A very diverse ranking, by the way, led by &#8216;Mario Kart 8 Deluxe&#8217; and followed by, among others, &#8216;Animal Crossing&#8217;, &#8216;Super Smash Bros&#8217;, &#8216;The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild&#8217; or &#8216;Super Mario Odyssey&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come on, Switch is in top form. And thank goodness, because it needs to be this year. After all, we&#8217;ve reached the point of stagnation where games are going to be released sparingly. Yes, <strong>it has very little left to offer<\/strong> before passing the crown to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/a-new-pokemon-phenomenon-is-already-here-which-nintendo-wont-like\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nintendo<\/a>&#8216;s next console, and everyone knows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom \u2013 1.er tr\u00e1iler oficial (Nintendo Switch)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p_jPc32zpPA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is clear is that in the new gadget, &#8216;The Legend of Zelda&#8217; will continue to aim for open worlds, rather than the closed dungeons of yesteryear. Or maybe a mix. Either way, <strong>right now the company would give everything to release a game from the saga for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/we-already-have-a-release-date-for-the-nintendo-switch-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nintendo Switch 2<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the two titles of the franchise, they have sold over 51 million units in this generation. And even by today&#8217;s standards, that&#8217;s a lot. To put it in perspective, both games combined would surpass <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-annoyed-players-have-left-overwatch-2-announces-a-new-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">&#8216;Overwatch&#8217;<\/a> or &#8216;The Witcher 3&#8217;. That&#8217;s saying something. <strong>Now we just need them not to disappoint us<\/strong> in the future, but with the movie coming soon and bringing new inhabitants to Hyrule, it&#8217;s very unlikely that they will.
