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

Available on June 5, this edition is priced at $69.99 at Target, $69.00 at Walmart, and $69.99 at GameStop. Notably, Nintendo has not offered any discounts on this version, requiring full price for the original Switch game with an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep to some fans.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition bundles the original Switch game with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the game for the original Switch, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately for $10, offering a cost-saving option for existing players.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

For those who own Breath of the Wild and are subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition comes at no extra cost, included in your subscription. This is a considerate move amidst the additional expenses associated with the new console rollout.

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 groundbreaking game that reimagines a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a captivating sandbox filled with mystery, offering countless intriguing elements that invite exploration. Each adventure in Breath of the Wild feels unique, layered with stories upon stories. Even after more than 50 hours exploring Hyrule, I continue to discover new elements, and I anticipate spending another 50 to 100 hours uncovering its fascinating moments."
