Nintendo restocked its in-demand The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 hardware, with new availability from the company’s own online store going online on Thursday. Nintendo’s website is getting hammered under extreme demand, with stock going in and out of availability. Shortly after Nintendo announced renewed availability, the Nintendo Store showed the console as out of stock.
The Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition officially launched on Thursday, Oct. 29, and Nintendo tried meeting demand with a replenished stock of the console. The limited edition console costs $519.99.
Announced in September during a Nintendo Direct showcase, the Legend of Zelda-themed Switch 2 hardware features a black, gold, and green color scheme that is reminiscent of franchise protagonist Link and his Triforce of Courage. Accordingly, the console and its matching controllers display a cluster of triangle-shaped decals surrounding a Triforce symbol and the Hylian Crest. Pre-orders for the console went live in early September and almost immediately sold out.
Nintendo also has Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition versions of the Pro Controller, which costs $99.99 — or $10 more than a typical Pro Controller — but that controller is currently showing as sold out. A Zelda-themed carrying case and screen protector were also released, but there doesn’t appear to be any fresh stock of that Zelda-themed hardware.
Do Walmart, Target, Amazon, or Best Buy have the Zelda console for pre-order?
Unfortunately, major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart appear to be sold out of the Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition.
