Alright, so the Nintendo Switch 2 drops, and chaos ensues in the gaming rankings—like, seriously, talk about a shake-up. So, here’s the thing: older games are getting their groove back thanks to fancy re-releases. Who expected that, right?
And bam! Breath of the Wild, yeah, that 2017 gem, suddenly pops up as one of the big stars of 2025. Like, out of nowhere. Well, maybe not nowhere, I mean, it’s Zelda.
But wait—this isn’t just about popping a Switch cartridge into the new console. Nope, Nintendo’s sprinkling some of their magic dust, upgrading a few special games for the Switch 2. Breath of the Wild gets the treatment—not that surprising. And its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, too. Only this time, you gotta cough up some cash. Seems fair—or maybe not?
Oh, and heads up: the Switch 2 Edition of Breath of the Wild isn’t even complete with all the DLC. Gotta love a new edition for another shot at those critical charts, huh? And boom, it worked!
So here it is again, topping the 2025’s biggest hits on MetaCritic, alongside something fresh, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Out of nowhere, the game’s rubbing shoulders with Blue Prince, another crowd pleaser from this year’s gaming fest.
Oh, random tangent here: did you ever think about how these scores are such a big deal? Anyway—wait, back on track—Expedition 33 and Breath of the Wild both snag that sweet 93 score. Blue Prince sits with a cozy 92, Split Fiction at 91, and rounding the top with Despelote at 89. Numbers climbing, games falling—it’s like a weird dance.
Breath of the Wild just knocked The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy off its pedestal in the top 20. Ouch, right?
And with this Switch 2 buzz, Zelda’s sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, with an even cooler 94 score, might just mess with those charts real soon. Like a 2023 game waltzing into the 2025 spotlight.
Got your hands on a Switch 2 and snagged those fancy Zelda upgrades? Might wanna bookmark those Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom guides. Trust me, whether you’re diving back in or exploring for the first time, those guides are lifesavers. Remembering stuff from 2017? Yeah, not happening without a little help.
Anyway, who knows what’s next in this wild gaming world?
