The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED
Nintendo’s Zelda Direct has unveiled the a new Nintendo Switch OLED colorway today, designed to tie into Tears of the Kingdom. We haven’t had a Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch edition so far, which means mega fans are going to be seeking out a pre-order as soon as they hit the shelves. We’ve been tracking console stock since those heady days of 2020, so we know all the tips and tricks to find a Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED pre-order in good time.
We aren’t seeing any retailers offering stock just yet, but we’ll be checking back regularly and keeping this page up to date with all the latest developments. That said, there are a few retailers we’d recommend keeping an eye on in particular. Last year’s Splatoon 3 special edition launched at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon in the US first, with UK retailers Amazon, Currys, and ShopTo showing up early as well.
These are the stores we’d be refreshing when those Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch pre-orders do go live, and you’ll find plenty more information below. Of course, if you’re just after the game itself, we’re seeing plenty of Nintendo Switch deals up for grabs ahead of that May 12 release date. Be sure to check out our full guide to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-orders for the best offers.
Pre-order The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED in the US
Amazon | Check for stock
Amazon is often one of the first retailers to offer special edition pre-orders, but its also one of the fastest to get your console to you on launch day.
If you’re a Prime member you get that excellent service for free as well. We aren’t seeing any inventory live right now, but stay tuned for more.

Walmart | Check for stock
Walmart generally ties with Amazon for speed, but sometimes outlasts its online giant competitor in stock. Shipping times might be a little slower, but if these pre-orders move fast, Walmart is likely to have your back.
Again, we’re still waiting for stock to land but we’re keeping a close eye.

Best Buy | Check for stock
While Best Buy doesn’t always beat Amazon time-wise, it’s well worth holding out for this selection of Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch pre-orders. We generally see additional merch shipping with Best Buy’s pre-orders, and we’re hopeful for a similar deal this time around.

GameStop | Check for stock
GameStop actually leaked the new Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED before today’s Direct, which means there’s a good chance pre-orders will be alive and well here. Like Best Buy, you’ll likely find some additional extras included here, though they may differ so it’s well worth shopping around.
