The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom EU Nintendo Switch Digital Key

An open world sequel worth exploring properly

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continues the story begun in Breath of the Wild, sending Link across the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and up into the islands that hang in the sky above it. It's an open world game in the fullest sense: the land and sky are yours to roam, with ruins to uncover, puzzles to solve and creatures to face wherever you choose to go.

Link gains a new set of abilities in this instalment, which shape both how you fight and how you move through the world. Combined with the freedom to tackle challenges in your own order, it makes for an adventure that plays out differently depending on the choices you make.

What you're buying

This listing is a digital key for the standard edition on Nintendo Switch. You redeem the key on the Nintendo eShop and the game is then added to your own Nintendo account, ready to download and play.

Region and language support

This is the Europe region key, so it activates on accounts set to a European Nintendo eShop region. Players elsewhere should check their eShop region before buying, and can look at the US region key if that fits their account better.

The game itself supports a wide spread of languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, so most players won't need to change any settings to play in their own language.

Where it fits on your shelf

Tagged across action, adventure, RPG and story-rich genres, Tears of the Kingdom sits comfortably alongside other RPG games and action games in a Switch library, and it's rated PEGI 12. If you're building out your Switch collection, it's worth browsing the wider range of Nintendo Switch download codes while you're at it.
