Best games like Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to play on your phone

Every console has a flagship franchise, and Nintendo’s flagship series in recent decades is undisputedly The Legend of Zelda. The series has left players obsessed thanks to its breathtaking game design, storyline and side-quests, which involve exploring dungeons to uncover hidden mysteries and treasures, and so forth.

The Zelda series is diverse and complex, and with the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there’s plenty more for Nintendo gamers to cheer about. Zelda's complex battle and weapon upgrade systems coupled with its deep lore and diverse exploration elements may not be possible to incorporate into a mobile game.

However, there are still many action-adventure games for Android and iOS devices that are either inspired by Zelda or similar in many aspects. Thus, if you do not possess a Nintendo console, these mobile games should play second fiddle to Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
