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.
