Like us, many believed that the Nintendo Switch console was for kids only. However, we were wrong. Though initially, games geared towards kids made up the entire library of games on the Nintendo hybrid console. It was easy to let a kid play without parental permission. Today there is a bit more to be careful about.

Nintendo has been expanding its market and is now catering to adult gamers. You can find game types like simulation, adventure, role-playing, and more.

Here is our list of top Nintendo games for adults:

The Legend of Zelda

As one of the most popular franchises of all time, most are familiar with The Legend of Zelda. The new Nintendo Switch’s, "Breath of the Wild," is by far the best edition of the game. The game starts off following a similar storyline as before. Link, the hero of the game, wakes up in a cave and travels to Hyrule. The great kingdom has been destroyed and overtaken by nature and other evil forces.

The game involves solving multiple puzzles, exploring Hyrule, and more to bring some normality to the world. In the newest edition, the puzzles are difficult, and Hyrule is introduced as an open world so that players can do whatever they want.
