Out June 5

You can also find it at Walmart for $69.00 and at GameStop for $69.99. Note that Nintendo isn't offering any discounts on this title, despite it being an older game. You're looking at full price for the original Switch game, plus an extra $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep.

If you already own the original Switch version of the game, you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for just $10. This allows you to enjoy the enhanced features without buying the full game again.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

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 groundbreaking game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It offers a captivating sandbox filled with mystery, presenting numerous intriguing elements that invite exploration. Every adventure in Breath of the Wild comes with its own unique narrative, creating layers of stories. Even after over 50 hours of exploring Hyrule, I continue to discover new elements, and I'm eager to spend another 50 to 100 hours uncovering more of its fascinating moments."
