Get Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for less with this Switch Voucher trick

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out, and you probably want to pick it up based on its rave reviews. However, it’s the most expensive first-party Nintendo Switch game ever at $70. But did you know that if you’re willing to spend a little more, you can technically snag Tears of the Kingdom, plus another game, at a discount? To do this, you’ll need to buy some Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers.

How to get Tears of the Kingdom with Game Vouchers

To get Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, you need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member. The most basic version of the service costs $20 a year, but you are most likely already subscribed to it if you play games online or use your Switch to play classic NES, SNES, or Game Boy games. Once you affirm that you’re subscribed, head on over to the Nintendo Switch Online tab in the eShop, and scroll down until you find the store page for Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers.

Most of the games on this list cost $60, so if you use the first voucher on one of those other games, you’re technically getting Tears of the Kingdom for just $40. Of course, Game Vouchers only work with the digital version of Tears of the Kingdom, so those looking to pick the game up physically will just have to buy the game at full price.

For those who don’t mind getting Tears of the Kingdom digitally, Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are an easy way to technically snag the game at a discount while also getting another title like Fire Emblem Engage or Pikmin 4.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now for Nintendo Switch.

The best Zelda spinoff games
best-single-player-nintendo-switch-games

The debate over the best Zelda games may never end. Some love the more focused 2D adventures, while others prefer the more open-world 3D games. However, there are a lot more games in the Zelda universe than the traditional games. Much like Mario spinoffs, Zelda has a wide range of spinoff games that break the traditional formula of entering dungeons, solving puzzles, and beating bosses. Some might have some of those familiar elements but tend to approach them from a more fresh perspective. We usually only get one, maybe two, games in the Zelda timeline every console generation, so why not dive into some of the best Zelda spinoffs while we wait for the next upcoming Switch game?
