If you’re on the hunt for top-tier Nintendo Switch games, “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” is definitely a game you’ll want to play, and it’s now available at its best price yet. Both Best Buy and Target are offering the physical edition for just $40, knocking $30 off the regular price. Even though it’s included in Nintendo’s official Black Friday lineup, most assumed it would be priced at $50. Discounts like these are as rare as a sighting of the legendary Triforce, so don’t be caught off guard if it sells out before the Black Friday deals wrap up, especially since it’s bound to be a favorite for anyone grabbing a Switch console bundle for the unbelievable price of $225 this holiday season.
But wait, there’s more savings on the horizon! Tomorrow, on November 25, Walmart is setting the stage to sell “Tears of the Kingdom” for a mere $30, starting at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. This deal is kicking off Walmart’s Black Friday week and is exclusively available to Walmart+ members until 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. It’s likely that this hot deal will be snapped up quickly, so if you’re one of the smart ones who already subscribes, hop over to Walmart’s listing as soon as the sale goes live.
Here’s a quick note for those considering a Walmart+ membership: it’s currently offered at a half-price rate of $49/year. Subscribers don’t just get early access to tempting deals; they also enjoy two-day shipping at no extra cost, same-day delivery from local stores, a subscription to Paramount+, and various other benefits.
For those unfamiliar, “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” isn’t just another game in the Switch library; it’s a seminal entry that deserves a spot in the hall of gaming fame. A successor to the iconic “Breath of the Wild,” this game expands Hyrule both skyward and into its subterranean depths, introducing ingenious building and physics systems that elevate gameplay. With Link’s trusty Ultrahand ability, players can craft vehicles, bridges, and all sorts of creative toolsets. “Breath of the Wild” was already known for its breadth of player freedom, but “Tears of the Kingdom” ups the ante. The puzzles can be tackled in myriad ways, each as satisfying as the last, providing endless hours of immersive exploration and strategic thinking.
Moreover, during this Black Friday extravaganza, Target is sweetening the deal by offering an extra $5 off select Switch titles. If you’re in the market for accessories, you can snag Switch Pro Controllers for $50, down from their usual $70, or pick up a set of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Cons for only $60, a $20 saving from their regular price. And if your gaming setup still needs that perfect Nintendo touch, check out the Switch Console Bundles and save a cool $75.
