Posted on
Nintendo's $519.99 Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 sold out quickly, with resale listings reaching $1,700 before the console ships.

Quick Report

Nintendo's Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 sold out within minutes of preorders opening, and resale listings quickly appeared at two or three times the $519.99 retail price. Listings on eBay reportedly range from $700 to $1,700 for the console alone, while some bundles ask around $2,000.

The special edition costs $20 more than the recently increased $499.99 base Switch 2 price and is scheduled to ship on October 29, ahead of the Ocarina of Time remake on November 5. Nintendo previously required 50 hours of logged Switch playtime for some Switch 2 preorders, but it has not yet confirmed whether the same restriction will apply to the next restock.
