This whole Nintendo Switch 2 thing… well, it’s a wild ride, let me tell you. So, they’ve launched this new console, right? And suddenly, games from years ago are making a comeback in this year’s top rankings. We’re talking about Zelda: Breath of the Wild being hailed as one of 2025’s best games. Yeah, even though it dropped back in 2017. Crazy, huh?
Anyway, picture this: Breath of the Wild isn’t just chilling on that new Switch 2. Nope, it got all fancy with upgrades. So did its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom. But get this, you gotta pay for those upgrades, and they didn’t even include all the DLC. Makes you wonder, why not just bundle it all, right?
Here’s the kicker: this upgrade totally gave it a boost. Like, it’s up there sharing the spotlight with a fresh game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They’re tied for the top spot. And poor Blue Prince, it’s just a smidge behind. I mean, can you imagine releasing a game in 2025 only to be upstaged by a revamped classic?
Now, the list? Yeah, it’s shifting. Expedition 33 and Breath of the Wild, both sitting pretty with a 93 score. Blue Prince got 92, Split Fiction at 91, and then there’s Despelote rounding out the top five with an 89. Oh, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy? Sorry, bud, you’re out of the top 20 now. Rough.
And Tears of the Kingdom? It’s next. That upgrade’s supposed to come with a 94 score. So, pretty soon a game from 2023 might just own 2025’s top spot. Mind-bending, honestly.
So, if you’ve got a Switch 2 and you’re grabbing those Zelda updates, better keep our guides handy. You might’ve forgotten a lot—or hey, maybe you’re diving in for the first time. Either way, our guides will have your back. Enjoy the journey!
