Nintendo Switch 2: The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition remains incredibly difficult to find online, with major retailers continuing to show the limited-edition console as sold out. However, that doesn't necessarily mean your chances of getting one are over.
With retailers increasingly shifting their remaining inventory towards physical stores (with several Ocarina of Time midnight launch events also featuring restocks for the special edition Switch 2), some fans may have better luck heading out to their local retailer than waiting for another online restock.
There are several reasons why retailers could be preferring to drop stock for in-store sales only, but an easy explanation would be simply that they are selling to real buyers, rather than aggressive bots set up by scalpers looking to sell the console at a profit.
That being said, retailers like Amazon and even Nintendo themselves are still occasionally going through restocks online, so it's still worth keeping an eye out every day in case you get lucky.
Along with the hype and success of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time arriving on Nintendo Switch 2 this week, demand for the anniversary hardware isn't exactly showing any signs of slowing down either.
After the summer reveal, preorders sold out almost immediately at retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Since then, online availability has remained extremely limited, with sporadic inventory appearing at Amazon and reports of Walmart orders being canceled due to stock shortages.
As I mentioned, Best Buy recently held special midnight openings at select locations for the Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2, with 40th anniversary consoles also available for select walk-in customers, rather than hosting any restocks online. Since then, there are no new signs of any further restocks occurring via the retailer's online store.
Target has also said it will have more stock in stores from November 5 onwards (specifically stating it will also be in-store only in its weekly ad), but it may also be worth keeping an eye online as well in case any turn up there as well.
