Get ready for an enhanced adventure with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This edition not only includes the original game released on the Nintendo Switch but comes with significant upgrades tailored for the Switch 2, along with the added feature of Zelda Notes accessible via the Nintendo Switch app. You can preorder this eagerly awaited title right now, available at retailers like Target. Dive into the details below.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
You can snag this premium gaming experience at various retailers:
- Target - $79.99
- Walmart - $79.00
- GameStop - $79.99
You might notice that the price tag is a bit steeper than what you're used to with other video games. This is due to Nintendo's new pricing strategy for Switch 2 titles, which varies based on the game. The original Tears of the Kingdom was priced at $69.99, and with the Switch 2 enhancements, Nintendo has added an extra $10. Personally, I'm not thrilled about the price hike, but the upgrades might just be worth it.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This special edition comes bundled with the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game on your Switch, you can opt to purchase just the upgrade pack separately for $10, saving you some cash in the process.
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, adding even more value to your subscription.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This package offers the complete original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This upgrade brings enhanced performance, including faster frame rates, quicker load times, improved resolution, and better textures. Essentially, the game looks and runs better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than it ever did 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."
