The Nintendo Switch 2 has proven to be very popular, selling over 5 million units since its recent release. The ninth-generation console can be seen as a success, but it's clear it has yet to fully tap into one aspect that would have made it truly a hit: a big Legend of Zelda game.
Amazing as it may be, the Switch 2 is sorely lacking in terms of games. It has many third-party entries, and most of them are well-accepted, but what fans are really anticipating are its first-party titles. Games like Mario Kart World and the more recent Donkey Kong Bananza have certainly helped show why the system is a must-have, but it still feels as if they're not compelling enough reasons for more people to get it.
And that's where The Legend of Zelda can come in. It is the franchise responsible for helping Nintendo have the many fans it has by producing quality titles such as Tears of the Kingdom, Ocarina of Time, and Skyward Sword.
It has also helped different generations of Nintendo's consoles establish themselves as something to be loved and wanted, and it's reasonable to expect the same for the Nintendo Switch 2. When the system eventually gains an exclusive Legend of Zelda entry, given that there's very little chance of it not receiving one, the results will likely be it being pushed to even greater heights of success.
As for why such an expectation exists, it is due to the franchise's proven track record of using innovation to garner success. Take, for example, what it did when it released Breath of the Wild for the original Nintendo Switch. The game was able to take advantage of the system's capabilities to design features, mechanics, and environments that defined the open-world genre and captured the hearts of many towards owning the console.

+ 2A Switch 2 Zelda exclusive has the huge potential to do the same thing. With the tools and power available, a new entry can be capable of doing many things that will let it brighten the future of Nintendo's ninth-generation system and help it leave a more lasting impact in the industry.
As for what it will do, that's where speculation becomes interesting. The Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda game could utilize the Joy-Con mouse feature, allowing for more engaging gameplay mechanics or puzzles that wouldn't have been possible in previous generations. Or perhaps it could take advantage of the more powerful hardware, creating an entry that tests the limits of how far the system can go in terms of processing additional models and graphical environments on screen.

For now, people will just have to wait until Nintendo announces the next entry. But when that happens and the game becomes playable, it will likely become the best reason why the Switch 2 is something everyone should own and not ignore.
