Zelda Switch Games: 2025 Lineup

The Legend of Zelda, a cornerstone of gaming history, has captivated players since its 1986 debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Chronicling the heroic adventures of Link and Princess Zelda against the nefarious Ganon, the series has consistently thrived. The Nintendo Switch, however, has propelled Zelda to new heights, solidifying its place as one of Nintendo's best-selling franchises with the monumental successes of *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*. With the release of *Echoes of Wisdom* near the end of the original Switch's lifecycle, it's the perfect time to reflect on the Zelda games available on the system. While no future Zelda titles are officially confirmed, Nintendo's announcement of the Switch 2 strongly suggests more Hyrule adventures are on the horizon.

Here's a comprehensive look at every Legend of Zelda game released on the Nintendo Switch.
