Get ready for an enhanced adventure with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, set to release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This special edition includes the original game with significant upgrades tailored for the Switch 2, along with Zelda Notes accessible through the Nintendo Switch app. Preorders are now available, so don't miss out on securing your copy (check it out at Target). Let's dive into the details of what makes this edition special.
Priced at $79.99, you can find it at:
You might notice the price is higher than what you're used to for video games. This reflects Nintendo's new pricing strategy for Switch 2 titles, which varies. The original game was priced at $69.99, and the Switch 2 Edition adds $10 for its enhanced features. While the price increase isn't my favorite thing, the upgrades might just be worth it.
If you already own the original Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch, you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for $10, allowing you to save some money while still enjoying the enhancements.
For those who own the game and are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition comes at no additional cost. It's included in your subscription, making it a fantastic deal for members.
This edition includes the full original The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. You'll benefit from upgraded performance, including faster frame rates and load times, enhanced resolution, and improved textures. In essence, 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. Whether through simple quality-of-life improvements, a genuinely exciting story, or wildly creative new building mechanics that make you rethink what's 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."
