Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 stock live: where to buy the special edition handheld ahead of launch

Walmart | Check stock

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 | Check stock

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 | Check stock

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.

Target | Check stock

Target has also seen Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 restocks in the last week, and typically drops its stock much earlier than other retailers. You might need to set an alarm, but I'd recommend keeping an eye on Target from around 5am on release day.

Nintendo | Check stock

Nintendo itself is also sold out of Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, but has a 'check back soon' message that could spell hope for future stock drops. The brand recently reassured customers that restocks were on their way after stating it "underestimated" demand.

Amazon | In stock

Amazon is still holding onto Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 stock this week, after dropping another round of early orders. That's quite the feat when other stores are stuck waiting for more shipments. Just be warned you're paying £499 for this handheld, though, when the official RRP stands at £434.99.

Argos | Check stock

Argos has also had the special edition handheld on the shelves within the last week. This retailer separates its supplies by postcode so, while many of my go-to checks are drawing a blank at the moment, it's worth checking your own.

Smyths Toys | Check stock

Smyths Toys was one of the first retailers to drop its original wave of Legend of Zelda Switch 2 stock when the handheld was announced last month, so we're expecting more action here on launch day. It's also the only UK retailer I'm seeing with listing pages up for the Pro Controller and carry case.

Very | Check stock

Here's the thing with Very. It often bundles up difficult-to-find stock with extra accessories or games to keep resellers at bay. That means you'll be paying a little more here (though still only RRP for everything you're getting) but stock often holds out a lot longer.

Currys | Check stock

Currys has a listing page for the 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2, but no stock at the moment. More could be on the way, though, things can move quickly here.

Nintendo | Check stock

Nintendo has also stated more stock is on the way, so you'd expect its own store to be one of the first with fresh handhelds up for grabs.
