The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is undoubtedly set to be one of the biggest releases of the calendar year, if not the biggest. And yet, we still know little about it. The secrecy surrounding the story is incredibly intriguꩵing. What's happening in Hyrule? How has Ganon been resurrected? Is Zelda playable? Is Zelda dead? So many questions!

One thing we do know is the pricing. Following the latest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct, the Japanese games maker confirmed that Tears of the Kingdom would be the first $69.99 / £59.99 game on Nintendo Switch. Ouch. With everyone's bank accounts being squeezed more than ever, this wasn't the news we wanted. That said, there is a solution (surprisingly, provided by Nintendo) that helps make the new Zelda that littl🍎e bit cheaper – and it's all to do with Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers.

As outlined in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Tears of the Kingdom pre-order guide, the Nintendo Switch Game Voucher system allows anyone subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online to pick up two vouchers for . These can then be exchanged for two Switch games, including Tears of the Kingdom, Pꦫikmin 4, Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp, Fire Emblem Engage, Pokemon Scarlet / Violet, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and more. 

By doing this, you are essentially paying $50 apiece for games that go for either $69.99 / $59.99 or $59.99 / £49.99 each. For example, Zelda and Pikmin 4 combined come in at the standard cost𝕴 of $129.98 / £109.98, whereas by opting for the Nintendo Switch Game Voucher method, you save $30.00 / £25.98ಌ. Additionally, you will earn Nintendo Gold Points worth 5% of the total amount spent, equal to around $5 / £4. This can be claimed back to spent on further games. It's the cheapest solution if you are definitely going to be getting any of these games with Nintendo rarely, if ever, dropping the RRP of its first-party titles.
