Out June 5
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Available for $69.99 at various retailers including Target, Walmart, and GameStop. Unfortunately, Nintendo isn't offering any discounts on this re-release, meaning you'll pay full price for the original game plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade. It might sting a bit, but the enhancements could be worth it.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the game on the original Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, helping you save a few bucks.
Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
If you're both an owner of Breath of the Wild and a member of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, you're in luck! The upgrade pack comes at no additional cost as part of your subscription. It's a nice perk, especially given the additional fees associated with the new console rollout.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
This package includes the full original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade brings enhanced performance with faster frame rates, quicker load times, improved resolution, and better textures. Essentially, the game looks and runs smoother 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 exploring 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 tracking down its fascinating moments.”
