You can get some free OK Tears of the Kingdom items through the Switch news channel
Nintendo is no stranger to using the “Switch news channel” to give out items, whether you remember it exists or not. As a refresher, that little red speech bubble icon on the bottom of your Switch home screen is actually an app, which occasionally provides free stuff. Sometimes it’ll offer up digital items for core franchises, including some promos for Zelda: Breath of the Wild back in the day. Now they’re turning their sights to Tears of the Kingdom, and you can take advantage of it.
The news story in question is called “Whip enemies into shape,” and you’ll just click right on it and launch Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom directly from the app. After that, you’ll log in and get the items instantly.
The items you’ll acquire from this news story are:
This is just enough gear to allow Link to fuse them together to create a whip. Hence, “whip enemies into shape.” Cute, but underwhelming.
Yep, that’s it! I warned you they were just “OK.” Free is free, but hopefully, Nintendo steps things up and at least provides more unique items: potentially some amiibo stuff folks have missed out on (given the current state of re-releases and stock).
