> But if you want to play through the Zelda series you’d have to collect almost every Nintendo console.

Minor nit-pick, but IIRC the Wii-U can play every Nintendo made Zelda game except for Tears of the Kingdom.

WII U can't play 3ds games, so no that's not correct. It also can't play gamecube games unless you hack it, if I recall correctly, so that excludes the obsure 4 Swords gamecube came which was never ported.

Incidently Steam Deck can't do 3ds games well either, apparently AMD support for the 3ds emulators are very bad.

Does this include gameboy games like Link's Awakening? I don't remember if it was developed by Nintendo but Oracle of seasons & ages too.

Yeah, that’s including the game boy games as they are (were?) available on Virtual Console. I put the “Nintendo made” qualifier to exclude the CD-i games
