Nintendo Co is earning early accolades for making sure that its new Switch console debuted with a strong gaming title, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The big question now is whether that will translate into sales.
So far, signs are good. The latest iteration of Zelda has received almost universal praise among critics, becoming the fourth-highest ranked game ever on review aggregation website Metacritic.com. That makes it the best-reviewed title since 2008, when Grand Theft Auto IV was released for the PlayStation 3.
