Mascom International stocks The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch at KSh 7,500, brand new and sealed, as a physical game card. Released by Nintendo on 12 May 2023, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is the direct sequel to Breath of the Wild and sends Link across Hyrule, the sky islands above it and the dark Depths below. This single-player adventure runs in TV, tabletop and handheld modes on every Switch model. Pick up your copy at our First Floor shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for teenagers, families and grown-up Nintendo fans, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom handles both quick puzzle breaks and weekend-long expeditions. Link's hand-based powers let you glue logs, fans and wheels into rafts, cars and flying machines, so most problems have more than one answer. Secondary school students on holiday, university students at Kenyatta or USIU, and parents who share a Switch with their children all find something here. The usual frustration with open-world games is drifting without purpose; here every shrine, cave and sky island hides a reward that pulls you onward.
Unlike sellers who hand over loose cards with no case, Mascom International supplies The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in its sealed retail case with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from parents in Kilimani and Westlands who want one game the whole household can share for months. It also costs KSh 200 less than The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, the Switch remake we stock beside it. Order The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, or visit us on Kimathi Street.
Common Questions About The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
What is The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom price in Kenya?
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom sells for KSh 7,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, as a sealed physical Switch game card. The price includes the retail case, a 6-month card warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you can pay through Lipa na M-Pesa when the rider arrives. The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, the other Zelda card on our shelf, costs KSh 7,700, which makes this much larger adventure KSh 200 cheaper.
Do I need to play Breath of the Wild before The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
No, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom tells its own story and teaches every control from the start, so first-time players can begin here. It is a direct sequel, set in the same Hyrule some time after Breath of the Wild, and returning fans will spot familiar towns and faces. Knowing the earlier game adds context to a few story moments, but nothing is locked away. Veterans should expect a changed map, with sky islands above and underground Depths added.
Should I choose The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening?
Choose The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for a huge 3D open world built around crafting and free roaming. Choose The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for a compact, top-down island quest with clearly marked dungeons. This game is rated PEGI 12 and rewards patient experimenting, while the remake carries a PEGI 7 rating and suits younger children or short sessions. This one costs KSh 7,500, which is KSh 200 less. For months of play, take this card; for a gentler first Zelda, take the remake.
Does The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom work on Nintendo Switch 2?
Yes, this card plays on Nintendo Switch 2, since Nintendo states that most original Switch games run on the newer console. Nintendo has also released a separate Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, adding higher resolution, smoother frame rates, HDR, faster loading and support for the Zelda Notes service in the Nintendo Switch App. The card we sell is the original Switch version. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm current upgrade options before buying for a Switch 2.
Is The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom suitable for children?
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is rated PEGI 12, so it suits most children from 12 years old, as well as teenagers and adults. Fighting is fantasy combat against monsters rather than realistic violence. Younger children may find the open map and physics puzzles hard to follow alone, though many enjoy playing alongside a parent or older sibling. For a child under 12, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening is the gentler pick on our shelf.
Can I play The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom in handheld mode on a Nairobi commute?
Yes, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom runs in handheld mode on every Switch model, including the Switch Lite, so a matatu ride becomes play time. Press the power button to put the console to sleep at your stage, and the game resumes exactly where you stopped. No internet is needed, so patchy Safaricom or Airtel coverage on Thika Road never interrupts you. Keep a power bank in your bag, since long sessions drain the battery faster than menu browsing.
What can you build in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
In The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, the Ultrahand ability lets Link lift objects and stick them together into rafts, bridges, cars and gliders. Fuse attaches items to weapons and shields, such as a rock on a stick for a heavy hammer. Ascend carries Link up through ceilings, and Recall rewinds an object's movement through time. Together these powers turn many puzzles into open questions, and buyers throughout Kenya report swapping contraption ideas with friends after school or work.
Who should buy The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and who should skip it?
Buy The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom if you enjoy exploring at your own pace, solving puzzles with creative tools and sinking many weekends into one world. Skip it if you want short, guided levels, competitive multiplayer with friends, or a dark story with adult themes. Small children and anyone new to games may prefer The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for its smaller map. Adults wanting a grim role-playing epic should look at The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Complete Edition, which we also stock.
Technical Specifications
Core Gameplay and Abilities
- Open-world action adventure from Nintendo — roam Hyrule's surface, the sky islands above and the Depths below in any order.
- Ultrahand ability — pick up objects and join them together, turning planks, fans and wheels into working vehicles.
- Fuse ability — attach rocks, monster parts or other items to weapons, shields and arrows to change how they behave.
- Ascend and Recall abilities — rise straight through rock ceilings to higher ground, or rewind a moving object to ride it back.
- Shrines and temples — short puzzle rooms and larger dungeons reward you with upgrades to hearts and stamina.
- Weather and day-night cycle — rain makes cliffs slippery and storms make metal gear risky, so timing shapes each climb.
- Single-player game — one person plays at a time, and each family member can keep a separate save under their own user profile.
Console Compatibility and Switch 2 Support
- Runs on Nintendo Switch, the OLED model and Switch Lite — no add-ons or extra controllers are required to play.
- Three play modes — TV mode through the dock, tabletop mode on the kickstand, and handheld mode wherever you are.
- Nintendo Switch 2 compatible — the card plays on Switch 2, which Nintendo states supports most original Switch games.
- Separate Switch 2 Edition from Nintendo — that version adds higher resolution, smoother frame rates, HDR and faster loading.
- Zelda Notes on the Switch 2 Edition — a companion service inside the Nintendo Switch App for phones, linked to that edition.

Physical Card and Storage
- Physical Nintendo Switch game card — slots into the top of the console and launches straight from the home menu.
- Shrink-wrapped retail case — sealed at the factory, so the card has never been inserted into another console.
- Game data loads from the cartridge — far less pressure on internal storage than downloading this large title would bring.
- Patches install to the console — free updates arrive over Wi-Fi and use internal memory or a microSD card.
- Shareable within the household — move the card between two family Switch consoles, and each keeps its own save files.
- No code inside the case — the game itself lives on the card, so there is nothing to redeem online before you play.
- Resale option — a physical copy can be sold or traded later, unlike a purchase tied to one Nintendo Account.
What the Game Includes
- The full main adventure — the complete story Nintendo released on 12 May 2023, with every region on the card.
- Rated PEGI 12 — suitable for players aged 12 and older, with fantasy combat against monsters and beasts.
