The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the largest first-party Switch game ever by a significant margin over the rest of the platform’s exclusives, according to Nintendo, which announced this earlier this year that the game will require 18.2 GB of installation space on the Nintendo eShop.
The storage needs for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were reduced by the Japanese publisher prior to the game’s official release; the game now only needs 16 GB of Switch storage space instead of 18.2 GB. The game is still the biggest first-party offering on the Switch platform.
According to rumors, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will launch on the Nintendo Switch system on May 12.
