The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition - Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch Lite

(tl;dr) In summary, Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is as certain for game of the year as Elden Ring was in 2022 and this is a fine collection for interested fans. The important thing to note, however is outstanding service BestBuy provides, giving collectors of new limited editions a fighting chance at securing their order during a time when scalping has gotten notoriously bad. Firstly, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom itself is a fantastic game. With so much to explore and do in the game, it will provide entertainment for years to come. I only recently played Breath of the Wild, yet I was almost more excited than the die-hard fan who got me into it. A little over 2 hours in and I’m already blown away by what the game achieves. Secondly, the Collector’s Edition; for any die-hard Zelda, its a great set. If special steel-book game cases, design art books, exclusive (high-quality) pins, or nice metal prints to display are your thing, you’ll have zero complaints to write about. The items contained within this edition got my excited to get my hands into the game and keeps me thinking about it while I’m not playing. However, what I’d most like to comment on is the service from BestBuy itself. Over the years, I’ve collected many limited editions for my favorite series and, as anyone who can relate within the past few years will know, “scalpers” have become a problem in fans acquiring products like this. I’ve experienced it plenty in the past. This time around, though, I put my trust in our friends at BestBuy. And that trust paid off: as the release date approached, a “launch countdown” was added to the game’s page. Within 5 minutes of this countdown reaching 0, I was able to “snipe” a copy of this edition. From my understanding, such as most vendors that allow pre-orders as soon as a listing is posted are prone to, the listing was sold out within a matter of hours. The point is this: for avid collectors of limited editions for new entires in their favorite franchises, BestBuy wins. Granted, fans will need some patience and still compete with scalpers, but BestBuy gives you a fighting chance. Once my order arrived (with a speedy delivery), the product itself was in perfect condition. See for yourself in the pictures.

Product was larger than expected. The art book was made very well and larger than I was expecting. It came with both the steel and original case which is nice if you don't care too much for the steel case. Was shocked at beautiful and sturdy the poster was. The pins are really nice as well. As for the game, I've been enjoying it quite a lot. Definitely a big improvement over Breath of The Wild while still keeping alot from it. Even with the same map, the landscape has been changed up a bit to make it fresh to explore while also making you feel nostalgic while visiting old sites. The new underground area is huge and treat to explore even if it can be a challenge at times when you first start the game. The new crafting feature seems to have endless possibilities and is only limited to what your mind can come up with. I do wish they would've not had the breakable weapons come back but the fusion feature sorta helps with that. All in all the game is amazing and the high quality goodies in this collectors edition is worth getting

This is definitely worth the money, the pins are high quality, the art book clearly had a lot of work out into it, and it includes not only the game and steelbook, but also the original game case. The tin poster is nice, but I won't be able to display it. High quality purchase

Nintendo collectors editions are getting better and better. The steelbook, the steel plate picture, and art book are fantastic in this collection. Any Zelda fan would love this box.
