## Key points

- Amazon pre-orders of the Ocarina of Time remake are arriving late.
- Some fans face delays of up to a week.
- Digital sales made up 61.5% of Nintendo software sales in April to June.

## Summary

Nintendo’s Ocarina of Time remake has received glowing early reviews, but some fans who pre-ordered physical copies through Amazon are facing delivery delays. Many are due to arrive after the weekend, with some orders pushed back by as much as a week, leaving buyers unable to play on release day.

Amazon’s customer service account apologised but gave only a general explanation, citing unforeseen changes in obtaining items for dispatch. The delays come as digital purchases grow: Nintendo reported that 61.5% of software sales from April to June were digital, up 2.2 percentage points from the previous year. Most Switch 2 releases use game cards that require a download, raising concerns about storage and long-term access.
