Nintendo is marking the 40th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda with a remake of one of Link’s most legendary adventures, Ocarina of Time, and the release of a limited-edition Nintendo Switch 2 console and matching Zelda-themed Pro controller. We still have to wait an extra week for the remake's launch, but the console and controller arrive today (Oct. 29).
Anything Zelda tends to be popular, and when the stunning console and controller went up for pre-order in early September, available stock was snapped up in mere minutes. However, now that launch day has arrived, there’s a good chance we’ll see restocks of these items.
As of now, no retailers have confirmed restocks. However, Nintendo has promised to make more stock available, and the release day seems a very appropriate time to reopen the floodgates. So, I’m keeping a close eye on all the major retailers for any sign of a fresh opportunity to secure the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 console and controller.
I’ve been covering pre-orders and restocks at Tom’s Guide for more than five years, and in that time have helped thousands of gamers get their hands on hard-to-buy items. I’m putting all that experience to good use today to (hopefully) help you pick up some Zelda goodies.

I'm a Senior Entertainment Editor at Tom's Guide and a more recent convert to The Legend of Zelda series. Breath of the Wild on Switch 1 was my first Zelda experience, and I can't wait to finally play Ocarina of Time.
Live updates
Check out our Zelda preview while waiting for restocks!
If you want to fill some time until Zelda Switch 2 restock (hopefully) appears, then give our Zelda: Ocarina of Time preview a read! A couple of members of the Tom's Guide team have already played it (yes, I'm very jealous), and this remake is shaping up to live up to the legacy of the original, and then some.
Don't forget to also pick up Ocarina remake!
One quirk of the Zelda Switch 2 is that it doesn't include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake game. Naturally, anybody looking to pick up this LE console is going to be a Zelda fan, so will undoubtedly want to be playing this stunning looking remake at launch. You can pre-order the game now, ahead of its launch next week (on November 5), and the first print of the game comes with a limited launch edition foil cover, which will look seriously great on display!
No sign of Zelda Switch 2 restock so far!
As of 7:30 a.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. GMT there's no Zelda Switch 2 stock across all the retailers I'm tracking. However, at least in the U.S., this was expected, retailers typically restock in the mid-morning (most commonly between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.). So Zelda fans in the States should keep watching. Meanwhile in the U.K., we could see restocks at anytime from now, so I've got a close eye on retailers.
Here's what everybody is trying to buy!
If you've been out of the loop on the Zelda Switch 2 console, then it's pretty much what it sounds like: A special edition Nintendo Switch 2 with a swanky The Legend of Zelda themed design. It's a pretty nifty limited edition console, and when you factor in the Zelda aspect, it's no surprise that it's in very demand.
Welcome!
Good morning, welcome to Tom's Guide's live coverage of the Zelda Switch 2 console and controller launch day. I'm keeping an eye across major retailers and will alert you if there's any restocks of these tough to find limited edition items.
