The only place you're going to find Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution is the Switch. Wondering why Konami made the decision to make this version of the game exclusive? Konami Producer Charles Murakami explained in a DualShockers interview.

“Link Summoning being added created lots of differences from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist. For Link Evolution, we tried to retain as much of the original game and add new content to it, but underneath it’s almost an entirely new game. So, it’s not the same as before where we can just add the cards via an update or DLC.

We wanted to leverage the portability and home console style of the Switch, making it an intriguing choice for both local and online play…With the Switch being a hybrid console, we knew players will expect a feature that is in other portable Yu-Gi-Oh! games–local multiplayer. So, making sure all the multiplayer modes work both online and local play was essential.”
