Nintendo UK has confirmed a special retail event for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, scheduling a midnight launch at Argos’ Tottenham Court Road store in London ahead of the game’s global release on Nintendo Switch 2.
The physical and digital port is set to arrive worldwide on 5 November 2026, with the Nintendo eShop carrying the digital version alongside retail outlets.
In a clear customer-facing announcement, Nintendo UK said Argos will open sales just after midnight on Thursday 5 November, with titles available from 00:05 GMT.
The retailer has outlined a small slate of collectibles for early attendees: customers who queue will receive a free replica of the original PAL Nintendo 64 box, complete with an inner tray and slip case sized to hold a Nintendo Switch 2 copy.
Argos will also hand out a bonus Ocarina of Time key ring to those who attend the launch.
Argos’ Tottenham Court Road pop-up can be found at Argos Tottenham Court Road, 216–217 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7PT, and Nintendo directs interested buyers to the Nintendo Pop-Up Shop website for further details on the event and distribution of promotional items.
This launch follows Nintendo’s usual approach of coordinating retail partners and official channels for major franchise releases, ensuring both physical collectors and digital customers can access the game on release day.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2 represents one of Nintendo’s marquee release dates for 2026, arriving at retail and on the Nintendo eShop the same day worldwide.
For readers planning to attend the Argos midnight event, the store address and official Nintendo Pop-Up Shop page are the primary sources of information about queue policy and collectible availability.
