Nintendo has decided not to offer any discounts on this title, despite it being an older game. You'll need to shell out the full price for the original Switch version, plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade, which might feel a bit steep.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition includes the original Switch game alongside the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the game on the original Switch, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, saving you some money in the process.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

If you're both an owner of Breath of the Wild and a member of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, you're in luck! The upgrade pack comes at no extra cost as part of your subscription. This is a nice perk, especially given the additional costs associated with the new console launch.

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."
