This is a physical pre-order for Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, framed as a full remake with updated visuals and quality of life changes rather than just a graphics tweak. The foil first printing and launch window stock are a big draw, and the price is seen as reasonable compared with Nintendo's own $70 listing and the game's rarity on sale. The main concerns are that it is still a faithful remake of a decades old game, so the value depends on nostalgia, and Amazon preorders have a spotty record for launch day delivery. A solid pick if you want the physical copy and the foil release.

Common Questions (5)

  • The first shipment is supposed to be the foil release, and the foil edition is described as the initial printing. That means launch-window stock from retailers should be the foil version, though the product page also notes supplies are limited.

  • Amazon's pre-order price guarantee should apply, so a lower price drop can be charged automatically for an existing preorder. That makes preordering useful if the price changes before release.

  • Yes. Buying Nintendo account funds at a discount, such as Costco or Sam's Club promotions, can bring the effective price down to about $54, and using store gift cards or certificates can cut it further.

  • This is not a Switch 2 edition; it is a full remake. The release is being treated as a rebuilt version of Ocarina of Time rather than a simple platform upgrade.

  • The question is whether it is a real physical cartridge, not just a box with a code. The thread does not confirm the contents, so the safest assumption is to verify the listing details before ordering.

I ordered when it was $70. So I should cancel and get it for $60. Same thing right? I didn't get like a super premium edition for $70?

Exactly. Nintendo needs to make original games for these prices. I am tired of old remakes we have played before. Big deal if there are graphics upgrades, it's not worth the $60-$70 for them again
$60 is a bargain. You guys spend that much on two door dash orders. Calm down

It released in 1998 for $59.99 before tax (inflation adjusted this was the equivalent of ~$122 today.)

This game has been fully remade with quality of life improvements and can be bought for...wait for it...$59.88!

It's reductive to say "it's just graphics" because there are many talented designers, developers, musicians, and other professionals who masterfully rebuilt this game from the ground up.

Feel free to wait until a special sale or buy it used for cheaper, but objectively, it's already a reasonable price.

I'm in for 1 mostly due to it being likely foil edition. I'm guessing it's still returnable if not.

An inbox copy of Ocarina of Time for N64 cost at minimum $50 on ebay. It isn't just a graphics update.

I don't want foil, and I don't want to spend $60 on uncanny graphics of the exact same game. Downvoted and Cancelled!!! This will be $20 in no time! Be patient!
nintendo's big 5 plus pokemon rarely go on sale. zelda (especially 3d zeldas) even more so. breath of the wild is still close to it's retail price and it's close to 10 years old

I preordered on Nintendo's site. I wanted to make sure I got the foil edition. At least I didn't get charged tax 😅

I have made several pre-orders for Switch 2 games from Amazon, most recently Orbitals. About 50% of the time the game does NOT get delivered on release as promised. Right now Orbitals is showing as being delivered on September 15th when originally it was supposed to be released and delivered on the 3rd.

Apparently Amazon sells more pre-orders than they have inventory for. Prime member as well, for what it's worth.
