Zelda games are not on PC

No mainline Zelda game, remake, or Nintendo-published spin-off has a PC edition. Store pages for Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and the 2026 Ocarina of Time list Nintendo hardware. Steam is not Nintendo’s shelf for these games.

What you can do instead

Buy a Switch or Switch 2 and play the native games, or use Nintendo Switch Online for the older libraries described on the Switch page. Borrow a console. Buy a used card for a closed-shop machine if you already own the machine. The CD-i discs are Philips hardware, not Windows games, and they are not a loophole.

Ports built outside Nintendo exist. This site does not link them, does not explain them, and does not host the files they ask for. If you want a PC game that feels related, the games-like-Zelda page names titles that actually publish on PC, such as Tunic, Deaths Door, and Immortals Fenyx Rising.

FAQ

Is Breath of the Wild on Steam?

No Nintendo edition is on Steam. A search for that phrase is a search this page answers with a no.

Will Nintendo announce a PC version?

Nothing in the sources I used says so. I will not write a plan that has not been announced.
