10 Essential Nintendo Switch Games Every New Owner Must Play

10. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Let's stick Zelda at no. 10, simply because its existence as one of the finest games of all time - possibly the best video game in existence - means it'll top any list from now until Nintendo decide to unveil another instalment.

Regardless, Nintendo's decision to soft-reboot the Zelda canon has resulted in the finest-playing instalment yet. From an absolutely stunning open-world rife with playfully experimental game mechanics, survival-based progression, punchy combat and scores of underground puzzle rooms, there's a flawlessness to how you take in Breath of the Wild's various gameplay loops that's like nothing else.

It really does draw you in by constantly letting you feel as though you're discovering new locations, abilities and ways to complete your objectives - yet there's an delicate guiding hand ushering you along the way.

This sense of genuine craftsmanship is sorely missing from 99% of the triple A industry's output, which is why Breath of the Wild feels like an even shinier treasure.
