The short answer here is: If you have a Switch, you can (or will soon be able to) play 10 of the 15 main story games.

We’ll also ignore games on consoles like the Phillips CD-i or the Barcode Battler II. We’re going to focus on the mainline Zelda games here and skip over games like Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, Tri-Force Heroes, Link’s Crossbow Training, and Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland. Join us on our journey through The Legend of Zelda series, from the original 1986 game to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and beyond.

In 2023, Polygon is embarking on a Zeldathon.
