Excitement is building as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is slated for an exclusive release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This special edition not only includes the original game but also comes with enhanced features tailored for the Switch 2, and access to Zelda Notes through the Nintendo Switch app. Preorders are currently open, and you can secure your copy at retailers like Target. Dive in to learn more about what this edition has to offer.
Priced at $79.99, you can find this edition at Target, Walmart, and GameStop. It's worth noting that this price point is higher than what you might be used to with standard video game releases. This pricing strategy reflects Nintendo's approach to its Switch 2 titles, adding an additional $10 to the original $69.99 price tag for the enhanced Switch 2 version. While the increase might not be everyone's favorite, it's what we're seeing with this new iteration.
This edition bundles the original Switch game with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you're already a proud owner of the original game on Switch, you have the option to purchase just the upgrade pack separately for $10, which can help you save some money.
For those who 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, included as part of your membership benefits.
This package offers the complete The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom experience from the original Switch, alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. You can expect improved performance, including faster frame rates, reduced load times, enhanced resolution, and better textures. This means the game will look and play better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than it ever did on the original console.
Reflecting on 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.”
