The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 can be picked up for an effective £35.41 through a flash deal at GAME, but the offer expires at 11.59pm on Wednesday.
The remake launched on November 5 and quickly became the second biggest launch in the franchise's 40-year history. According to Nintendo Life, it has even eclipsed popular titles like EA Sports FC 27 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
How the discount works
At GAME, the Switch 2 version is reduced from £59.99 to £54.99. By shopping through TopCashback, new members earn a £15 sign-up bonus plus cashback at GAME, bringing the effective price to £35.41 excluding delivery. The deal also includes £4.99 for delivery.
This deal can only be claimed by new TopCashback members. Existing members will pay a slightly reduced £55.40. The price undercuts rival retailers like Amazon and Argos, which both charge £54.99 before any potential delivery fees.
Game features and reception
In the remake, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf have been revamped for Switch 2 with enhanced dialogue and fully voiced cutscenes. The game boasts upgraded 3D graphics, suitable for traversing Hyrule in multi-level puzzles and dungeons. It follows the same storyline as the original 1998 edition, set across seven years as Link attempts to prevent Ganondorf from securing the Triforce and plunging Hyrule into chaos.
PC Mag's Will Greenwald hailed it as 'the new definitive way to play the game'. He said: "Sure, it looks amazing, but what really matters is that the core of the original game is there, full and undiminished. This isn't a new game, it's just Ocarina at its best."
He added: "The real treasure here is the little fixes and updates that make this masterpiece play better on modern hardware than the original. The incredible graphics are just a nice bonus."
Greenwald also noted a downside, saying: "I would have loved to see the Master Quest content from the 3DS version (originally exclusive to a promotional GameCube disc) with remixed dungeons, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards at launch. Perhaps Nintendo will add it as DLC, paid or otherwise."
