Very few companies in video games have a long, vibrant, and intense history as Nintendo. Founded in 1889, Nintendo is turning 131 years old this month.
This Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company, which now develops, produces, and markets software and hardware, was started by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi originally built handmade hanafuda playing cards.
A far cry from its humble beginnings, the company gained prominence as an international leader in the interactive entertainment industry. Starting from it’s classic consoles like the GameBoy to the famous Nintendo Wii. There has been so much Nintendo has given us. Despite having to fix Nintendo Wii errors occasionally, the console itself has a great legacy. Nintendo’s dominance in interactive entertainment is mainly due to its original and colossally successful hit games. Let us take a look at five classic games of all time.

Nintendo is known for its steady and methodical work. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is proof that sometimes slow and steady wins the race. Years in making, the game beats the preconceived ideas of open-world adventures and combines the best bits of conventions along with an element of surprise. Unlike other games in the Zelda series, the breath of the wild gives you the tools to do anything you want right from the beginning. This paves the way for users to try out new things in the arena. The visuals, lights, and effects accentuate the onscreen scenery beautifully.
