Priced at $69.99, you can secure your copy at Target, Walmart, or GameStop. It's worth noting that Nintendo has decided not to offer any discounts on this title, despite it being a re-release. The full price reflects the cost of the original game plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This version of the game includes the original Switch game bundled with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack.

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."
