Explore the land and skies of Hyrule—now enhanced for the Nintendo Switch 2 system! An epic adventure awaits in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition! Harness the power of Link’s abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom—all while traveling across the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule with improved framerates, faster load times, and enhanced resolution and textures. This sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game has never looked better! Unleash your imagination by using your abilities in surprising and creative ways. Link must make use of powerful abilities to discover the origins of the mysterious gloom that is plaguing the kingdom. Use Ultrahand to pick up, move, and rotate objects, and even attach objects together to create bridges, vehicles, and more. Try Fuse to magically fuse objects to Link’s current weapon, shield, or arrow to increase durability, damage, or even add a new effect. Ascend and Recall give you new ways to move through the environment, allowing you to pass through solid terrain and reverse an object’s movement. Experiment with lots of different combinations to come up with surprising—and sometimes hilarious—results! With ZELDA NOTES, you can also gain daily in-game bonuses, compare your play data to others around the world, decorate your in-game photos for social media, transfer items to other players by QR Code, and more!
