Nintendo Switch players are on the cusp of playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with the digital unlock time now mere hours away.
One of the biggest Nintendo Switch games of the year, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, launches officially tomorrow. And of course, it being so close means Nintendo players the world over are champing at the bit to dive into Link’s sky-based adventure as early as possible, particularly if they have a digital pre-order and have already seen the game’s icon appear on their console’s dashboard. Refreshing it constantly is one way to find out when the Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel unlocks. Or, you know, you could just let us tell you the exact time.
As with almost every other first-party Nintendo Switch game release, you’ll be able to play The Legend of Zelda's latest entry as soon as the day of its release begins in your region. That said, this works out slightly differently for select territories like in North America. Luckily, we’re here to let you know when Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom unlocks depending on where you are.
