1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
As if there was any doubt that Breath of the Wild would top this list? Ever since the game was first announced, we have all been sitting here with our fingers crossed hoping it would be out at a reasonable point in the Switch’s lifespan only to find out, lo and behold, it is in fact a launch title. If I had to explain what makes Breath of the Wild so much more than a regular Zelda title in one sentence, the easiest comparison that comes to mind would be “it’s Skyrim, but in Hyrule.” Breath of the Wild looks staggeringly beautiful, and Link is going to be more versatile than ever before. We have already seen Amiibo functionality with the game, crafting, exploration, and combat. While there are still a few questions with things like population density, mini dungeons, and the size of the open world, Breath of the Wild is not only the top choice of the launch titles but potentially the best Zelda title to hit consoles. This game will be a necessity in the library of every Switch owner and should set the bar for future games coming exclusively to the Switch.
