Tears of the Kingdom Gets Its First Major Discount in 2026 During Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is running June 23–26, and Nintendo has done something it almost never does — discounted one of its flagship first-party games. Both the original Switch version and the Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are $20 off, and you don't need a Prime membership to grab either deal.

The Switch 2 Edition drops to $59.88, down from its $80 launch price. The original Switch version sits at $49.94 — and if you're a Nintendo Switch Online member, you can upgrade that copy to the Switch 2 Edition at no extra cost, making it the better value of the two. The Switch 2 Edition brings improved visuals, a higher and more stable frame rate, faster load times, and HDR support. Alongside Tears of the Kingdom, several other Nintendo titles are also discounted at Amazon, with Pikmin 4, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong all hitting their lowest-ever prices on the platform.

Nintendo first-party games are notorious for holding full price for years, so any discount is notable. This Prime Day promotion is the first major official price cut on Tears of the Kingdom since Black Friday 2024, when the game briefly dropped to $29.99 — a steeper deal than what's on offer now. The game also skipped Black Friday 2025 entirely, making this the first discount in roughly 18 months.

IGN's Tom Marks gave Tears of the Kingdom a 10/10 "Masterpiece" score at launch, and revisiting the Switch 2 Edition he wrote that the upgrades make it feel like the game was always meant to be played this way. If you've been sitting on the fence, this is probably the best window you'll get for a while.
