The Nintendo 2DS XL is absolutely still worth buying right now. It might seem like it's too late to get into the Nintendo 3DS ecosystem, but it's not. If you pick one up, you'll get a fantastic console that still holds up. It is no longer Nintendo's marquee portable, but it still very much has a place in the gaming world today.

One of our favorite picks is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a fantastic adventure that redefined what an adventure game can be. It features a wonderful story, great puzzles, and some of the best music you'll ever hear, video game or otherwise.

After that, you should definitely check out The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D. The underrated adventure is just as good as Ocarina of Time, if not better, and is one of the most rewarding experiences out there.
