Get ready for an enhanced adventure as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is scheduled to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This edition not only includes the original Nintendo Switch game but also comes with upgraded enhancements tailored for the Switch 2, along with the added feature of Zelda Notes accessible via the Nintendo Switch app. You can now preorder this exciting new edition (see it at Target). Dive into the details below to learn more about what this edition offers.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Priced at $79.99, this edition is available at various retailers including Target, Walmart, and GameStop. You might notice that the price is higher than the standard video game cost. This is due to Nintendo's pricing strategy for Switch 2 games, which can vary. The original game was already priced at $69.99, and with the Switch 2 enhancements, the price has been bumped up by an additional $10. While I'm not thrilled about the price increase, the enhanced features might be worth it for many fans.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This new edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game on your Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, which is a cost-effective way to experience the enhanced features.
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 pack comes at no extra cost. It's included as part of your subscription, making it even more accessible to enjoy the upgraded version.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This package contains the full original The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game for the Nintendo Switch, enhanced with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. You'll benefit from improved performance, including faster frame rates and reduced load times, along with enhanced resolution and 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.”
