Pricing and Availability

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

• $79.99 at Target - Get it at Target
• $79.00 at Walmart - Get it at Walmart
• $79.99 at GameStop - Get it at GameStop

The price tag of $79.99 may seem steep compared to other games, but it's due to Nintendo's pricing strategy for Switch 2 titles. The original game was priced at $69.99, and this edition adds a $10 premium for the enhanced Switch 2 features. While I'm not thrilled about the price increase, the enhanced experience might just be worth it.

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."
