The Legend of Zelda franchise reigns supreme as one of gaming's most iconic series. Beginning its journey on the NES in 1986, the saga follows Princess Zelda and Link's valiant efforts to protect Hyrule from Ganon's malevolent forces. While consistently popular, the Nintendo Switch has propelled Zelda to new heights, becoming one of Nintendo's top-selling franchises thanks to the phenomenal success of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

With Echoes of Wisdom recently released, it's a perfect time to reflect on the Switch's Zelda offerings. Although no future Zelda titles are officially confirmed, the announcement of the Switch 2 strongly suggests more Hyrule adventures are on the horizon. For now, let's explore every Legend of Zelda game currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
