The highly acclaimed game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has just been released, and you’re probably eager to get your hands on it. However, it comes with a hefty price tag of $70, making it the most expensive first-party Nintendo Switch game to date. But here’s a little-known trick that allows you to not only purchase Tears of the Kingdom at a reduced price but also get another game along with it. All you need to do is take advantage of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers.
How to Purchase Tears of the Kingdom with Game Vouchers
To acquire Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, you must be a member of Nintendo Switch Online.

It’s important to note that Game Vouchers can only be used to purchase the digital version of Tears of the Kingdom. Those who prefer physical copies will have to buy the game at its full price.
For those who don’t mind owning Tears of the Kingdom digitally, Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers provide an easy way to purchase the game at a discounted rate while also acquiring another title like Fire Emblem Engage or Pikmin 4.
