Yes, you read that right: $519.99. That’s almost as much as a used car from 1995. But before you type an angry tweet, let’s be real—this is Nintendo. They don’t do cheap anniversaries. They do elegant, limited, and slightly insane bundles that make you question your financial priorities.
For that price, you’re not just getting a game. You’re buying a 20th anniversary art book, a golden Joy-Con set that glows like the Triforce, and a steelbook case that looks like it was carved from the Temple of Time. Oh, and the game itself, a remastered Breath of the Wild with a brand-new dungeon. But hey, who cares about the game when you get a golden cartridge sleeve? (That’s a joke. Mostly.)
Wait, the Switch 2 is Already Here?
I know, I know—you just bought a Switch OLED last week. Me too, actually. Thanks for that, Nintendo. The “Switch 2” moniker is still a little fuzzy (is it a new console, or just a “Pro” version?). But this edition makes it clear: this is a dedicated hardware revision with a higher-res screen and better battery life. That’s cool, but also slightly annoying because now my launch-day Switch feels like a Game Boy Color.
Ocarina of Time Coming to Switch 2 For The Zelda 40th Anniversary
Here’s the thing: the pricing suggests this is a collector’s item, not a casual buy. If you’re the type who keeps your amiibo in a glass case, you’re already pre-ordering. If you’re like me and still have that original NES cartridge with the faded label? You’re probably staring at your credit card, sweating.
