The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has finally cracked below the $40 barrier that has held firm for years, thanks to Nintendo's ongoing summer sale event. Physical copies at Woot are selling for $35.99, undercutting digital versions available through Amazon and Nintendo at $42.
The real opportunity lies in layering discounts. The Switch 2 Upgrade Pack for Breath of the Wild is currently marked down to $7, a 30 percent reduction from its $10 list price. Buyers can combine the physical copy from Woot with the discounted upgrade pack for a total of $43, bringing the Switch 2 Edition to $27 off its standard $70 price tag. For a game that rarely dips below $40 at all, this represents genuinely rare pricing.
There is a caveat worth noting. Owners of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack can upgrade their existing Switch copy to the Switch 2 Edition at no additional cost. That means the $36 Woot price already offers compelling value regardless of which upgrade path a player chooses.
Beyond Breath of the Wild, Nintendo's summer sale has pushed several other titles to all-time lows. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, and Mario Tennis Fever are all discounted on Switch 2. The summer sale also includes Switch 2 memory cards marked down to $39 for a limited period.
For console shoppers, Nintendo's Switch 2: Choose Your Own Game Bundle remains positioned as the strongest value offer of the summer, combining hardware with game selection flexibility at a lower entry point than standard console pricing.
Author Emily Chen: "Breath of the Wild finally breaking the $40 ceiling is a watershed moment for this game's pricing, and layering the upgrade pack discount on top makes it an absolute no-brainer for anyone who hasn't picked it up yet."
