Pre-Purchase Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom At GameStop And Get A Free Wooden Plaque

I'm not into collecting trinkets like this, but that's a much cooler pre-order bonus than I've seen in a while.

I thought it was a chopping board when it popped up on my news feed.

Weird that nothing has been announced for the UK yet, not even the price and availability of the CE version.

£42 for the digital version via Game Voucher remains by far the most tempting offer (especially as the half can be used for Pikmin 4 or Kirby) at the moment.

@dazzleshell

I'd be more likely to get it if it WAS a chopping board. Still wouldn't get it wither way.

This looks pretty cool. Little time left for this Dark Zelda game. What have Zelda team done this time.

In Australia Eb Games has a leather luggage tag and JB-HIFI has a 40mm Metal Coin as a bonus. I'd rather have the chopping board

Agree with @DioBrando, at least a chopping board would be useful and not just sit around collecting dust.

Oh nice, free rubbish

(Personally) It’s so lame tho, looks like a cutting board. Not worth potential GameStop problems.

Nice! Can't wait for the canadian Gamestop preorder being a sticker or another cheap keychain...

@ukaskew37 all I’m going to say is make sure you have alerts setup for the CE in the UK and I don’t mean subscribing to emails. These will go fast.

Worked at a GameStop years ago, they only keep a handful of those items for first come, first serve people that pre-order. Lots of people cancel & not everyone remembers and it takes up storage space. Lame practice but not always a guarantee to get the free goodie. They probably have like 70-90% of the items depending on release & availability

The general idea seems cool, but what's up with the design? I know the magic sealing/super power hand is going to be pretty important, but that image looks like it could be from any of a million different series involving weird magic/ritual stuff. If they'd just gone with a picture of Link or the degraded master sword or something, I might have actually tried to get one.

GameStop Ireland are offering a limited edition coin... 😔😔😔

I’m going for the one in a free Amazon cardboard envelope.

@sketchturner Definitely seems a lot more interesting than the swag that you get from the Collector's Edition of the game, that's for sure. Art books, pin sets, and steel cases are okay, but I AM a little disappointed that there's no soundtrack like there was for the Special and Master Editions of BOTW, neither of which I was able to get my hands on, mainly due to scalpers.

Frankly, it's a wonder that the scalpers even wanted to scalp the Collector's Edition, considering the stuff you get with the game isn't as good as what came with BOTW, if you ask me. I frankly hope that no one buys those preorders off the scalpers, and then the scalper find themselves with no choice but to sell it at MSRP to break even (or better yet, at a loss).

Don't really know what I'd do with a hunk of wood with random scribbles on it but cool for those interested in it I guess.

I opted for the collectors edition in a different store so will miss out.

As if GameStop wasn't bad enough--now they're chopping down trees and destroying the environment! We must boycott to save our precious ecosystem from deforestation!

...Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm allergic to, like, every tree known to man. Can't breathe with 'em, can't breathe without 'em. I hate those lumber losers! Those carniferous cads! Those subpar spruces! Those birch... well, I can't say that one on this website. Chop them all down! Spill their sap all over the battlefield! This is a rare GameStop W.

Wood you believe it? Tat's incredible!

@Rooty Your pun is so bad, I'll have to arrest you for treeson.

(I like to think your username is also part of this elaborate play on words.)

Finally, I can own the raw material that made Nintendo Labo!

@Kilamanjaro thanks for the info. I am excited for the game and already preordered. I still have my posters for other games that I got at game stop. That said, I won’t be disappointed if there isn’t one for me.

@Horace you wood bring that up?

I will never pre order form GameStop again. O pre ordered Fire Emblem: Engage because GameStop was offering art cards. My copy shipped a week late and without the bonus. When I called customer service they said that I had to get the cards from the store with my online receipt. Turns out the store only got three packs of the cards.

Long story short, GameStop went in a few days before the games release and changed their website to say that the pre order bonus would not ship with the game and instead that it would need to be picked up from the store.

No matter how good the bonus is, I will never ever pre order from GameStop again. It's not worth getting your game late just to find out that you didn't even get the bonus.

I try to stay positive in my comments on this site. Hmm...if you set it on fire, it will keep you warm for a few minutes? If you have a question in a classroom, instead of raising your hand, you can raise this plaque (since there's a hand on it)? Someone mentioned using it as a cutting board - at least then it would be somewhat useful? I don't know, I'm struggling with this one. My purchase probably won't be from Gamestop.

GameStop still exists? Huh.

@Vil Yeah I find it amazing how some people are still trying to prop it up. It's bad enough GameStop ruined the video game store industry.

Very cool but I’ll keep my cheaper 59.99 price I snagged awhile ago thank you.
I also have amassed quite the collection of game merch over the years and my wife is starting to notice what a nerd I am so I best leave this one go 😂

Lol. Not a worthy preorder bonus imo. Great for those who don't have working heaters and need to stay warm I suppose.

Honestly, the print looks kinda cool. If I'm unsuccessful in landing a Collector's Edition (Besides it selling out on storefronts in seconds, I'm having second thoughts as I don't really need any of it besides the art book; I'm a sucker for good video game art), I'm contemplating preordering in-store at my local GameStop anyway since I wanna trade in a couple games. Same day shipping from online orders isn't reliable where I live - found this out the hard way with XC3 - so I'd rather secure a copy I can pick up first thing on launch day anyway.

This is a stupid question, but if I pre-ordered to have it delivered, is it still possible to get this?

I just looked online and it seems Gamestop Ireland has a metal coin.

@ukaskew37 thegamecollection currently has a free poster with the standard game

@Snatcher What shipping issues? The plaque is in-store-only.

Nah....No pre-ordering, no special editions and no physical versions for me. I'm not really a minimalist, but I like my house being free of clutter.

I have it preordered for TOTK LE when it comes out as well in-store only. I've seen people on twitter saying it will be available but I think they are getting this Preorder wrong.

@zgillet Ah, your right, I will re word my comment. Thank you.

@SilentHunter382 Am I crazy, or do those at least look nice to collect.

@Snatcher It’s nice enough… until you realize it’s bark scrap stamped with a vague image

That’s a cool looking cutting board.

Why use "exclusive" in the title? You're always pushing people to pay an extra $50 for some "special" $2 trinkets in a collectors edition.

The collectible that no one wants to collect.

@Horace I am sorry I can’t think of any more: I am drawing a plank.

I’m so pining for this. I’m going to log in to the website and bark from the rooftops until I have this in the palm of my hands.

I’m out.
Ps I’m not getting this. Looks ok but not enough to tempt me.

Sold. I love these kind of gaming trinkets/collectibles.

I like the idea, but not a fan of the art they decided to go with.

In store only, it says. So you can go buy your already opened game box with stickers all over claiming it is new, and when you try to remove the stickers, it rips your plastic case. That's the typical Gamestop procedure.

Too bad I want the electronic version. Maybe Nintendo can send me a hi-res image of the wooden plaque or some other junk…

For all the whinners you wonder why they are even posting. If you want the game preorder for bonus item if not wait to buy later. It's pretty simple action to do. They probably missed the price before when it was first available for a lower preorder price.

I hope it's gonna be in Gamestop Canada!

@SilentHunter382 oh this is also cool!! If there is nothing mention on Game stop canada yet, does that mean we don't get pre-order bonus?

Nevermind! It just got updated, and in canada we will get this pin set: https://static-ca.gamestop.ca/images/products/777099/1min.jpg

Which is arguably less cool than the wooden plaque or the coin in irland - kinda look like a my nintendo reward you'd get for 400 platinum point
