The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has now received its first notable discount. When Nintendo released its latest Zelda game on Switch this past month, its launch was met with some backlash from fans as it ended up being the first Nintendo-published title to ever cost $69.99. Luckily, for those that opted to hold off and not buy Tears of the Kingdom right away, they can now grab the game for what was previously seen as a "normal" cost. 

Currently on Amazon, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been marked down by roughly $10 and is now retailing for $59.88. This represents a 14% discount in total, which while not very large, still brings the game down to the $60 price point that a number of Nintendo fans wanted to see it sit at in the first place. It also happens to be the first such sale that we've seen for TotK since it was released in early May. 

What makes this sale even more unusual is that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already been selling at an incredibly high rate for Nintendo. In fact, Nintendo itself confirmed a bit after the launch of Tears of the Kingdom that it had become the fastest-selling Zelda game in history. As such, the title's $70 value clearly didn't dissuade many from picking TotK the moment it became available
