Nintendo launched the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, offering the game at $59.99 digitally and $69.99 physically. Alongside the software launch, the company released an exclusive two-pin Zelda 40th anniversary set on its US Nintendo Store for 800 My Nintendo Platinum Points plus shipping. [1][2]

The physical pin collection limits buyers to one order per account, pairing the franchise's 40th anniversary logo with the new remake emblem. To claim it, users must spend non-transferable Platinum Points earned through My Nintendo or Nintendo Switch Online missions, which expire after six months. Nintendo also expanded its Nintendo Music service with seven tracks from the remake's score and rolled out new user icons. [2]

The release coincided with a scramble for the $519 Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 console and its matching $99 Pro controller. Multiple retailers, including Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop, offered limited console restocks during in-store midnight launch events, while Target scheduled additional physical availability on November 5 and an online restock on November 6.
