Table of Contents Table of Contents

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is arriving soon and many people are starting to pre-order the game now. Of course, there are still those who are hesitant because they want to know what incentive they have to purchase the game.

Tons of games nowadays have incentives like pre-order bonuses that get you additional items for purchasing your copy of the game early. In the past, Nintendo has done bonuses for those who bought Pokémon. Depending on where you purchase your copy, you will get a different bonus.

So, what are the pre-order bonuses for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at each retailer?

All The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-order bonuses

If you want to get your hands on one of the pre-order bonuses for this sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you will want to hurry. There are limited supplies of each bonus and some stores have already sold out.

The game is not available on other platforms like PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, or PC, so these are all for Nintendo Switch. To get these bonuses, you have to buy the game before launch day on May 12.

Gamestop pre-order bonus

Those who pre-order the game from GameStop will receive a free wooden plaque with strange writing and the Ultrahand symbol on it. This is no doubt a cool way to show off this game’s means of using Link’s special abilities.

These are really only guaranteed for those who buy the game from the United States. Those who pre-order the game in Canada from GameStop will instead receive a pin set of Zelda and Link.

There is no steelbook or poster this time.

Best Buy pre-order bonus

When you purchase a copy of Tears of the Kingdom from Best Buy, you will automatically get the bonus added to your cart. The bonus for this store is an art print. There is no size mentioned, but we can’t imagine it is that large.

Walmart pre-order bonus

Purchasing the game from Walmart in the U.S. will get you a wall plaque of the newly broken Master Sword. This is before it gets the upgrade that we have seen in the trailer so the sword isn’t looking too good. You will also receive a game disc instead of a digital redemption code.

Those purchasing the game in Canada will instead get a luggage tag with the game’s symbol stamped into it.

Europe Nintendo Store pre-order bonus

If you happen to be pre-ordering the game from the European Nintendo Store, you will get a collector’s coin with the name of the game on it. You will also get the luggage tag mentioned earlier.

Amazon pre-order bonus

The only thing you get is a guarantee that the price will go up and that you’ll get the lowest price. Not even a commemorative coin, iconart poster, wall scroll, or tote bag.

Target purchase incentive

Instead of having a pre-order bonus, Target has decided to provide a bonus for those who purchase the game upon release. Those who purchase a physical copy of the game from Target upon release will get a hip pouch.

That’s better than a blanket, shirt, or coaster, but let’s hope Target gets better incentives for sequels.

Is there a DLC Season Pass for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-order?

Is there a pre-order bonus for the Collector’s Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

You will just get the same pre-order bonus everyone gets for the standard edition.
