The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) and Twilight Princess (GameCube)
The next best thing to launching a console with a Legend of Zelda game is releasing one as a system is reaching its last legs.
Both of these games, however, were launch titles (Switch and Wii) and swan songs (Wii U and GameCube) for the consoles on which they released.
These games were both great sendoffs to two Nintendo consoles that unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations.
The internet’s opinion of Twilight Princess has soured a bit over the years, but the people of the internet are fickle. Twilight Princess made GameCube owners happy and Breath of the Wild made the Wii U diehards happy as well.
In the end, that’s all you can ask for when it comes to a final major release for a console. Sure, BotW is viewed as arguably the best title in the franchise and TP is currently on more rocky ground, but both are excellent adventures.
