As the final first-party title for the Wii U and a launch title for the Switch, it sent Link into a devastated Hyrule to awaken from slumber and rebuild hope in a fragmented world.

Gameplay emphasizes a physics- and chemistry-driven sandbox world, encouraging players to solve problems creatively - whether climbing any surface, combining elements for environmental interaction, or experimenting with tools like runes and cooking systems.

The world design blends a vast open landscape with the freedom to choose one’s path, supported by systems like durability, dynamic weather, and emergent puzzles that replace traditional dungeon gating.

In June 2025, Nintendo released an enhanced port - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition , featuring upgraded graphics, stable 60 fps performance, dynamic 4K resolution when docked, significantly faster load times, and overall technical refinement for the new console generation.

About Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.

Gamevaro tracks The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2017.

Market insights

🌍

NTSC-U is 18% cheaper

The NTSC-U version (€21.85) is significantly cheaper than PAL (€25.77) loose.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
