<\/figure>\n

With the magnificent\u00a0Breath of the Wild<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and the\u00a0release of the lavishly remade\u00a0Link’s Awakening<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>around the corner, Switch<\/a> is fast becoming a terrific home for\u00a0Zelda<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>fans. Perhaps more so than ever, Nintendo’s latest console is playing host to a number of epic and enjoyable\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>games and titles\u00a0like them; each with distinct characteristics.<\/p>\n

Indeed,\u00a0there are a variety<\/em> of franchises –\u00a0from little known indies to major releases – that capture the essence and majesty of BotW\u00a0<\/em>and the beloved series it belongs to\u00a0while doing their own thing. These games range in style but adhere to the\u00a0Zelda<\/em>\u00a0formula on some level, be it the NES and SNES classics or the more epic, modern adventures.<\/p>\n

So let’s embark on a journey as we look at\u00a0some great Switch games to satiate your\u00a0Zelda: Breath of the Wild\u00a0<\/em>craving.<\/p>\n

Updated by Michael Connor Smith on August 22nd, 2020: <\/strong>While Nintendo enjoys keeping Zelda fans eagerly waiting in the dark for any semblance of info on Breath of the Wild 2, one may be tempted to search for some alternatives on the eShop. Luckily, there are quite a few games in the Switch’s library that have bits and pieces of what makes Zelda’s latest title so beloved.<\/em><\/p>\n

This list was updated to both include games that released after its first publication, such as Link’s Awakening, or to add a few titles that we felt deserved to be recommended to avid fans of Breath of the Wild.<\/em><\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Link’s Awakening<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Putting Zelda<\/em> games on this list is a no-brainer, as there’s a very likely chance that Nintendo’s famous Zelda<\/em> charm will captivate you in both 3D and 2D settings if you’re a fan of Breath of the Wild<\/em>. This is the third release of Link’s Awakening<\/em>, this time being a complete graphical overhaul.<\/p>\n

Link’s Awakening<\/em> on the switch is absolutely gorgeous and plays as smooth as butter. Like Breath of the Wild<\/em>, Link’s Awakening<\/em> opens up the full overworld to explore to your heart’s content pretty early on, giving that same, wonderful sense of exploration.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the Wii U’s surprise hits has made its way to the Switch, and in finer form than ever. It would seem to be a no-brainer that this\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>spin-off should be given a look for fans of\u00a0Breath of the Wild<\/em>. While the world-building, of course, contains similarities to the main series’ fantastical Hyrule and its colorful monsters, the actual gameplay is more akin to\u00a0Dynasty Warriors<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, this game is like\u00a0Zelda <\/em>amped up to 11,\u00a0taking the number of baddies on-screen to absurd and insanely fun levels.\u00a0Hyrule Warriors\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0a super satisfying hack ‘n’ slash which is\u00a0especially\u00a0suited for Switch’s handheld pick-up-and-play sensibilities.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Hyper Light Drifter<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It isn’t all too often that an indie game of this magnitude is released to such critical acclaim, but Hyper Light Drifter<\/em> absolutely lives up to its popularity. Created by a very small team of indie developers, Hyper Light Drifter<\/em> takes classic Zelda<\/em> formulas and turns them into something uniquely beautiful.<\/p>\n

The fast-paced, challenging gameplay is complemented by a story that needs to be played to be understood, as everyone will interpret its cryptic cutscenes in different ways. You’re going to get lost quite a bit during your playthrough, but that makes it all the more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Until Nintendo finally decides to bite the bullet and port Wind Waker HD <\/em>to the Switch, Oceanhorn <\/em>is here to fill that sea-faring Zelda-<\/em>shaped hole in our hearts. Originally released as a mobile title, Oceanhorn<\/em> isn’t afraid to pull a ton of things from multiple Zelda<\/em> games, and it does so with its own special charm.<\/p>\n

You’ll be sailing seas in search of treasure, exploring caves, and fighting monsters just like Zelda<\/em>, but Oceanhorn<\/em> is a much more compact adventure fit for those looking for a quick and easy little journey.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Collection Of Mana<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dating back to the early GameBoy days, SquareEnix’s handheld offshoot of\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>eventually blossomed into an admirable action-RPG in its own right.<\/p>\n

This trio of RPGs stands as a superb collection consisting of 3 very\u00a0Zelda<\/em>-esque adventure titles, complete with even deep customization, gripping stories, cool magic systems, and majestic environments. In particular,\u00a0Secret of Mana<\/em>, as well as its sequel<\/a> – which is being localized for the first time – both feel like\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>games of the 16-bit era that never were.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Bastion<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Paving the way for many indie games after it, Bastion<\/em> has its roots in classic 2D Zelda<\/em> gameplay, and every bit of it is just as great. Bastion <\/em>excels with its fun, polished combat, exploration, and a unique art style to call its own.<\/p>\n

Now on Nintendo Switch 9 years later, Bastion<\/em> looks better than ever and serves as one of the best action RPGs on the platform at an unbeatable price, making it a prime choice for any Zelda<\/em> fan looking for an unforgettable time.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Lttle Dew 2 +<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This surprisingly enduring little indie manages to capture the charming simplicity and colorful visuals of older\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>games while providing an open-world that allows dungeons to be tackled in any order.<\/p>\n

This adventure title is essentially a\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>clone to the point of injecting some humorous self-aware gags, yet it’s still a terrific experience in its own right. Its neat hand-drawn cartoon art style and a couple of innovative gameplay concepts allow Lttle Dew 2 +\u00a0<\/em>to feel both familiar and unique.\u00a0The game encourages exploration and provides a smattering of clever puzzles while injecting tons of satisfying combat that is easy to grasp and\u00a0engaging.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Dark Souls Remastered<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If the post-apocalyptic Hyrule seen in Breath of the Wild<\/em> just so happened to be filled with disgusting demons and monsters, undead warriors, and a few bonfires here and there, it wouldn’t be too different from Dark Souls<\/em>‘ Lordran.<\/p>\n

As is Hyrule, Lordran is largely explorable right from the get-go, with only a few cryptic hints to keep you on the right track. Just as how almost anything can act as a weapon in BOTW<\/em>, Dark Souls<\/em> prides itself on having a huge list of equipment, making every playthrough feel like an entirely different experience, which also makes finding random weapons and armor around the world all the more rewarding.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Of all the titles from Square Enix’s epic and iconic RPG franchise, it may seem a bit odd to feature the lesser-known “black sheep” of the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>family as a suitable BotW\u00a0<\/em>alternative. Yet, as a whole,\u00a0FFXII<\/em>‘s\u00a0gameplay formula tends to adhere closest to these sensibilities, from the more action-oriented combat to the fantasy environments of the semi-open worlds.<\/p>\n

FFXII\u00a0<\/em>stands as one of the more underrated entries in the series, being sandwiched between the beloved\u00a0FFX<\/em> and the hype of\u00a0XIII<\/em>. Furthermore, the remastered Switch version is the game at its very best. It looks and feels fantastic,\u00a0while the unique Gambit system, along with a number of gameplay tweaks, makes for a fun and intuitive\u00a0battle system. This is a gripping adventure that shouldn’t be overlooked if you’re a\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>fan, especially given its relatively cheap price.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Cadence Of Hyrule: Crypt Of The NecroDancer Featuring The Legend Of Zelda<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This announcement came out of nowhere during a Nintendo Direct<\/a> showcase earlier this year, much to the delight of old-school Zelda\u00a0<\/em>fans.\u00a0Sure,\u00a0Cadence of Hyrule\u00a0<\/em>is mainly a rhythmic-based experience dressed with\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>themes. Yet, whether you’re a fan of heart-pumping rhythm games or not,\u00a0Cadence of Hyrule\u00a0<\/em>shines through as one of the most interesting, innovative indies this year.<\/p>\n

This amusing collaboration between Nintendo and Brace Yourself Games\u00a0makes for a satisfying musical adventure that’s tough to put down. The game combines thrilling action with subtle strategy, as you must time your moves correctly while anticipating the moves of enemies.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Marking its first-ever appearance on a console,\u00a0Blossom Tales<\/em>\u00a0runs with a charmingly simple overhead 16-bit\u00a0visual\u00a0that is somewhere between NES-era\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0A Link To The Past<\/em>. The game is something of a truncated\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>adventure, but it still captivates with\u00a0its\u00a0appealing retro aesthetic, interesting dungeons, and some exciting boss battles throughout.<\/p>\n

This sleeper hit stresses the action-laced\u00a0elements\u00a0of early\u00a0Zelda\u00a0<\/em>too, with some intense and enjoyable combat, and a range of distinctive baddies to fend off during your\u00a0 6-7 hour romp.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>OKAMI HD<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A surprise hit from the now-defunct Clover Studio,\u00a0OKAMI <\/em>shines as both an artistic and gameplay marvel that has aged like a fine wine. This surreal adventure is\u00a0somewhat\u00a0a reinterpretation of\u00a0Twilight Princess\u00a0<\/em>(especially Link’s wolf form), in much the same way that some of our previous entries are\u00a0homages to\u00a0early\u00a0<\/em>Zelda\u00a0<\/em>games.<\/p>\n

The gorgeous watercolor style and cool Japanese mythology make\u00a0OKMAI\u00a0<\/em>feel like an interactive work of art as much as an action-adventure game. It features some imaginative puzzles, unique dungeons, and enjoyable combat that\u00a0BotW<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>fans should both recognize and appreciate.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Widely regarded as the pinnacle of epic Western RPGs<\/a>,\u00a0Skyrim<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is absolutely\u00a0dripping with content, along with rich, immersive locations, endless dungeons, intimidating foes, and satisfying spells. Much like Zelda<\/em>, this in-depth role-playing adventure takes the fantasy sensibilities\u00a0of\u00a0Dungeons & Dragons\u00a0<\/em>and fleshes everything out with its vast open worlds that beckon you to explore it.<\/p>\n

Given\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s clear influence on the sandbox nature and\u00a0free-flowing gameplay\u00a0in Nintendo’s latest mainline\u00a0Zelda<\/em>, this one’s a no brainer for\u00a0BotW\u00a0<\/em>fans to dive into. You can even equip yourself with Link’s trademark outfit and Master Sword in the Switch version! All it needs is Princess Zelda, Gannon, and the Triforce, and this would feel akin to a Westernized version of Nintendo’s flagship title.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Minecraft: Switch Edition<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s tough to deny the superiority of the PC version of this\u00a0huge indie sandbox odyssey. Yet,\u00a0the Switch version may just be the best way to play on a handheld; thanks to the addition of the Nintendo flair, premade maps, and impressive world sizes.<\/p>\n

As liberating as Breath of the Wild<\/em>‘s\u00a0open-world of Hyrule can feel,\u00a0Minecraft<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0perhaps\u00a0the one<\/em> game that can even make\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>experience feel\u00a0somewhat\u00a0limiting. Going\u00a0full-blown “survival mode” and slaying tons of baddies, building elaborate structures, or engaging in a bit of deep mining and dungeon crawling; players can do just about anything<\/em>.\u00a0Minecraft\u00a0<\/em>is like a totally open-ended, blocky version of a\u00a0Zelda<\/em>-style journey.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Standing tall as one of the richest and longest campaigns in the Switch library,\u00a0Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>gives\u00a0BotW\u00a0<\/em>a run for its money when it comes to\u00a0dynamic gameplay, a gripping narrative, and rewarding progression.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Fire Emblem\u00a0<\/em>fans are aware, this tactical series is more similar<\/a> to the likes of\u00a0Ogre Battle\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Final Fantasy Tactics <\/em>on the gameplay front. Yet, in terms of its imaginative fantasy world-building, heroic archetypes,\u00a0and the breadth of customization\/upgrades, this journey\u00a0proves equally\u00a0captivating. BotW\u00a0<\/em>fans seeking a similarily memorable, magical romp should look no further than this well-crafted strategy game.<\/p>\n
