Nintendo is maintaining the full price for this older game, with an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep for some fans.
This special edition includes the original Switch version of the game, coupled with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the game for the original Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, which is a cost-effective way to enjoy the enhanced features.
For those who already own Breath of the Wild and are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade comes at no extra cost. It's included in your subscription, providing a nice perk amidst the additional charges introduced with the new console.
This edition encapsulates the complete original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade enhances performance with faster frame rates, quicker load times, improved resolution, and better textures, making the game look and run better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than on its predecessor.
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 landmark game that redefines a 30-year-old franchise. It offers a mesmerizing sandbox filled with mysteries and endless exploration opportunities. My adventures in this game have been countless, each with its unique narrative, creating layers of stories within stories. Even after dedicating over 50 hours to exploring Hyrule's vast expanse, I continue to discover new elements. I anticipate spending another 50 to 100 hours uncovering more of its captivating moments."
