We’re still a week away from the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but it’s now officially available for pre-download.
Nintendo Switch users who pre-ordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can pre-load the game starting today, a week before the May 12 release date.
Of course, it is still not possible to run the game until it is officially available in the market, but downloading it in advance now may help you return to the world of Hyrule a little earlier, and the file size is 16.2 GB, as indicated Gamespot.
My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don’t see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up!

Some players have reported difficulty starting the preload, but there seems to be a simple workaround according to Twitter user PhantomxKairi, who says canceling the pre-order and ordering again should get the pre-load to start properly.
