Nintendo

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a launch title for the Nintendo Switch, but it’s still one of the most impressive titles for the console. If you own the Nintendo Switch, this open-world adventure should be in your video game library, and if it’s not there yet, you shouldn’t miss this chance to get it with a 50% discount from Best Buy. It’s on sale for $40 instead of $60 for $20 in savings, and you’ll get an additional $10 off if you’re a My Best Buy Plus or Total subscriber to further lower its price to $30. The Nintendo Switch exclusive isn’t always on sale, and rarely for half-price when it is, so hurry up with your purchase if you don’t want to miss this offer.

Why you should buy The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released in 2017 alongside the original version of the Nintendo Switch, and it has never left our roundup of the best Nintendo Switch exclusives. It’s another adventure where you play as Link, and you’ll be saving Princess Zelda and the world, but those are the only similarities with previous The Legend of Zelda games. You’ll explore the Kingdom of Hyrule like never before — with total freedom — and you’ll be living off the land as you find weapons and armor, cook food, uncover secrets, and solve puzzles as you make your way through this perilous journey.

If you’re a fan of the franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first game to play on the Nintendo Switch. Afterwards, you should check out Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which is a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, then proceed with its even more ambitious sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

From its original price of $60, it’s on sale for $40 after a $20 discount, and it’s further down to $30 due to an additional $10 in savings if you’re a My Best Buy Plus or Total subscriber. There’s no time to waste if you’re interested though, as the price of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will probably go back to normal sooner than you expect.

Hurry! The Nintendo Switch just got a rare price cut at Walmart

Games and accessories often appear with discounts in Nintendo Switch deals, but the console itself mostly only gets a price cut during special occasions. If you can't wait for the next big sale, the good news is that there's a rare offer from Walmart for the Nintendo Switch that drops its price from $300 to $260. We're not sure how much time is remaining for the $40 in savings, but given the device's popularity, we don't expect it to last very long. If you want to get the console for a cheaper price, you should push through with your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch
To be clear, the Nintendo Switch in this sale is the original version of the hybrid console, not the Nintendo Switch OLED. According to our Nintendo Switch versus Nintendo Switch OLED comparison, the upgrades that you'll miss include the 7.0-inch OLED screen, a wider kickstand, and double the internal storage at 64GB. However, the original Nintendo Switch is still a worthwhile purchase with its 6.2-inch LCD screen, and the narrower kickstand won't be a problem if you're planning to play mostly in handheld mode or docked mode. The internal storage also probably won't be an issue as you can expand it by up to 2TB through a microSD card.

Gamers will likely appreciate this deal, particularly gamers who love the Nintendo Switch ergonomics or portable gaming in general. It sees the Asus ROG Ally with Z1 processor and 512GB of storage discounted to $400 at Best Buy. While this may still seem pricey, it’s an impressive discount of $200 from the device’s regular price of $600. It packs a lot of punch as well, and with Best Buy including free shipping with a purchase, it’s one of the better gaming console deals you’ll find today.

Why you should buy the Asus ROG Ally Z1
There are a couple of models of the ROG Ally, with the Asus ROG Ally Z1 being the more affordable option and this Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme model having some additional performance specs. We consider both models among the best handheld gaming PCs, though this Z1 model offers a ton of value with a lower price point than the Z1 Extreme. The Z1 model packs a powerful 6-core processor that can process 2.8 teraflops of computational power. This is incredibly impressive for a handheld device, as is the included 512GB of storage space, which should be plenty for housing most peoples game libraries.
