"Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition Preorder Now Available"

Excitement is building as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is slated for release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This edition not only includes the original Nintendo Switch game but also comes with enhanced features designed specifically for the Switch 2, along with access to Zelda Notes via the Nintendo Switch app. You can preorder this eagerly awaited title now, and it's available at Target among other retailers. Dive deeper into what makes this edition special.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

You can find The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at several major retailers:

• Target - $79.99
• Walmart - $79.00
• GameStop - $79.99

It's worth noting that this game's price is set higher than many other video games. Nintendo has adopted a variable pricing strategy for its Switch 2 titles. The original game was priced at $69.99, but with the Switch 2 enhancements, an additional $10 has been added. Personally, I find this pricing a bit steep.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This version of the game includes both the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you're already a proud owner of the original game for the Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, allowing you to enjoy the enhancements without buying the game anew.

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 comes at no extra cost. It's included as part of your membership benefits.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This special edition package contains the full original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, plus the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This upgrade enhances the gaming experience with faster frame rates, reduced load times, improved resolution, and upgraded textures, making the game look and perform 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 astounding sequel to one of the greatest games ever crafted, surpassing its predecessor in nearly every aspect. It features significant quality-of-life enhancements, a gripping story, and innovative building mechanics that redefine what's possible in gameplay. It expands upon familiar territories and introduces expansive new regions that dwarf the scope of Breath of the Wild, offering a plethora of tasks, mysteries, and delightful diversions. Nintendo has truly followed a triumph with another, elevating an already expansive world to new heights."
