Zelda Switch 2 Restock Dates: Target and Best Buy November 5

The sold-out Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 now has its first announced restock dates. GameRant reported on November 1 that Target and Best Buy both plan to sell more consoles on November 5, the same day the Ocarina of Time remake launches on Switch 2. Nintendo says it is still working to replenish stock but has not shared a date of its own.

What the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Is

It is a special edition Switch 2 made for the series' 40th birthday. In Nintendo's own announcement from September 8, 2026, the company describes Triforce designs on the back of the console, on the dock and on the Joy-Con 2 controllers, plus themed wrist straps. The box also has the usual grip, AC adapter, USB-C charging cable and HDMI cable. No game is included, so the Ocarina of Time remake is a separate purchase.

Nintendo also made two matching accessories that launched the same day:

• A Zelda themed Switch 2 Pro Controller, which Tom's Hardware reported at $99.99 in the US
• A carrying case with a screen protector

The console launched October 29. If you follow Switch 2 add-ons, the Pokemon Switch 2 controllers from HORI are another themed accessory that opened for pre-order this fall.

When and Where the Zelda Switch 2 Restocks Drop

Here is what retailers have said as of November 1, 2026. Dates can move, so check with your store before you go.

Target has not said how many units it will have. The Shortcut noted that Target's own listing was updated to show the November 5 store date and the November 6 online date.

Best Buy will have consoles at select stores during its Ocarina of Time midnight launch events on November 5, and GameRant says the Zelda Pro Controller will be there too. Not every store takes part, so check your local store's event details and hours ahead of time.

The US price has been reported at $519.99. HotHardware noted that is $20 more than the standard $499.99 Switch 2. Prices can change, so check the shelf tag or the listing. Expect purchase limits on a console this hard to find, and be kind to the staff running a midnight launch. They do not decide how many units the store gets. For the earlier dates and how the October 29 launch went, see the Zelda Switch 2 restock dates we covered last week.

Early Resale Signs for the Zelda Switch 2

The resale reports so far come from before launch. When pre-orders opened in September, HotHardware reported the console sold out almost right away. In the eBay listings it checked that ended in a sale, the going rate was around $800, and the highest sale it saw was $1,250 for a listing that came with extras.

Nintendo has talked about the shortage publicly. CBR reported that Bill van Zyll, general manager of Nintendo Latin America, told the Brazilian YouTube channel Coelho no Japão that the sellout was happening everywhere and that Nintendo underestimated how well the console would be received. He apologized to fans and asked for patience but did not give a restock date.

No outlet has reported resale numbers since the November restocks were announced. More supply is on the way, and nobody has published how big it is, so treat the September eBay numbers as history, not as a guide to what the console sells for now.

Bottom Line

The Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 sold out fast, and Target and Best Buy are the only big US stores with public restock dates so far: November 5 in store and November 6 on Target's site. Walmart, Amazon and the Nintendo Store could add dates later, so keep checking. If you also follow PlayStation hardware, the PS5 Prism Collection controllers are another limited look heading into the holidays.
