However, for anyone looking for more Zelda: Breath of the Wild lore or something flavored like it to help tide over appetites until the Breath of the Wild 2 releases, Age of Calamity should not be overlooked.

At this point, it's too early to tell if Breath of the Wild 2 will follow Age of Calamity's timeline or the original Breath of the Wild's. While the original Hyrule Warriors is a fun, yet canonically detached, musou beat-em-up, Age of Calamity could tie into Breath of the Wild 2. Crypt of the Necrodancer: Cadence of Hyrule is a rare Nintendo-sanctioned collaboration with an outside indie studio - a rhythm adventure game that features a playable Zelda. There are many mainline Zelda games available on the Switch to play while waiting on Breath of the Wild 2, plus the two Hyrule Warriors games and one indie spin-off. Ultimate also has a smattering of stages inspired by the franchise, like Ocarina of Time's Gerudo Valley and the Great Bay from Majora's Mask. More bizarrely, Link is playable in Mario Kart 8, which even has BOTW's Master Cycle Zero as an available motorcycle. Among several other easter eggs, Smash Bros. Ultimate : Link, Toon Link, Young Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, and Sheik. There are several Zelda characters in Super Smash Bros. Zelda also makes cameos throughout other Switch games.

However, for now, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are still sadly missing. The N64's Ocarina of Time recently arrived on Switch thanks to the new Expansion Pack service, and Majora's Mask is coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in the near future. There are still many classic Zelda entries missing from Nintendo's latest console, although the Switch's Zelda game library continues to grow.
