How to update Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
If your console is set to allow automatic software updates, then version 1.1.2 of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will automatically begin to download and install once you connect to the internet.
If your console doesn’t allow automatic software updates when a new update/patch comes through, then you can follow these simple steps to update your version of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
- First, connect your Switch console to the internet.
- In the home menu, hover over Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to highlight it (but don’t start it up).
- Press the + or – button (completely your choice).
- Select ‘Software Update’.
- Then select ‘Via the Internet’
- Then, the update should begin to install.
It’s as simple as that! However, the update may fail to install if you don’t have enough room on your SD Card or Switch storage. If this happens, try to clear some space on your chosen method of storage then try to download it again using the steps you used previously.
