If you’ve been waiting to pick up one of the all-time great games for the Nintendo Switch, you can do so now for as cheap as it gets. Woot is offering first-time customers the chance to buy a physical version The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $39.99 ($30 off) when you use code ZELDAWELCOME at checkout. If you’ve purchased from Woot before you can still buy the game for a solid $49.99 ($20 off) — or just make a new Woot account, we’re not the cops.

Last year’s mega-hit from Nintendo followed in Breath of the Wild’s footsteps as a direct sequel, but it rewrote the formula of its open-world take on Hyrule with new crafting, physics, and exploration mechanics. It’s the kind of game that opens up all kinds of avenues for your creativity to shine — or you can just really mess with stuff in the world and cheese your way through puzzles in fun ways.

But outside of making wacky gizmos and crafting janky robots to ride into battle, it’s another tale of Link having to save Zelda from Ganon. The newer Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, starring Zelda as main playable protagonist, changes things up a little more in its own way.

Tears of the Kingdom is the latest installment in the Zelda franchise. The storyline and gameplay are similar to Breath of the Wild’s, but enough has changed to make Link’s return to Hyrule plenty special.

Since it’s a Dyson, it comes with a hefty price tag and colorful purple-and-gray design that may or may not be to everyone’s liking — though the current sale at least helps alleviate the former a bit.
