The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for preorder and it will cost gamers a total of $70. There is no doubt that the sequel to Breath of the Wild is one of the most anticipated games out there right now. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild completely took the world by storm when it launched alongside the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo and Zelda fans have high expectations for the upcoming sequel to Breath of the Wild, and the recent Nintendo Direct definitely contributed to this.
On February 8, there was a Nintendo Direct presentation that drove fans to a whole other level of hype. There was a lot of information to take in, and Gameboy titles coming to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription were just one of them. There is definitely a lot to look forward to this year, and after all this time fans are particularly excited for Tears of the Kingdom.
The new Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer was the "one more thing" announcement at the Nintendo Direct, and most fans of the franchise were happy with what they were shown. At the end of the trailer, it was revealed that preorders for the Zelda game would be made available once the Direct came to an end. As gamers started to flow to Nintendo's online store and other retailers to take a look at the game and make their purchases, they noticed that the price for Tears of the Kingdom was $70. This shocked many people, especially since the Nintendo Switch is considered a last-gen console.
The price might be slightly beyond what some fans expected, and that is most likely why Nintendo decided to make the Nintendo Switch Online game vouchers available once again on the eShop. Tears of the Kingdom voucher's program, and it makes it so Nintendo Switch Online members only have to pay $99.98 when they obtain two Switch games. So, if gamers decide to grab the upcoming Zelda sequel plus any other eligible game, they'll already be saving about $20 on digital games.
This is just one piece of information revealed in connection to the latest Nintendo Direct. The vouchers aren't the only thing that Nintendo Switch Online members will be receiving; there's a lot of attention coming towards this subscription service as a new Mario Kart Booster Course Pass wave is revealed to be released this Spring.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to release on May 12, 2023, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
