You might notice that the price is a bit steeper than what you're used to for video games. This is because Nintendo has adopted a variable pricing model for its Switch 2 titles. The original game was one of the few to reach the $69.99 mark, and with the Switch 2 enhancements, Nintendo has added an additional $10. While I'm not thrilled about the price hike, the upgrades promise to be worth it.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This version of the game bundles the original Switch game with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game for the Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for $10, which is a cost-effective way to enjoy the enhancements.
Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
For those who already own Tears of the Kingdom and are members of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade pack comes at no extra cost, included in your subscription.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This package includes the full original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. You'll benefit from improved performance, including faster frame rates and quicker load times, enhanced resolution, and richer textures. Simply put, 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."
