Zelda 40th Editions Sell Out, Nintendo Directs Fans to Store App

Fans must watch the Nintendo Store app for phased restock alerts.

Overview

  • Nintendo’s product pages show the Zelda 40th Anniversary Collection is sold out and the company says it will announce replenishments through the Nintendo Store app.
  • A banner confirming the app alert was visible on UK store pages while U.S. pages currently display a generic “check back soon” message, creating uneven public information across regions.
  • Scalpers relisted the special Switch 2 bundle on resale sites for roughly $850, which is far above the official $520 retail price and has heightened buying pressure for collectors.
  • Nintendo has labeled the hardware a special-edition release and limited in-person allocations mean its New York and San Francisco stores will carry certain anniversary items and the Pro Controller with display stand.
  • The launch also includes collectible extras such as textured-foil cover art for initial physical copies of Ocarina of Time and follows a pattern of past Zelda limited releases selling out and appearing on the secondary market.
