Every Legend of Zelda Game on the Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Legend of Zelda, a cornerstone of video game history, debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. The series follows Princess Zelda and Link's valiant efforts to protect Hyrule from the nefarious Ganon. While always popular, the Nintendo Switch has propelled Zelda to become one of Nintendo's top-selling franchises, thanks to the phenomenal success 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 a perfect time to reflect on the Zelda games available on the system. While no upcoming Zelda titles are officially confirmed, Nintendo's announcement of the Switch 2 strongly suggests more Hyrule adventures are on the horizon.
