The much-anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is slated for an exclusive release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This special edition not only includes the beloved original game but also comes with enhanced features tailored for the Switch 2, along with the added benefit of Zelda Notes accessible through the Nintendo Switch app. You can secure your copy by preordering now, with options available at retailers like Target. Let's dive into the details.

You might notice that the price tag is a bit steeper than what you're accustomed to for video games. This is due to Nintendo's new pricing strategy for Switch 2 titles, which uses a varying scale. The original game was priced at $69.99, and with the Switch 2 enhancements, Nintendo has added an additional $10. While I'm not thrilled about this increase, it's important to consider the value added.
This edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game on Switch, you can opt to buy the upgrade pack separately for just $10, offering a cost-effective way to experience the enhanced version.
For those who own Tears of the Kingdom and are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition comes at no extra cost, bundled within your subscription.
This package offers the complete original Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade pack enhances performance with faster frame rates and reduced load times, as well as improved resolution and textures, ensuring the game looks and performs better on the Nintendo Switch 2 than it did on the original Switch.
From our original 10/10 review of Tears of the Kingdom: "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unfathomable follow-up to one of the greatest games ever made, somehow improving upon it in nearly every way – from simple quality-of-life enhancements, a genuinely exciting story, to wildly creative new building mechanics that make you rethink what is possible. It both revamps old ground and introduces vast new areas so immense it somehow makes me wonder if Breath of the Wild was actually all that big, with an almost alarming number of tasks to complete, mysteries to discover, and delightful distractions to keep you from ever reaching that place you naively thought you were headed. Nintendo has followed up a triumph with a triumph, expanding and evolving a world that already felt full beyond expectation and raising the bar ever higher into the clouds."
