Launching on June 5, you can secure your copy at:

• Target - $69.99
• Walmart - $69.00

Note that Nintendo isn't offering any discounts, as this is an older game. You'll be paying the full price for the original Switch version, plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade. It's a bit of a sting, but the enhancements might just be worth it.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This version comes bundled with the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game, you can buy the upgrade pack separately for $10, allowing you to save a bit of money while enjoying the enhanced features.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

If you're a proud owner of Breath of the Wild and a subscriber to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, you're in luck! The upgrade comes at no extra cost, included in your subscription. It's a nice perk, especially amidst the additional costs associated with the new console rollout.

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

The upgrade enhances performance with faster frame rates, quicker load times, improved resolution, and better textures. Simply put, the game looks and runs better 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 I’ve spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend 50 to 100 more trying to track down its fascinating moments."
