Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console Sells Out as Scalpers Inflate Pre-Order Price
Pre-orders for the special-edition console and Zelda-themed Pro Controller sold out quickly, and eBay listings are now running hundreds above MSRP.
- Following the Nintendo Direct, the Zelda Anniversary Edition Switch sold out at major retailers including Best Buy, Amazon, and Target, with units scheduled to ship to buyers on October 29th.
- Priced at only $519.99, the Zelda Anniversary Edition Switch costs just $20 more than the base model, contributing to rapid depletion of available pre-order stock.
- Scalpers are flipping pre-orders on resale sites, with listings averaging around $850, while Scalper Discord channels deploy automated bots to secure limited console inventory.
- The Zelda-themed Pro Controller is also sold out at retailers, with resale prices reaching $170–$200, coinciding with the approaching Ocarina of Time remake release.
- Buyers seeking pre-orders should verify seller ratings and confirm stock is secured before purchase, as scammers may attempt to sell empty boxes instead of consoles.
