Somehow, Nintendo keeps finding ways to bring great games to the Switch despite its age. We had a slew of remakes and sequels this year that made this one of the system’s best.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom did more of what made Breath of the Wild great. More freedom, more choices, and just so much was added in on top of what’s already great. Where can the series go from here we all wonder. While the visuals are aging rapidly, and the game chokes the Switch beyond what is can handle, it looks great and can still feel like a magical experience.
