Preorders are open now, and you can secure your copy at Target for $79.99.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
You can find this edition at several retailers: Target for $79.99, Walmart for $79.00, and GameStop for $79.99. It's worth noting that the price is higher than what you might expect for typical video games. This is due to Nintendo's pricing strategy for Switch 2 titles, which varies. The original game was priced at $69.99, and the Switch 2 version adds an additional $10 for the enhanced features. While this pricing might not be ideal for everyone, the upgrade pack offers significant value.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
If you already own the original Switch version of the game, you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for just $10. This option allows you to save money while still benefiting from the enhanced performance and visuals on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
For those who already own Tears of the Kingdom and are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition comes at no extra cost. It's included as part of your membership, making it a fantastic perk for subscribers.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This package includes the complete original Switch game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade enhances the game with faster frame rates, quicker load times, improved resolution, and better textures. These enhancements ensure that the game looks and runs better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than on the original Switch.
From our original 10/10 review of Tears of the Kingdom: “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unfathomable follow-up to one of the greatest games ever made, somehow improving upon it in nearly every way – be that with simple quality-of-life improvements, a genuinely exciting story, or wildly creative new building mechanics that make you rethink what is possible. It both revamps old ground and introduces vast new areas so immense it somehow makes me wonder if Breath of the Wild was actually all that big, with an almost alarming number of tasks to complete, mysteries to discover, and delightful distractions to keep you from ever reaching that place you naively thought you were headed. Nintendo has followed up a triumph with a triumph, expanding and evolving a world that already felt full beyond expectation and raising the bar ever higher into the clouds.”
