If you were holding out on getting the latest The Legend of Zelda title because of price, today is your lucky day: A copy can be yours for just $50 on Amazon, around $20 off its regular $69.99 pricing.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom $48.95 (Was $69.99)

As someone who owns and has played this game … you are definitely missing out if you don’t. You’ll find great joy in learning the new game mechanics and diving into the plot—literally, you’re skydiving in this game. You don’t even need to play Breath of the Wild, its predecessor, to appreciate the story and gameplay (although your playthrough will be much more informed if you do). Did we mention that both games feature a hot fish prince?

If you’re familiar with the franchise, you know the drill. But if you don’t: Zelda is in trouble. Ganon/Ganondorf* is up to no good. It’s up to Link, the Hero of Time, thee Hylian Champion, to defeat Ganon(dorf) and his monstrous cronies to stop darkness from descending over Hyrule and save Zelda.

*Ganon is the god; Ganondorf is Ganon in human form. You’re welcome.

Of course, you’ll need a Switch console to play the game. For bang for your buck, we prefer the OG model over the Switch Lite or OLED version, but all are venerable options if you play primarily handheld. And, if you’re typically a digital game-only person, you might want to put preferences aside for now: only the physical copy of the game is on sale.

This deal is sure to disappear, much like Zelda in almost every iteration of the franchise. She returns by the end of the game, but we’re not sure if this deal will reappear, even after a long, arduous journey, so grab Tears of the Kingdom to avoid shedding tears of frustration.

Here are other gaming goodies on sale, and it’s not a secret to everybody:

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
