Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Collection is currently sold out and that it will notify customers when new stock becomes available via the Nintendo Store app.
The Legend of Zelda franchise, developed and published by Nintendo, marked its 40th anniversary with a special Collection release and a series of associated pre-order items.
This week, Nintendo opened pre-orders for multiple anniversary products, including The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 console priced at £434.99; The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and Stand at £92.99; a Zelda-themed edition and screen protector at £92.99; and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake listed at £49.99 (Digital) and £58.99 (Physical).
In a banner notification on the Nintendo Store, the company stated that the anniversary collection had sold out and that details about replenished stock would be communicated through the Nintendo Store app.
Rewritten for clarity: Nintendo told customers that the 40th Anniversary Collection is out of stock and that the company will publish restock timing and availability information through the Nintendo Store app.
The products went on pre-order without a confirmed regional schedule for opening times, and demand quickly overwhelmed Nintendo’s systems.
Reader and user reports indicated that the Nintendo Store queue regularly exceeded an hour, and many customers encountered server and application errors when attempting to add items to their basket or complete checkout.
Following the sell-out, numerous units began appearing on resale marketplaces.
A check of listings in the United Kingdom identified at least 100 consoles being offered on eBay with markup pricing roughly between £100–200 above retail in many cases.
Alex Seedhouse, who has covered Nintendo for 16 years and led outlets’ coverage across multiple console generations, reported the developments and has followed the storefront and pre-order experience closely.
For customers seeking official updates on restock, Nintendo has directed users to monitor the Nintendo Store app for announcements.
Retailers’ timelines and availability may vary by region; customers are advised to follow official Nintendo channels for confirmed restock and shipping information.
