Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Every country’s pre

People who buy from Amazon Japan will get a spoon or a fork!

If you order The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from GameStop in the United States, you’ll get wood — a wooden plaque. Sure, it's an ornate collectible, but it's nowhere near as cool as the pre-order gifts you could get by ordering the game in other countries, like Japan, which is giving away Tears of the Kingdom forks and spoons. There's nothing I want more than to invite my family over for Christmas dinner and bring out the fancy china: My Tears of the Kingdom cutlery set.

Look, it makes sense in some ways. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild included cooking, and we can safely assume Link will have to eat in Tears of the Kingdom, too. Does he use cutlery, or does he just smash that plate on his face? Who can say? The important thing is that you can use cutlery. You can get the fork and the spoon by ordering the more expensive Collector's Edition, or just get the spoon with the standard copy.

Regardless, Japan and the United States aren't the only countries with their own, unique pre-order bonuses. And thankfully, the Nintendo Switch isn't region-locked, meaning that you could purchase a game from any country, regardless of where you live and play it. The problem is determining whether you’ll be able to get the pre-order bonuses shipped outside of their respective countries, so order at your own risk.

Strap in, because Korea's got a ton of different pre-order bonuses. Korean Tears of the Kingdom buyers can choose from a desk mat, coaster, blanket, 240-piece puzzle, passport cover, tote bag, beach towel, or key ring set, depending on where they buy the game.
