Zelda: Ocarina Of Time's Limited Edition Switch 2 Cover Apparently Had One Retailer Trying To Double Its Orders
Nintendo Life • • technology
Key Points:
- The limited-edition 40th Zelda collection, including hardware and accessories, has sold out at select global locations, and now the physical game copies are also running low due to high demand.
- Retailers, including Gamer Hut, were caught off guard by the popularity of the limited-edition textured foil cover for the Switch 2 version of Ocarina of Time, which was announced after initial purchase forecasts were made.
- Despite attempts to increase orders after the special packaging reveal, production constraints prevented retailers from securing additional stock, leading to temporary sellouts at many online stores.
- Nintendo's official stores, such as in Australia, have issued disclaimers indicating that pre-orders still receive stock from the first print run but warn that the limited-edition packaging will not be available indefinitely.
- The excitement over the exclusive packaging has spurred early pre-orders, with discussions ongoing about the appeal of early bird buyers receiving premium box art ahead of the game's launch.
