The Legend of Zelda Holiday Gift Guide 2022

The Legend of Zelda is a special franchise for many. Through Hyrule, we’ve seen glorious vistas, groundbreaking narratives, and epic boss battles that we’ll remember for years to come. But now, take this The Legend of Zelda holiday gift guide as it’s dangerous to go alone.

The Best Zelda Games On Nintendo Switch

Some of the greatest The Legend of Zelda games are on the Nintendo Switch. One of those includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which has transformed the series with an open world. In fact, the open world is cleverly a puzzle in and of itself as you need to figure out how to get from A to Z. You’ll have to master the elements and learn how to climb to reach new horizons. The puzzles are well-implemented and the bosses are exceptional in Breath of the Wild.

If your friend, family member, or loved one would like a flashback, you may want to pick up The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. The game has been retooled for a modern controller system and has better visuals overall. While some may want Twilight Princess and Windwaker more, Skyward Sword is still an entertaining game that would be a great gift for a Zelda fan. Both games have been on sale during Black Friday, so keep an eye out for discounts in the future over December.
