The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may be GOTY of 2023, and that's saying a lot considering the competition: Baldur's Gate 3, Spider-Man 2, Starfield and Skull Island: Rise of Kong, to name a few. Well, maybe not that last game.
Nintendo has a reputation for rarely steeply discounting its first-party games, at least where their tentpole releases are concerned, so it's nice to see Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom going for AU$59 on Amazon Australia at present. For reference, that's AU$30.95 beneath the AU$89.95 RRP.
It betters by AU$10 the price it was going for during the recent Amazon Big Deal Days a couple of weeks ago. If you practiced restraint back then, it looks like that's paid off.
In our review of Tears of the Kingdom, we praised its sense of freedom, and its ability to make Hyrule feel fresh. "Tears of the Kingdom builds on what Breath of the Wild did previously – and with a platform like that to work on, the result can't help but be fantastic. Though with the occasional hiccup in execution, the end result is a game as broad as it is deep, and something that comfortably justifies the six-year wait."
