The Nintendo Switch remains one of the best consoles out there thanks to the ability to play it at home or on the go. Of course, in order to get the best value out of the hybrid console, players need to have games likeThe Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakeningfor it, if for no other reason than it’s the only current-gen platform the game can be played on. Of course, when it comes to holiday shopping, there is a bit of a drawback forLink’s Awakeningand other first-party Nintendo games.
Over the last few years, one of the staples of the holiday shopping season has been the hunt to find some of the best games available on offer for deep discounts. Microsoft and Sony have helped make this a near yearly tradition as both companies will routinely offer up massive discounts even on some of the most recent releases and most popular games. However, Nintendo does things a bit differently. It can be a little harder when shopping for thebest Nintendo Switch holiday giftsbecause the company doesn’t discount games all that often.
