Physical copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo Switch 2 are available for $59.88 at Walmart, a $10 discount off the standard retail price. This preorder discount will end on November 5, the game's release date. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a full remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 title, featuring updated graphics, modern controls, and other quality-of-life improvements while remaining faithful to the original's design.
Critics have praised the remake, with Metacritic currently showing a score of 96. IGN's review described the game as an exceptional remake and a rich adventure that stands on its own, highlighting its dense world, charming characters, and intricate dungeons. The review noted that while the dungeons are streamlined compared to the original, the overall depth and attention to detail are high.
Preorders for the game, particularly those with the textured foil cover, have largely sold out at retailers like Amazon. In addition to the game, Nintendo is releasing themed hardware, much of which has also sold out. Some of these items may become available again on November 5, including at Best Buy's midnight launch events.
