The next Legend of Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom, is coming to Nintendo Switch on May 12th. It’s Nintendo’s biggest game this year and it’s getting the red carpet treatment.
In addition to a $130 collector’s edition of the game and the new amiibo, Nintendo is also releasing a limited edition Nintendo Switch OLED themed after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Although the new Switch OLED model isn’t out yet – it will be officially released on April 28 – you can already pre-order it to receive it on launch day.
This version of the Nintendo Switch OLED has a design inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You can pre-order it now and it’s scheduled for release on April 28th.
How to pre-order the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch OLED
Nintendo just unveiled the new Zelda-themed Switch OLED model, so not every retailer is offering it just yet. For now, Best Buy and Target are the only stores you can pre-order it from.
It’ll be out on April 28th and will cost $360 – that’s $10 more than a regular Nintendo Switch OLED. It doesn’t come with the game itself, but otherwise includes everything you’d expect from a Nintendo Switch.
Buying this new Switch OLED from Best Buy requires you to create an account on the store’s website and pick it up in person. They do not offer delivery, only in-store pickup.
Gamestop also has a store page for the Zelda-themed Switch OLED, but it doesn’t look like you can buy it online. Instead, you have to order it in store and pick it up.
Alongside the new Switch OLED, Nintendo is also offering a Zelda-themed pro controller and carrying case. These will be released on May 12th, the same day as the actual game. Expect both to sell out quickly.
Physical and digital copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are available to pre-order now from retailers including Amazon and Walmart, as well as the official Nintendo eShop.
One of the most anticipated games of 2023, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a sequel to the acclaimed action RPG The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
