The much-anticipated game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is just around the corner, and it appears that Nintendo has made some alterations to the file size of the game. At around 18GB, the game was previously listed as the “biggest” digital release on the system. However, according to the most recent update, the file size has been reduced to around 16GB, requiring approximately 15.9GB of free space.
It should be noted that the file size is still subject to change before the game’s May 12 release. Even with the smaller file size, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a huge game greater than Link’s original Switch outing, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which had a 14.4GB file size. Other recent games, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3, took up about 14GB.
The game’s price has also been raised by $10 to $69.99 USD. Nintendo has assured fans that the price increase is not a trend and would be decided case by case. Despite the higher price, gamers will receive their money’s worth with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Finally, as the game’s release date approaches, Nintendo continues to make changes to guarantee that gamers enjoy the finest experience possible. While the file size has been reduced, the game remains large and the price increase reflects the game’s high quality.
