One of the many news that arrived following the Nintendo Direct the other night is the actual weight of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, let’s find out all the details together
The first Nintendo Direct of 2023 was held on the evening of 8 February last, in which many news were revealed for the most important video games arriving on Nintendo Switch during this year. Among the demos of Octopath Traveler II and Sea of Stars, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom also positioned itself (obviously), the direct sequel to the highly acclaimed and award-winning Breath of the Wild, which showed itself with an impressive new trailer . Scheduled for next May 12, Tears of the Kingdom looks to be one of the most majestic titles ever to arrive on the Nintendo Switch. And in fact, if you go back to Breath of the Wild, even the prequel is still a sort of miracle, for a hardware as small as that of Nintendo’s hybrid.
Following the Direct, the official Tears of the Kingdom page appeared on the Nintendo eShop. Page that, first of all, went to confirm the price of € 70 for the game (by heart, even the first chapter came out at that price, but we could be wrong). Furthermore, here the official weight of the game was also revealed, which amounts to 18.2 GB.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, after the price confirmed also the weight of the game file!
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is by no means the heaviest video game ever released on Nintendo Switch, just think of the 41.6 GB needed to download NBA 2K21. However, it is currently the largest file ever released on the shop among first-party Nintendo titles. A weight that remains incredibly small when compared to those of the blockbusters that come out on current generation consoles, but we must always relate everything to the hardware to which we refer.
Price confirmed, weight confirmed, now we just have to wait for May 12th to get our hands on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
