Deals: Get A Discount On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Digital Edition

If you are in Europe and there is a second game you want: Buy the Nintendo Game Vouchers - two games for 100 Euros.

Nice deal. But eshop cards generally go on sale for 10% off at NewEgg one day each month. I always buy from them so everything I buy on eshop is already 10% off prior to any eshop deal. Combined with the $100 voucher means Zelda is $45 if you are willing to go digital.

Digital should always be cheaper than a physical copy. Punish developers who dare to think otherwise.

Does this code work in Canada? Considering this is a UK site it would only make sense. I guess it doesn't really matter. I'd only be saving like $2.50 off $89.99.

Already got one via Costco/vouchers. Paid $40 for it, which is nice.

@Poodlestargenerica If you're doing digital there's a way better deal anyway. Just use a Game Voucher and you can get TOTK for $50.

@bimmy-lee It's almost like the BBGCCCCB deal from a few years back. In fact, this reminds me of 2018 to a 'T.'

Fyi, if you have a Target Redcard in the US, you can get 5% off the physical copy itself or gift cards. (Or anything else Target sells, but that’s beside the point.)

This is a deceptive article. This isn't at all for "saving" money, it's just a quick-and-easy attempt by NL to get money by advertising a "deal" (like €3.50 is that significant of a discount). Shame.

@JasonLee99 That “once a month” from Newegg.com sounds about right. I bought my 2 $50 cards for $90 about a month ago and got another email offer recently. Vouchers for Zelda and Pikmin. Can’t believe Pikmin 4 is really finally coming out after being nearly complete in like 2015. I’m more excited for Pikmin than Zelda but it’s a great 1-2 combo for the vouchers as those are the only 2 Switch games on my radar since XC3. Still waiting on holiday games.🤷🏻‍♂️

10 whole dollars off...on the digital version which makes it the standard price. Oh joy. -_-

Voucher deal was already a thing. It shaves $20 off the price. More if you buy it was discounted eshop credit. That's worth passing up the plastic card and case.

@KingStannis Uh...vouchers are available in the Americas as well.

If it's still too expensive, ask RGT85 how you can get a copy for free.

@Cashews
Unfortunately it’s not that simple. There’s pressure from retailers to keep digital prices at RRP, "or no one will buy physical copies and we’ll go out of business".

Really stupid when actual plastic, paper and computer chips, shipped and stored (and then discounted by those same retailers!), comes in as cheaper than digital, but somehow makes sense from a business perspective.

Bad for the environment, bad for users, but those retailers are kept happy.

@Poodlestargenerica Vouchers are available in the Americas lol.

For the discounted credit - voucher - whatever creative combinations people found to cut the cost to 45-ish, I'd STILL expect a physical copy with nice inner box art and a full colour manual at least, even IF we're talking about the best game ever. It's one thing for creators and publishers not to de-value their work, it's another to raise prices for consumers and cut all the production costs where they already made tons of profit in the past, and pretend they "have to" and insult us as being stupid.

And yes, I've been a Zelda and Nintendo "fan" since my first game ever, Link's Awakening on the the original GB (Grey Brick). I'm just not stupid enough to believe a profit-based market is durable in any way, let alone if profits need to grow as well, and the growth needs to grow, and that growth also... Or they start speaking of "losses" while crying gold coins.

@DarkTron a penny saved is a penny earned.
Maybe we should adjust that saying for inflation.

Thx for the discount! Bought a code to support you. Have to chime in and tell that you do actually get the code directly! BUT you cannot redeem it now (Just get an error that you cannot redeem it now). Seems you have to wait until release day.

Might be good to say that in the text!!

The vouchers are a way better deal

I'm gonna pay 60 eur for physical at my local store. Well worth the money

Digital games should always be at least Half Off Physical

I’ve preordered the digital copy. It’s downloaded and on my Home Screen but sadly unplayable before the 12th. That icon is very tempting… has anyone tried changing the date on their switch and going offline??? 🤣

@Spider-Kev while I'm all about saving money,Half off is asking a little much. Just because it's Digital doesn't mean there's less effort put into it by those that put their work into it. That said,I'd be more willing to say they should knock off about 8-10 off the purchase since you're not paying for the additional resources (carts,cases)

@Ainze I know. All the things you said are true. But consumers have more power than they might think. But consumers are also morons. sigh

I'd just buy the 2 games for 500 reais, but I prefer physical T.T

@MitchaK
No Case, no art, no cartridge, No store fees, no store employee pay, no store storage, no shipping to store or to you.
You have to buy your own memory card to put it on.
It's just some data (1s and 0s) over the internet
No, 50% is accurate

@timp29
Mine's downloading right now. It's gonna be tormenting me for days. Looks pretty, tho.

It’s funny how suddenly some people are into economics and want to hide the fact that the game will actually be 70$.

This is the most ridiculous discount I've seen in a while. It's 10-15€/£/$ cheaper in almost every shop. I really don't get how digital, which has basically no production cost, can be so much more expensive than physical. Especially for switch cartridges which cost a lot more than a Blu-ray to manufacture.

Any word on Piggyback's official guide yet? Checked Amazon and it states a 23rd June release date, which seems a little odd. Was sure BOTW's guide launched same day.

Definitely buying physical for this one.

@Cashews My fear is that will make digital the product category of choice and then physical gets left out in the cold. Make no doubt, that is exactly what the gaming companies want. One copy, one owner. Second hand sales would die on the vine. More options, more ability to save. I have bought digital but it's not my preferred method of buying games.

@tseliot Your fears are warranted brave warrior. However it won't happen soon. Gaming is on a precarious edge right now. For the first time in decades the sector is shrinking and the economy is still on the precipice of a true catastrophic fall. Hell, we could enter a wartime economy in the next half decade - then all of this is done.

We'll be thankful for a couple of old games we can play in between trench style grenade lobbing. All within the realm of possibility. cheers old chap

This kind of explains why you deleted my comment for saying Nintendo shouldn’t have raised the price of the game. I know I shouldn’t discuss moderation if it was valid, but that was way out of line from your end! I didn’t even curse or swear, just said something less than positive about Nintendo.

I’m going to wait until I can get this game 2nd hand, just so Nintendo doesn’t earn money from me on this. But I’ll probably never finish since crafting looks tedious. How controversial and inappropriate!

EU is much bigger.

@Poodlestargenerica,

Nintendo life and clickbait, the mere thought of it, this site would never do things like that.

A while back Costco was giving $50 eShop cards for $50. I bought a few at the time and got vouchers. So I was able to get $130 of games for only $80 and get $50 in savings, as opposed to the $30 of savings Nintendo advertises in the eShop. ToTK Digital is only costing me $40, and we all know the lowest price Nintendo likes for first-party games is $41.99. Score!

@timp29 " has anyone tried changing the date on their switch and going offline??"

My kid didn't try to change the date but they did try "airplane mode". It was worth a shot.

TODAY ONLY $45 for $50 eShop sale on Newegg fo ranybody late to this.

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=eshop

@JasonLee99 even cheaper sometimes with 20% off eshop from Costco. I got the vouchers for $80+ tax so a pretty good deal

I contemplated an OLED Switch for this game but I'm too afraid that the Switch is near it's swan song. Probably why they haven't announced a Switch 2, yet. Only thing that might have changed my mind if the $70 game came bundled with an OLED.

@Cashews I did my time and am too old for the trenches. I'll probably just be back here in the states stuffing MREs into bags.

@NintendoLife It doesn't seem like you are "busy keeping track of all the best deals at retail" for a start you haven't even listed the Currys game + luggage tag for £47.99 deal or that it's available from Smyths for £49.99, and other prices you have listed have changed price (Hit is now £49.85, Amazon game + Poster is now priced £54.49), one of which now leads to a dead link (TheGameCollection now relisted at £54.95 but does [and previously did] come with Poster)

Bought it yesterday at night, easy, fast and with the local eshop's discount.
Still wondering what do those people lining up for 3 days in front of the NY Nintendo store have in their heads. Even a physical version is easy to get..

I wonder if some of these early discounts are because of weak early sales- or price discovery on what it should be - $60 or less. I hope so.

@IronMan30 “Liar! It’s $70! Everyone paid $70!!???!!? I read it here!!!???!?!!” 😀

Waiting on Amazon to do their thing…was two dungeons out from finishing Link’s Awakening as well, great game.

@PinderSchloss if it bugs you that much I wouldn’t even bother picking it up, find another game that finally brings you some joy. At the end of the day it’s all horses for courses. One man’s meat is another man’s poison and all that… 👍🏻

I payed 60 Euro for the physical incl. free delivery and as a bonus I got it a day early.

I got my copy yesterday at retail for 398hkd, which is about 50usd or 40gbp. Looks like I bagged a bargain. It's a great game too.
