0New Nintendo Switch game deals discount The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and more
Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a number of discounts on Nintendo Switch games, with dedicated sales happening at both GameStop and Nintendo's digital eShop.
The big highlight here is likely The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is down to $40 at GameStop in either physical or digital form. That might not sound like a huge price drop for a (borderline essential) game that came out three years ago, but as with most major first-party Nintendo Switch games, major discounts on BotW have been rare. The game has typically retailed around $50 online, with only one drop to $30 on Black Friday last year. GameStop says its current spring sale will last through April 11.
Beyond that, other quality Switch games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Octopath Traveler are also down to $40, while notables like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Diablo III are available for less than their usual street price as well. Smaller-scale gems like the golfing RPG Golf Story and the puzzler Puyo Puyo Tetris are also discounted over on the eShop, so there's a good variety out there for anyone who wants something new to play on the cheap while they're temporarily stuck indoors.
If your backlog is already overflowing, though, we also have deals on Sonos speakers, Amazon Echo devices, Nvidia's Shield TV media streamer, a handful of true wireless earphones and noise-cancelling headphones, and much more. Have a look at the full rundown for yourself below.
