Nintendo isn't offering discounts since this is a rerelease. Players must pay full price for the original Switch version plus an additional $10 for Switch 2 enhancements - potentially frustrating for longtime fans.

Upgrade Pack Also Sold Separately

The complete package includes both the original Switch game and Switch 2 upgrade. Existing owners can purchase just the $10 enhancement pack to save on the full bundle price.

Free Upgrade for Expansion Pack Subscribers

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members who already own Breath of the Wild receive the Switch 2 upgrade at no extra cost - a welcome benefit amid growing concerns about Nintendo's pricing strategy for the new console generation.

What Does the Switch 2 Edition Include?

This definitive package combines the complete original game with visual and performance upgrades for Switch 2, including:

• Higher frame rates
• Faster loading times
• Enhanced resolution and textures

Essentially, this becomes the best way to experience Breath of the Wild, surpassing the original Switch version in every technical aspect.

From our original review: "Breath of the Wild revolutionized open-world design while successfully reimagining a legendary franchise. Its sprawling sandbox world constantly surprises with new discoveries, where every adventure creates unique stories within stories. Even after 50+ hours of exploration, Hyrule still reveals unseen wonders worth dozens more hours of play."
