The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is undoubtedly one of the biggest releases of the calendar year, if not he bigger. And yet, we still know little. The secrecy surrounding the story is incredibly intriguing. What’s going on in Hyrule? How was Ganon resurrected? Is Zelda playable? Zelda is dead? A lot of questions!
One thing we do know is the price. Following the latest Nintendo Direct, the Japanese game maker has confirmed that Tears of the Kingdom will be the first $69.99 / £59.99 game on Nintendo Switch. Oh. With everyone’s bank accounts tighter than ever, this wasn’t the news we wanted. That said, there is a workaround (surprisingly provided by Nintendo) that helps make New Zelda a bit cheaper, and it all has to do with Nintendo Switch game coupons.
As described in our Tears of the Kingdom pre-order guide, the Nintendo Switch game voucher system allows anyone with a Nintendo Switch Online membership to get two vouchers for $99.98 / £84.00 (opens in a new tab). These can be redeemed for two eligible Switch games – opens in a new tab – including Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp, Fire Emblem Engage, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 , and more.
By doing this, you’re essentially paying $50 each for games that cost $69.99/$59.99 or $59.99/£49.99 each. For example, Zelda and Pikmin 4 combined come standard at $129.98 / £109.98, while opting for the Nintendo Switch game voucher method saves $30.00 / £25.98. Additionally, you’ll earn Nintendo Gold Points worth 5% of the total amount spent, which equates to approximately $5 / £4. This can be claimed to spend on more games. It’s the cheapest solution if you’re definitely going to get one of those games from Nintendo rarely, if ever, lowering the RRP of their own titles. You can find Nintendo’s official offer below.
