An official The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch microSD memory card is being released by SanDisk. Released in partnership with Nintendo, the 1TB microSD features a design based on the Hylian crest. It is officially licensed for use with the Nintendo Switch. It releases on May 12, 2023, alongside the game itself. It will retail for $149.99 and is now available to pre-order on Amazon.
The microSD card comes with 1TB of storage and boasts write speeds of up to 90MB/s and read speeds of up to 100MB/s. These speeds may vary during actual use.
The microSD card could be useful for players of Tears of the Kingdom. The game is currently listed on the eShop as being roughly 16GB in size. That’s about half the standard internal storage space – 32GB – for the base Switch model and the Switch Lite.
