Priced at $69.99, you can find this anticipated release at various outlets:

Target - $69.99
Walmart - $69.00
GameStop - $69.99

Despite being an older title, Nintendo is not offering any discounts, meaning you'll need to pay the full price for the original Switch game plus an additional $10 for the Switch 2 upgrade. It's a bit of a pinch, but the enhancements might just be worth it.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition of the game comes bundled with the original Switch version and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. If you're already a proud owner of the original game, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately for just $10, helping you save some money while still enjoying the new features.

Upgrade Pack Is Free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

For those who own Breath of the Wild and are members of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the upgrade comes at no extra cost. It's included in your subscription, which is a nice perk given Nintendo's approach to pricing with the new console rollout.

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 spending 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."
