If you order The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from GameStop in the United States, you’ll get wood — a wooden plaque. Sure, it’s an ornate collectible, but it’s nowhere near as cool as the pre-order gifts you could get by ordering the game in other countries, like Japan, which is giving away Tears of the Kingdom forks and spoons. There’s nothing I want more than to invite my family over for Christmas dinner and bring out the fancy china: My Tears of the Kingdom cutlery set.
Look, it makes sense in some ways. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild included cooking, and we can safely assume Link will have to eat in Tears of the Kingdom, too. Does he use cutlery, or does he just smash that plate on his face? Who can say? The important thing is that you can use cutlery. You can get the fork and the spoon by ordering the more expensive Collector’s Edition, or just get the spoon with the standard copy.

Canadians purchasing Tears of the Kingdom have two retailer options with different pre-order bonuses: GameStop and Walmart. People who pre-order from GameStop will get a pin set featuring Link and Zelda, while Walmart buyers will get a Tears of the Kingdom luggage tag. (Prices below are in CAD.)
