Nintendo’s 40th-anniversary Zelda Switch 2 edition is priced at $520 with an October 29 release, but early demand has caused immediate sell-outs at major retailers like Best Buy and Target. While Amazon and Walmart remain open for pre-orders, scalpers are already reselling units for nearly double the MSRP, making the standard price a fleeting opportunity for buyers.

  • According to GN technics/hardware (en-US), initial stock at Target, Best Buy, and GameStop vanished instantly after the announcement, prompting scalpers to list units on eBay for up to $1,000. While Amazon and Walmart still show availability for pre-orders at the $519.99 MSRP, the retailer notes that securing a unit at this price may be a race against the scalpers.

  • According to Tom's Hardware, the $520 console bundle does not include the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, which remains a separate $60 purchase. Pre-orders for the hardware are open now, with a confirmed release date of October 29, 2026.
