Excitement is building as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is slated for an exclusive release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This edition not only brings the acclaimed original game to the new console but also enhances it with features tailored for the Switch 2, along with additional content like Zelda Notes accessible via the Nintendo Switch app. You can secure your copy now by preordering, with options available at retailers like Target.
Launching on June 5, this edition is priced at $69.99 at Target, and you can also find it at Walmart for $69.00 and GameStop for $69.99. It's worth noting that there's no discount on this title, reflecting its status as a re-release of an older game, with an additional $10 charge for the Switch 2 upgrade.
If you already own the original Switch version of the game, you can opt to purchase just the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for $10, offering a more budget-friendly way to experience the enhanced version.
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 as part of your subscription—a welcome perk amidst the costs associated with the new console's rollout.
This package includes the full original Switch game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, coupled with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade enhances the game's performance, offering faster frame rates, reduced load times, and improved resolution and textures, making for a visually and technically superior experience on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Reflecting on our original review of Breath of the Wild: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stands as a masterclass in open-world design, reinvigorating a franchise with over 30 years of history. It crafts a sandbox brimming with mystery and endless exploration opportunities. My adventures in Hyrule have been filled with unique stories and surprises, even after over 50 hours of play. The game's depth promises countless more hours of discovery and engagement.”
