Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 stock live: where to buy the special edition handheld ahead of launch
Nintendo is preparing several opportunities to buy the Legend of Zelda special edition Switch 2, with stock expected at major retailers around the launch of the Ocarina of Time remake. The expected restocks matter to fans because the handheld and matching controller have sold quickly, and available stock may be limited.
Best Buy expects a small supply at its midnight launch, while Target plans in-store restocking on 5 November and online sales on 6 November; possible Walmart stock is less certain. Amazon has listed the console in the UK at both £429.99 and nearly £500, compared with a stated £434.99 recommended price, and the article advises checking the listing carefully. The remake is sold separately, though Amazon is offering $10 off its US pre-order.
In short
- Zelda Switch 2 restocks are expected at several retailers this week.
- Target plans in-store sales on 5 November and online sales on 6 November.
- Check Amazon UK listings carefully; one is priced at £429.99.
Explained simply
Nintendo is a Japanese company best known for video games and consoles. The Switch 2 is its latest handheld console, which can also connect to a television. Special editions pair the console’s hardware design with a particular game or series; this one is themed around The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo’s long-running adventure series.
The Ocarina of Time remake is a new version of an earlier Zelda game, and is sold separately from the console. The special edition has attracted interest from fans, while supplies have been limited. Retailers set their own prices and release stock at different times, so availability and cost can vary.
