The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 special edition launches in just one day, but stock hasn't exactly been silent in the lead up. This week we've seen a number of retailers dropping the special edition handheld onto the shelves after early orders sold out in September.
The 40th Anniversary handheld has been restocked across both the US and UK in the last week (and is even still available at Amazon). Right now, it's all quiet in the US but with Target and Best Buy both having dropped new waves of Legend of Zelda Switch 2 stock in the last week there's certainly cause for optimism.
The now-iconic green and gold device is set for official release tomorrow, October 29 - a week ahead of its Ocarina of Time Remake counterpart. While the special edition doesn't include the game in the box, it does feature a unique set of green Joy-Con and that stunning golden dock design. At $519.99 / £434.99, the Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 hits slightly ahead of the handheld's new $499.99 / £419.99 recommended retail price.
I've been tracking hard-to-find stock for over six years now, starting with the incredibly limited releases of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. I've been reporting on how retailers operate with high-demand products, from anniversary releases to brand new consoles, ever since then - including the Nintendo Switch 2 itself.
Walmart usually runs its restocks in the morning, so this is one to check while the coffee brews. Its initial Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 stock run went live pretty early on announcement, so restocks could pop up here sooner than others.

Best Buy has restocked the Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 once in the last week, which means early orders ahead of that launch date might be a little more difficult to come by. However, it's already shown it's on the receiving end of new allocations.
Amazon is generally late to these kinds of parties. The retailer struggled to stock even the base edition Switch 2 during its own launch last year and doesn't have a listing page live for the Legend of Zelda edition. That could all change when we move from 'pre-order' to 'launch' phase, though, and with warehouses this big there's likely to be a larger allotment waiting here.
