The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Preorder Guide
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases on May 12 and costs $70. There's also a fancy Collector's Edition and a special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED.
We're now less than a month away from the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo has debuted the final trailer, so all that's left to do now is wait as patiently as possible. If you're a big fan of the series, you will likely want to preorder Tears of the Kingdom ahead of its May 12 launch, especially since you can secure some cool preorder bonuses. And there are several other Tears of the Kingdom products, including a couple that you can get your hands on later this month. The game is joined by a gorgeous special-edition Switch OLED console, Switch Pro controller, Link Amiibo, and carrying case. We've rounded up all of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom preorder details you need to know below.
The console has remained in stock far longer than the $130 Collector's Edition and Switch Pro controller, both of which sold out very quickly. But if you're interested in the special-edition console, we'd recommend locking in your preorder ASAP. We'd also suggesting grabbing the Link Amiibo, as it only recently became available again after being out of stock for weeks.
Back to the game: All major retailers had been taking preorders at the original $60 price point, so if you happened to order a copy before the change, you lucked out. You can actually still get Tears of the Kingdom for $60 if you preorder from Super Shop using promo code GMSPTZLDA. The only downside here is that Super Shop doesn't offer release-date delivery. Alternatively, you can use the Switch eShop's voucher promotion to get digital copies of Tears of the Kingdom and another game for $100.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preorder Bonuses
Multiple retailers have unique preorder bonuses for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Best Buy is giving away an exclusive art print, GameStop has a wooden plaque, and Walmart has a wall scroll. A gold limited-edition wall scroll (numbered to 5,000) sold out very quickly, but it has since been replaced by a black wall scroll. Keep in mind that all three of these preorder bonuses are only available while supplies last. Since they are physical goodies, not in-game content, it's likely that some or all of them will sell out before launch.
Preorder The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
$70
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's standard edition is available to preorder for $70 in both physical and digital formats.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED
$360
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's special-edition Switch OLED has a gorgeous design featuring unique Joy-Con controllers, a white and gold dock, and a swirling circular pattern on the back panel of the console. It costs $360, but please note it doesn't come with a copy of the game. The console will launch on April 28, two weeks before the game.
It's available to preorder now at multiple major retailers. Surprisingly, it hasn't sold out yet. That said, all previous special-edition Switch consoles have eventually sold out, so don't expect to see this one on store shelves later this year.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch Pro Controller
$75
The special-edition Pro controller is black with gold accenting and a white handle on the right side of the controller. It releases the same day as the game on May 12 and costs $75.
At this time, the controller is harder to find than the console. Every time it becomes available to order, it sells out very quickly.
Preorder Link Amiibo
$16
A new Link Amiibo themed for Tears of the Kingdom will be available on launch day, too. Preorders are available now at multiple major retailers.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED Carrying Case
$25
The special-edition carrying case also releases on May 12 and costs $25. Though it's designed for the Switch OLED, like other Nintendo-branded carrying cases of this type, you can also use it for the base model Switch.
Preorder The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition
$130
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition has gone up at most major retailers, including Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, and Target. Sadly yet predictably, the Collector's Edition sold out extremely fast and has yet to return to online shelves. However, we wouldn't be surprised to see it come back in stock as we get closer to launch.
