If you want Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition on your doorstep in May, you’ll need to keep an eye on its stock. Finding the Collector’s Edition in stock could prove tricky as we push toward the game’s release date later this year.
After a long wait, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-orders have begun which means you can buy one of the Switch’s most anticipated games right now.
Currently, there are two versions of the game up for pre-order. The most basic version is the The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom standard edition which will cost you $69.99 at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. The other version is the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition which is a bundle that includes numerous extras.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition costs $130 and it will arrive alongside the standard version on May 12th.
For $130 you’ll get a physical copy of the game, an artbook filled with concept art, a steelbook case, an Iconart steel poster, and a four pin badges. This version of the game is aimed at collectors and hardcore fans of the Zelda series. Most people should buy the standard edition.
Given the popularity of the game and series, the Collector’s Edition will be a hot item and it may prove hard to find in the run up to the game’s release in May. If you don’t want to pay more than retail price for the bundle, and you manage to find the edition you want in stock, you should put in a pre-order right away.
