Hoping to buy the Hori Ocarina of Time accessory? You'll need luck on your side, because it's rough out there. This controller is selling out all over the place, and it's being snapped up almost as quickly as it's appearing on digital shelves. Even Lord Jabu-Jabu couldn't do a better job vacuuming up all the stock.
That doesn't mean you should give up hope, though. I've been tracking the accessory since it went live, so I've got practical advice on the stores to prioritize if you'd like to buy the Hori Ocarina of Time. As of now, my top contender for the US is Best Buy. Its listing reads "coming soon," so it'll only be a matter of time before stock appears. As for where to buy it in the UK, I'd keep an eye on the Nintendo Store. I've seen it there in other regions, so the accessory will surely become available on the British equivalent soon.
If those don't pay off, I've also included a few other options of where to try. Some of those stores don't have stock yet, but they're pretty reliable for other accessories, so should get the Hori Ocarina of Time eventually. As evidenced by the likes of Target gaining stock before selling out while I wrote this article last week, it can happen without warning.

Hori Electric Ocarina of Time FAQ
When does the Hori Electric Ocarina of Time come out?
The Hori Ocarina of Time accessory was slated to launch on November 5, 2026, so it should be available to buy now. However, it isn't necessarily appearing everywhere at the same time; Hori UK is claiming it doesn't hit shelves until November 27, for instance.
What does the Hori Electric Ocarina of Time do?
Rather than being an instrument in its own right, the Hori Ocarina of Time is a controller that connects with the Switch 2 and lets you play Ocarina songs in-game with buttons placed where the air holes would be. Because it's an exact match to the ocarina Link is using on-screen, it provides a far more immersive experience.
How does the Hori Ocarina of Time work?
Hori's Ocarina of Time accessory lets you play songs in-game by connecting with the Switch 2, and there are two distinct modes: free play lets you press the finger hole buttons and figure out the tune yourself, while auto-play mode allows you to press one of 12 songs when you hit a button.
