gamerant.comIn a recent interview, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser explained why The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be worth its higher price tag.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the highly-anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild, the Nintendo Switch's major first-party launch title from March 2017.
