Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 34% | Ign is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.99 | +0.198 39% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Amazon has dropped its first early Black Friday sale on board games this week with a 'buy 2, save 50% on 1' promotion. The sale includes a number of tabletop offerings, plushies, and backpacks eligible for those extra savings. But the overall most interesting deal here is on the official Legend of Zelda chess set. This chess set was one of the most popular items during Prime Day 2026 when Amazon shaved only a few dollars off the price, and this deal is arguably better than back then if you plan on buying multiple things at once. If you're looking for a unique Legend of Zelda gift to buy, this is one of IGN's top recommendations. Amazon's BOGO promotions are pretty straightforward, even if the pricing details and inclusions are subject to change.
