Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a number of discounts on Nintendo Switch games, with dedicated sales happening at both GameStop and Nintendo's digital eShop.

The big highlight here is likely The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is down to $40 at GameStop in either physical or digital form. That might not sound like a huge price drop for a (borderline essential) game that came out three years ago, but as with most major first-party Nintendo Switch games, major discounts on BotW have been rare. The game has typically retailed around $50 online, with only one drop to $30 on Black Friday last year. GameStop says its current spring sale will last through April 11.

Beyond that, other quality Switch games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Octopath Traveler are also down to $40, while notables like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Diablo III are available for less than their usual street price as well. Smaller-scale gems like the golfing RPG Golf Story and the puzzler Puyo Puyo Tetris are also discounted over on the eShop, so there's a good variety out there for anyone who wants something new to play on the cheap while they're temporarily stuck indoors.
