Save $17: As of July 10, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game(opens in a new tab) for Nintendo Switch is on sale for $42.99 at Walmart— which is equivalent to 28% off. Until noon on July 11, all Walmart+ members can take advantage of this discount, at which point it will become widely available to all shoppers.
It’s that time of the year when Walmart tries as hard as it can to distract shoppers from the famous Amazon Prime Day sales event. And every year, the rival Walmart sale gets a little bit more enticing. There’s one deal in particular we’re excited about, and it’s this $17 discount on what’s sure to be the game of the year. If you and your Nintendo Switch are practically inseparable (and if you somehow haven’t started playing it yet), then you’re sure to savor these 28 percent savings on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game(opens in a new tab).
But hold on a sec. It’s important to note that this early deal is only available for Walmart+ members right now. Everyone else can step into the kingdom of Hyrul by buying this game on July 11 starting at 12 p.m. ET — that is, if supplies last. This is Walmart’s not-so-subtle way of encouraging shoppers to sign up for Walmart+, and it’s no coincidence that Walmart+ memberships are actually 50% off right now (and that’s in addition to the usual 30-day free trial). As far as the price is concerned, we think $42.99 looks pretty sweet. According to the price tracking app Honey(opens in a new tab), the game most often retails for $59.99.
Breath of the Wild is a thrilling continuation of the Legend of Zelda game franchise. As with previous Zelda titles, it’s filled with dynamic puzzles, weapons, armor, plants, animals, and elixirs. Unlike past games, it turns the player into an engineer, letting you build fantastic machines with which to explore the game’s vast open-air environment. This game holds many clever challenges that even Zelda veterans won’t see coming, and the visuals on display are truly mesmerizing. Your Nintendo Switch is practically begging for this new addition. So, why not get Breath of the Wild while it’s on sale at Walmart?
