Ah, man, where do I even start with this whole Nintendo Switch 2 hullabaloo? I mean, I get it—new tech always shakes things up, right? But, still, seeing a game from way back in 2017 suddenly popping back up in 2025’s charts is—I dunno—kinda wild? It’s like, people are saying, "Hey, Breath of the Wild, you’re old news," and then, boom, it’s back at number one.
So, what’s the deal? Well, they’ve dusted off The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and given it some shiny new upgrades for the Switch 2. Yeah, I’ve got mixed feelings about it. It’s not just a port—it’s one of these "Switch 2 Editions" or something. And oddly enough, even the upgrades don’t include all the DLC. Like, why? You’d think they’d go all out, right?
Anyway, back to the charts. Breath of the Wild now owns the top spot, alongside this fresh game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Side note—what a name, right? The kind that sounds like it means business. Also, kinda feels like seeing an old friend suddenly tie with the new, super-popular kid in school.
So, with Breath of the Wild’s comeback, it even shoved Blue Prince and others down a peg. Not the kind of musical chairs you’d expect, huh? But, hey, it got a 93 on MetaCritic or something. Blue Prince is chilling at 92. And meanwhile, games like The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy are—how do I put it—kicked out into oblivion. It’s harsh, man.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, Tears of the Kingdom, another Zelda game, is ready to swoop in with an even shinier 94 score. Makes you wonder if the oldies really are goldies—or maybe they just have more nostalgia wrapped up in them? Either way, I’ve heard folks saying we could see more updates on these ranks soon.
Oh, and if you snagged a Switch 2 and jumped back into these Zelda upgrades, don’t be shy about bookmarking some guides. Seriously, with all the crazy twists and turns, who remembers every little secret? Whether you’re a returning champ or a first-timer, those guides are like gold—and I’m not just saying that because I might’ve forgotten a few things myself.
