Updated on October 29: The Zelda-themed Switch is already sold out on Amazon as of 11:55 ET. Based on what Nintendo officials said in recent days, the console may be restocked at some point in the coming weeks, but there are no guarantees. The original story is as follows.
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 is in stock at Amazon right now, giving buyers another chance to order the limited-edition console if they missed the chance to pre-order it. That opportunity may be brief, as the new Switch 2 model has repeatedly disappeared from retailers and Nintendo’s own U.S. store is already sold out.
Nintendo announced the Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 in September, setting an October 29 release date and a $519.99 launch price in the United States. In other words, the themed model costs $20 more than the standard version of the console. A matching Pro Controller and carrying case accessories are launching alongside the device, but are sold separately.

As of October 29, the official Amazon listing for the Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 is still accepting orders, but availability may not last. Amazon’s earlier October preorder windows repeatedly opened and closed within minutes, while Nintendo’s U.S. store currently lists the $519.99 system as sold out. The matching Zelda Pro Controller and carrying case are unavailable there as well. Scarcity has affected other retailers, with some Walmart customers reporting that their Zelda Switch 2 preorders were canceled just before launch due to stock shortages, forcing them to seek alternatives on release day.
Nintendo has already acknowledged that demand for Switch 2 hardware and accessories tied to The Legend of Zelda‘s 40th anniversary exceeded its expectations, with its Latin America VP and General Manager Bill van Zyll saying as much in a late October 2026 interview. He described the preorder shortage as a global issue, but said it has been particularly pronounced in the U.S., one of Nintendo’s largest markets. The company is working to bring more stock to market, van Zyll added.
