The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Priced at $69.99, you can find this edition at Target, Walmart, and GameStop. Note that there are no discounts available from Nintendo, as this is an enhanced version of an older game. The full price covers the original Switch game, with an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep for some fans.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
For those who already own the original Switch version of the game, there's an option to purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately for $10. This allows you to enjoy the enhanced features without buying the game again.
Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
If you're a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber and already own *Breath of the Wild*, you're in luck. The upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition comes at no extra cost, included in your subscription. This is a welcome perk amidst the additional costs associated with the new console's rollout.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

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."
