While the US and Australia were treated to The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 preorders almost immediately after the dedicated Zelda Nintendo Direct, those in the UK have had to wait patiently for the listings to go live.
Well, the wait is over, and preorders are now starting to go live at Nintendo's UK store and other UK retailers like Smyths Toys. But act fast, as I suspect the special edition console and accessories will sell out remarkably quickly (as they already have in the US).
Update, Sept 9, 04:25 pm: For the moment, the Zelda Switch 2 console is available at EE, and the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller is available at Amazon.
Here's where to lock in your preorder and what stores to keep an eye on as preorders continue to go live throughout today and the rest of the week.
Amazon is also now taking preorders for the Switch 2 Pro Controller, but is charging £89.99 rather than £79.99 like other retailers (it doesn't include the display stand like at the Nintendo Store).
Notably, Nintendo's UK storefront is currently struggling with the sheer number of people trying to purchase the limited-edition console and accessories, so keep trying if you're not having any luck, or open a new browser and try access that way instead.
There's also an automated queue system in place for those trying to access the site, so keep that in mind as well.
These specific Smyths Toys UK stores still have stock available (at least for now):
