Just a few weeks until the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and it looks like Nintendo has updated the file size on the game’s official site once again.
It’s no longer the “biggest” digital release on the system, as the Japanese video game company has scaled it down from around 18GB to around 16 GB. The eShop listings in the US, Japan, and other regions say it will take approx 15.9 GB free space.
Of course, this is still subject to change between now and the game’s release next month May 12.
Compared to Link’s original Switch release The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (coming in 14.4 GB), Tears of the Kingdom is still officially the bigger game of the two. Overall, that’s still a pretty big file size, with other recent games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 only taking up around 14GB.
The price of Tears of the Kingdom will also be increased by $10 – increasing it to $69.99 (or regional equivalent). Nintendo said they won’t make this a trend and that it’s decided on a case-by-case basis. On this occasion, you will certainly come into your own.
