I had questioned if the Nintendo Change Recreation Vouchers would apply to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom after they have been rolled out of retirement final week. It seems they do, and with it being Nintendo’s first $70 recreation, the timing couldn’t be higher.
Nintendo accidently revealed Zelda’s new worth level final night time and shortly deleted it from its web site. Some questioned if it was a glitch or information entry error, however then pre-order pages for Tears of the Kingdom began disappearing everywhere in the web. Some gamers rushed to order the sport whereas it was nonetheless priced at $60. Right now that’s not an possibility, however the Change Vouchers present one almost-as-good different.
Nintendo’s voucher program allows you to give Nintendo $100 in alternate for 2 vouchers, every of which you’ll redeem for a recreation from a selected checklist. That checklist now consists of Tear of the Kingdom, which means you possibly can successfully get some of the anticipated video games of 2023 for simply $40 for those who’re keen to successfully purchase one other recreation at full worth.
The checklist of qualifying video games consists of numerous outdated stuff that’s continuously on sale, but in addition loads of newer hits like Splatoon 3, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Splatoon 3, and Fireplace Emblem Have interaction. What was a most financial savings of $20 is now $30 with Tears of the Kingdom within the combine. The vouchers last as long as 12 months, although it’s not precisely clear when Nintendo will cease promoting them.
G/O Media could get a fee
Alternatively, you can simply pay the total $70 worth. If any recreation is value that a lot, and possibly much more, it might nicely be the sequel to Breath of the Wild, 2017’s recreation of the yr and simply top-of-the-line of the final decade.
