The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild File Size Is 40% of Switch's Storage


Downloading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch requires 13.4 GB of storage.

Buying the next Zelda game digitally will take up over 40% of the console’s 32 GB of internal storage. Its file size is slightly smaller on Wii U at 13 GB.

Although Switch has 32 GB of storage, that doesn’t mean all of it will be usable–some of that memory may be dedicated to the OS, for example, so Breath of the Wild could realistically take up even more than 40% of the available memory. You can expand Nintendo Switch’s memory with a microSDXC card.

The box art for Breath of the Wild was also recently revealed. The game will launch March 3 alongside Nintendo Switch.
