The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Release Date: Out June 5
Price: $69.99 at Target, Walmart, and GameStop.

Please note that Nintendo is not offering any discounts for this title. You'll need to pay the full price for the original Switch game, with an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This version of the game comes bundled with the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game on Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for $10, allowing you to save some money.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

If you're both a current owner of Breath of the Wild and a member of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade comes at no extra cost. It's included in your subscription, which is a nice perk amidst the additional expenses introduced with the new console.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This package includes the complete original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade enhances performance with faster frame rates, reduced load times, and improved resolution and textures, making the game look and run better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than it ever did on the original Switch.

From our original review of Breath of the Wild: "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."
