Exciting news for fans of Hyrule—*The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition* is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This special edition builds upon the original hit game with enhanced performance and exclusive features tailored for the new console. It includes the full base game, optimized for the next generation, along with access to Zelda Notes through the Nintendo Switch app. Preorders are already live, so you can secure your copy now via [Target]([ttpp]).

What’s Included in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This version delivers the complete *Tears of the Kingdom* experience as originally released on the Nintendo Switch, now enhanced with improved frame rates, faster load times, higher resolution textures, and overall better visual fidelity. Whether docked or played handheld, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition ensures a smoother and more immersive journey through Hyrule.

Pricing & Where to Buy

• Target: $79.99
• Walmart: $79.00
• GameStop: $79.99

While this price point may seem steeper than standard titles, it reflects Nintendo’s new pricing model for Switch 2-compatible games. The original *Tears of the Kingdom* launched at $69.99, and the enhanced Switch 2 upgrade adds $10 to that cost. While not ideal for budget-conscious players, it does reflect the added value of next-gen enhancements.

Upgrade Pack Options

If you already own the original Switch version, you have options:

• Purchase the Upgrade Pack Separately: Available for $10, this allows existing owners to upgrade their game to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition without repurchasing the full title.
• Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Members: You get the upgrade completely free as part of your subscription—no extra cost required.

Why Upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

Beyond the visual and performance upgrades, this edition represents a new era of gaming on the Nintendo Switch 2. Enhanced textures, smoother gameplay, and quicker loading screens combine to offer a more polished and immersive adventure. As noted in our original 10/10 review: “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—be that with simple quality-of-life improvements, a genuinely exciting story, or wildly creative new building mechanics. It both revamps old ground and introduces vast new areas, raising the bar ever higher into the clouds.”

Exclusive Zelda Notes Feature

One of the standout additions is the Zelda Notes function, accessible via the Nintendo Switch app. This feature enhances your gameplay experience by offering notes, tips, and insights directly from the game world, helping you uncover secrets and complete challenges more efficiently.
