The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED pre-orders are now live, with Best Buy jumping in early in the US and ShopTo offering early orders in the UK. These are the first listings we've seen since Ninty dropped the announcement for the new special edition yesterday, so we'd recommend heading over as soon as possible if you're looking to bag yourself a new device. Some stores (GameStop in the US and Game in the UK) have already run out of stock. You'll find pre-orders open for those with a Best Buy account at the expected $359.99 MSRP in the US, and for £319.85 at ShopTo in the UK.
We haven’t had a Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch edition so far, which means mega fans are going to be seeking out a pre-order as soon as they hit the shelves. We’ve been tracking console stock since those heady days of 2020, so we know all the tips and tricks to find a Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED pre-order in good time.
There are a few retailers we’d recommend keeping an eye on in particular. Last year’s Splatoon 3 special edition launched at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon in the US first, with UK retailers Amazon, Currys, and ShopTo showing up early as well. These are the stores we’d be refreshing when more Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch pre-orders do go live, and you’ll find plenty more information below.
Of course, if you're just after the game itself, we're seeing plenty of Nintendo Switch deals up for grabs ahead of that May 12 release date. Be sure to check out our full guide to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-orders for the best offers.

What is the Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED release date?
The new console will launch on April 28 and pre-orders are just starting to filter through to the shelves now. That's just a few weeks before the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom release date on May 12.
Does the Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED come with Tears of the Kingdom?
Nintendo doesn't tend to ship its special editions with copies of the games they're tied to, and the same is true here. You'll need to pick up a separate copy of Tears of the Kingdom for the full experience.
We're also rounding up plenty more of the best Nintendo Switch accessories to fully kit out your setup, as well as the best Nintendo Switch controllers and the best Nintendo Switch headsets for a top of the range experience.
