Key Points:
- Nintendo's Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 sold out within hours of preorders opening, with high demand leading to immediate sellouts.
- The special edition console features Link-green Joy-Cons and a Triforce-inspired triangular pattern, accompanied by a matching Switch 2 Pro Controller and carry case.
- Retailers priced the console at around £435, slightly above the standard Switch 2, but Nintendo has not yet offered the special edition for preorder on its own store or announced restocking plans.
- Scalpers have quickly listed the console on eBay at inflated prices ranging from $700 to $985 (£520-£730), sometimes bundling it with the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, despite no official bundle from Nintendo.
- The Zelda-themed Switch 2 is set to launch on 29th October, one week before the Ocarina of Time remake releases on 5th November.
