The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake won’t arrive for another week, but the hype is already in full swing. Not only is the game number two on the “most anticipated games of the year if not the decade” list (bet you can guess what number one is), but Nintendo is also releasing a seriously gorgeous Switch 2 console that’s all dolled up to match the occasion. Demand is high, quantities are low (or non-existent), and here’s everything you need to know.
Securing a copy of the Ocarina of Time game is probably the easiest task you can complete. Digital stock will be plentiful of course, and there will also be a number of midnight release events on November 5th. The New York Nintendo Store will hold one requiring reservations and of course, it’s already full up. I tried calling around to see if either Target or Walmart would have midnight releases but no one save their damnable AI agents would pick up the phone. However, Best Buy and select GameStop locations will be having events. Best Buy will let you show up and purchase the game, pre-order or not, while supplies last. And after calling my local GameStop, it seems like its midnight launch is limited to pre-orders only but that might change the closer it gets to November 5th, so call around or plan accordingly.
At launch, physical copies of the game will come with their covers gilded in foil ala those special Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards.
