After the $69.99 price tag for the upcoming Zelda title was lifted from Nintendo's website earlier, it was soon confirmed this was the final price for Tears of the Kingdom, something the company communicated through its latest Direct presentation held on Feb. 7. More than fans being disappointed at the sudden jump in price as compared to previous installments in the Zelda franchise, they were worried about this high price tag continuing as a trend for all future games released by Nintendo. Related: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks great, and Nintendo is capitalizing on it with a price hike The company cleared out the doubts of the public, however, in response to questions raised by the folks over at GameInformer yesterday, where it claimed this is not the start of a permanent price hike for all following games. When questioned about the company\u2019s reasoning underlying the price hike and if the public should expect $70 as the price trend for Nintendo titles moving forward, Nintendo simply said it will \u201cdetermine the suggested retail price for any Nintendo product on a case-by-case basis.\u201d The price hike and the subsequent clearing of doubts come after Nintendo\u2019s publishing of its latest financial results, in which it said the company suffered a decline in sales and profits, even though the Switch games and hardware saw impressive sales.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/03000157\/The-Legend-of-Zelda_-Tears-of-the-Kingdom-\u2013-Coming-May-12th-2023-\u2013-Nintendo-Switch-0-43-screenshot.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795305"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2110"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795305"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":795321,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795305\/revisions\/795321"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795305"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=795305"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=795305"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=795305"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=795305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
