You'll immediately notice the premium price point compared to standard game releases. Nintendo has implemented a variable pricing structure for Switch 2 titles. As one of few original Switch games priced at $69.99, Nintendo maintains this base cost while adding a $10 premium for Switch 2 enhancements - a pricing strategy some consumers may find questionable.

Standalone Upgrade Option Available

This edition bundles the original Switch version with a Switch 2 enhancement pack. Existing owners can purchase just the $10 upgrade pack separately.

Free Upgrade for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Members

Subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack automatically receive the upgrade at no additional cost when owning the original Tears of the Kingdom.

What Does This Edition Include?

This comprehensive package delivers the complete Tears of the Kingdom experience with significant Switch 2 improvements including boosted frame rates, reduced loading times, enhanced resolution, and refined textures - essentially maximizing performance beyond the original Switch capabilities.

From our acclaimed 10/10 review: "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom elevates its predecessor to astonishing new heights through meaningful quality-of-life improvements, compelling narrative developments, and revolutionary construction mechanics that redefine creative possibilities. The expansive world feels simultaneously familiar and breathtakingly fresh, packed with discoveries that make Breath of the Wild's scale appear modest by comparison. Nintendo has miraculously improved upon perfection."
