Price: $69.99 at Target | $69.00 at Walmart | $69.99 at GameStop
Nintendo is keeping the price at full retail despite the game's age, reflecting the added value of the Switch 2 enhancements. However, the additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade might feel a bit steep for some.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This edition includes the complete original The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Switch, enhanced with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This upgrade promises improved performance, including faster frame rates and load times, as well as enhanced resolution and textures, making the game look and run better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than ever before on the original Switch.
From our original Breath of the Wild review: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a watershed game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a wonderful sandbox full of mystery, dangling dozens upon dozens of tantalizing things in front of you that just beg to be explored. I’ve had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each one has a unique story behind what led me to them, making them stories on top of stories. And even after spending more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend another 50 to 100 hours trying to track down its fascinating moments.”
