If you play more third party games get a steam deck. If you want to play the new Nintendo games get a switch 2.

First party titles are basically the only reason to buy ANY Nintendo console. However there are alternatives. For example if you don't have a Nintendo console but want to (legally) play a 3D Zelda game, just play one of the Batman Arkham games as it's basically the same core gameplay loop. For a 2D Zelda game play Tunic.

I think tunic is better than any 2D or 3D Zelda.

For purely nostalgic reasons I have difficulty agreeing but honestly yeah. Some of the best puzzles I've ever had the pleasure of solving.

Oh yeah, Zelda has a special place in my heart, but tunic just did such an amazing job revealing just enough to keep you hunting for the next step.

If you haven't loom up some of the speed runs for Tunic. A lot of the game can be skipped simply by knowing what you already need to do, a bit like Outer Wilds.
