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.

Unfortunately, I just preordered. If it's not foil its going back and if it is I will never open it.

Does anyone know if this physical copy is just a box with a download code/card inside, or is it the actual game cartridge?

Nintendo doesnt do key cards for their first party developed titles.

Are you really expecting this to go up in price?

Yes it is. Until supplies last. Then you'll pay the same for non foil

First Party Nintendo games with their top franchises are hard to compare against other games. Final Fantasy VII is obviously a huge game and franchise but it doesn't mean they follow Nintendo's pricing habits.

I am all for a switch 2 version but $59.88 seems high. For me, $40 is the maximum
When was the last new game for $40?

Of course. Its nintendo/zelda, it's limited, and inflation is will surely happen over time as well.

The second photo on the product page says as such (as supplies last).

This isn't switch 2 edition , this is a full remake

call me crazy but I don't think 1:1 remakes should cost as much as a brand new game, especially considering OOT doesn't need a gameplay overhaul, it's held up well but maybe make the item switching faster than going through menus


the graphics look like they slapped DLSS 5 on it, and if they didn't then even more yikes


would I buy and play OOT again? sure!
would I pay the same price that new games cost? nope
