Nintendo has priced this edition at full price, reflecting its status as an older game with a premium upgrade for the Switch 2. This might feel a bit steep, but it's the cost for enhanced gameplay on the new console.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

This edition bundles the original Switch game with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you already own the original game, you can opt for just the upgrade pack separately for $10, offering a more budget-friendly option.

Upgrade Pack Included with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

For those who own Breath of the Wild and are subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade comes at no extra cost. It's a nice perk amidst the additional expenses of 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."
