    Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Nintendo has announced The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are both getting upgraded Switch 2 ports.

    Both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are coming to Nintendo Switch 2 day and date when the console launches, on June 5th.

    The upgraded native Switch 2 ports will be available as a standalone purchase or as a free upgrade to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was originally released for Nintendo Switch and Wii U back in 2017. Get our review here! The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was released for the Switch back in 2023. Get our review here!

    Here’s a blurb on the two upgraded games, plus a trailer:

    See the Kingdom of Hyrule in a whole new way with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, available with performance upgrades on Nintendo Switch 2. Smoother frame rates, faster load times, and better graphics will make for a fresh experience when revisiting these adventures, and now players will also have a little extra help. Also on the way is an update to the Nintendo Switch App, called ZELDA NOTES. This game-specific service is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of the games and helps players navigate to various locations, like that difficult-to-find shrine or hidden Korok, and will even feature commentary from Princess Zelda herself that was not part of the original games.
