The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is on sale
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been dominating the gaming zeitgeist since its release in May, but it’s finally time for a wave of patient deal hunters to descend on Hyrule. Amazon and Walmart are now discounting the Nintendo title that normally runs $69.99, selling it for around $59.99. Full disclosure: the Walmart deal is through a third-party seller, but that doesn’t give me too much cause for concern given that it has mostly positive ratings and is fulfilled by the major retailer.
There has been a way to get the digital version of the game for cheaper this whole time, but if you prefer a physical cartridge for your Nintendo Switch games, this deal is the way to go. Though, if prior Zelda discounts are anything to go by (as few as there have been), these deals will not stick around long.
Tears of the Kingdom has been a cultural force since its release, and it’s lived up to pretty much all its hype — sometimes in pretty unique and unexpected ways. While it’s a sequel to 2017’s Breath of the Wild, you don’t really have to play that first to get into this new Ultrahand-infused installment. It’s once again an open-world take on Hyrule, though now with a big emphasis on creation and crafting that unlocks new forms of transportation and combat. And if you’re the type to really enjoy your time in a sandbox, be prepared to pour many, many hours into it. With this deal, you’ll be getting even more value for your money.
