10 First-Party 3DS Games You Need To Play Before The NX Releases

Ever since the Nintendo 3DS launched in early 2011, Nintendo's latest handheld gaming console has had a solid library bolstered by fantastic first-party software. That's not to say that third-parties stayed away from the system (this certainly wasn't a Wii U situation), but the reason why most people buy a Nintendo system is to play games starring a mustachioed plumber and a heroic elf with a penchant for wearing green. Thankfully, Nintendo has delivered in the past five years and have put out dozens of titles for their dual-screened device.

While a lot of Zelda‘s impact on the 3DS has come in the form of enhanced ports, there have also been two original titles as well. The best of the two is The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The follow-up to A Link to the Past is phenomenal, and it’s the best Zelda game (2D or 3D) in well over a decade. The blend of action and puzzle solving is superb, and it’s one of the few games that is actually enhanced by the stereoscopic 3D that the handheld is capable of producing.

The other original Zelda title is The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, a multiplayer-centric title in the vein of Four Sword Adventures. It’s not quite as good, but if you have two friends to play with, it’s still a fun time!
