.
