Zelda 40th-anniversary Switch 2 hardware and accessories begin selling out
Nintendo has revealed a Zelda 40th-anniversary Switch 2, Pro Controller, and Ocarina of Time amiibo, with several items already sold out or out of stock on Nintendo Stores in the US and Australia. Some physical games and anniversary items are also reportedly selling out at online retailers.
DNA Brief
Signal Summary
The anniversary Switch 2 is priced at $519.99. The Pro Controller with its display stand costs $109.99, the Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo cost $24.99 each, and the $39.99 carry case is out of stock on the US Nintendo Store. The US store has sold out of the Pro Controller and both amiibo, while the anniversary console and Pro Controller are sold out on Nintendo's Australian store. eBay resale listings have appeared, although the source does not give their prices. Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 is listed at $59.99 digitally and $69.99 physically.
Why It Matters
The early sellouts across official stores could make the anniversary hardware and accessories harder to obtain at launch, while the appearance of eBay listings introduces a resale channel before the source identifies any exact secondary-market prices.
