- Argos had 500 copies of *Ocarina of Time*.
- Some fans waited through the night for the special casing.

## Summary

More than 600 people queued outside a Tottenham Court Road Argos for the midnight launch of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*. Fans travelled from other cities and some waited for hours, making the event a sizeable gathering despite only 48 hours’ notice; the queue’s length also meant some may have left without a copy.

Argos had 500 copies available, including a special N64-inspired casing, while some fans had camped outside since 6pm the previous evening. The crowd shared memories of the game, played games and listened to ocarina music as they waited; the reporter described the atmosphere as welcoming, with a brief dispute over queue-jumping during the early hours.
