We’re now just weeks out from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> release and it seems Nintendo has updated the file size on the official game page once again.<\/p>\n

No longer is it the “biggest” digital release on the system, with the Japanese video game company seemingly reducing it from around 18GB down to about 16GB<\/strong>. The eShop listings in the US, Japan and other regions say it will require approximately 15.9GB<\/strong> of free space.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is still subject to change between now and the release of the game next month on 12th May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Compared to Link’s original Switch outing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a> (coming in at 14.4GB<\/strong>), Tears of the Kingdom is still officially the bigger game of the two. In general, it’s still a rather large file size, with other recent games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a> only taking up around 14GB.<\/p>\n

Tears of the Kingdom’s price will also be bumped up by $10 – raising it to $69.99 USD<\/strong> (or the regional equivalent). Nintendo has said it won’t be making this a trend, and it’s decided on a case-by-case basis. On this occasion, you’ll certainly be getting your money’s worth.<\/p>\n
