The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has made its mark as a must-play title for Nintendo Switch enthusiasts, and it’s currently being offered at its lowest price ever at select major retailers. Both Best Buy and Target have priced the physical edition of this game at just $40, slashing off $30 from its regular cost. Initially anticipated to be available for $50 as part of Nintendo’s official Black Friday lineup, this new pricing is a pleasant surprise. Given how rarely Nintendo games go on sale, it wouldn’t be shocking if it sells out before the Black Friday rush concludes, particularly since it’s likely to be a hot pick for those snagging a Switch console bundle at a $75 discount during the holiday shopping season.
But it gets even better—tomorrow, November 25 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, Walmart will drop the price of Tears of the Kingdom even further to $30. This enticing deal launches alongside Walmart’s Black Friday week extravaganza. The caveat here is that access is exclusive to Walmart+ members until 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. This could mean the offer might not be around by the time it’s open to everyone, so if you’re already a subscriber, ensure to visit Walmart’s site as soon as the sale kicks off to secure your copy.
Speaking of Walmart+, it’s worth mentioning that the membership is currently half off, costing just $49 per year. Subscribers benefit from early access to major sales, free two-day shipping for online orders, same-day delivery from local stores, and even a Paramount+ subscription, among other perks.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t just a highlight of the Switch roster; it’s celebrated as one of the top games ever. Building on the foundation of the equally stellar Breath of the Wild, it expands the open world beyond the boundaries of Hyrule itself and integrates fascinating building and physics mechanics. Thanks to Link’s Ultrahand ability, players can manipulate elements within the game to construct vehicles, bridges, and numerous other inventive structures. While Breath of the Wild already delivered a sense of exploration and freedom, Tears of the Kingdom elevates this even more. There’s not just a single way to conquer its ingenious puzzles, making the grand adventure captivating for potentially hundreds of gameplay hours.
In addition, if you’re looking for more gaming discounts, it’s important to note that Target is offering another $5 off select official Black Friday Switch game deals.
For those in the market for Switch peripherals, you can save $20 on controllers: the Switch Pro Controller is now available at $50, down from $70, and the Neon Red and Blue Joy-Cons are marked down to $60 from $80.
Lastly, don’t miss out on the opportunity to save $75 on Switch console bundles, rounding out a great selection of deals for Nintendo fans this Black Friday.
