GameStop Reveals Exclusive Pre-Order Bonus for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

While Nintendo typically doesn't lean to heavily into pre-order bonuses, GameStop has revealed a new and exclusive wooden plaque to go along with a The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-order. After a lengthy time under development, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is likely the biggest release in 2023 for the Nintendo Switch, with many fans assuming that it could be one of the final first party games before Nintendo moves on to the next console.

While speculation continues to dominate gaming circles online, Nintendo also opened pre-orders for the title and GameStop may have a compelling reason for buyers to go there.
