How Should I Start Playing The Legend of Zelda?

Don’t stress too much about the Zelda timeline! Each game tells its own story, so you can jump in wherever you want. Just pick a game that looks interesting to you. Most Zelda titles are available on the Switch, mostly through the Nintendo Switch Online service, but if your console is modded, that might complicate things a bit. So just choose what appeals to you!

If you’ve got a Switch, I’d recommend starting with “Breath of the Wild,” “Skyward Sword,” or “Link’s Awakening.” They each have unique gameplay styles, so go with the one that seems most fun to you!
