Every Legend of Zelda Game on the Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Legend of Zelda, a name synonymous with gaming excellence, has captivated players since its NES debut in 1986. Chronicling the valiant struggles of Link and Princess Zelda against the nefarious Ganon, the series has consistently enthralled. The Nintendo Switch, however, has propelled Zelda to unprecedented heights, with *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom* becoming phenomenal bestsellers. With the recent release of *Echoes of Wisdom*, it's a perfect time to reflect on the Switch's impressive Zelda collection, especially as we anticipate future adventures in Hyrule with the upcoming Switch 2.

While no new Zelda titles are officially confirmed, Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement assures us more Hyrule escapades are on the horizon. For now, let's explore every Legend of Zelda game currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
