Get ready for an enhanced gaming experience with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This edition not only includes the original game but also comes with Switch 2 enhancements and the added feature of Zelda Notes accessible via the Nintendo Switch app. Preorders are now open, and you can secure your copy at Target.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Priced at $79.99, this edition reflects Nintendo's new pricing strategy for Switch 2 games, which is slightly higher than what you might be accustomed to. The original game was priced at $69.99, and with a $10 increase for the Switch 2 enhancements, it's understandable if you find this a bit steep.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

If you already own the original Tears of the Kingdom for the Switch, you have the option to buy the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for $10. This way, you can enjoy the enhanced features without repurchasing the entire game.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack

For those who own Tears of the Kingdom and are members of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade pack is included at no extra cost as part of your subscription. This is a great perk for members looking to upgrade their gaming experience.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This edition packs the complete original Switch game along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. You'll benefit from upgraded performance, including faster frame rates and load times, as well as enhanced resolution and textures. This version promises a smoother and visually richer experience on the Nintendo Switch 2.

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."
