Nintendo is not providing any discount, as this is a previously released title. You must pay the full retail price for the base Switch game, plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 enhancement. This feels like a steep ask.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the Switch version, you can buy the upgrade pack on its own for $10 to save.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

For those who own Breath of the Wild and subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade is included at no extra cost. This is a welcome benefit, especially given Nintendo's pricing strategy for the new console.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?

This package contains the full original Switch version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, plus the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade. This delivers performance improvements such as higher frame rates, faster loading, and enhanced resolution and textures. In short, the game looks and performs significantly better on the Switch 2 than it ever did on the original hardware.

From our original BotW review: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild redefines open-world design and stands as a landmark entry that revitalizes a legendary series. It offers a captivating sandbox filled with mystery, constantly inviting you to uncover its many secrets. My countless adventures in Hyrule were each layered with unique backstories, creating narratives within narratives. Even after more than 50 hours exploring its vast landscapes, I continued to stumble upon surprises. I could easily spend another 50 to 100 hours chasing its captivating moments.”
