Restock Status and Where to Buy In-Store and Online
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Retailers are favoring in-store sales for the Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition to sell directly to genuine buyers and avoid scalper bots, though occasional online restocks still occur with Amazon and Nintendo.
- The high demand for the console, fueled by the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, has led to rapid sellouts and limited online availability, with some Walmart orders canceled due to stock shortages.
- Best Buy and Target are focusing on in-store availability, with Best Buy holding special midnight openings and Target planning more stock from November 5, primarily for walk-in customers.
- GameStop and Walmart may have in-store stock, but customers are advised to call ahead to confirm availability before visiting.
- Consumers seeking the console are encouraged to monitor multiple retailer websites regularly, as stock levels can change quickly and online availability remains sporadic.
