Nintendo fans looking to secure a physical copy of the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Switch 2 can take advantage of immediate retail discounts. While physical editions of the console’s games carry a $69.99 manufacturer’s suggested retail price, online storefronts have dropped prices to incentivize early commitments.
Retail Pricing and Preorder Discounts at Amazon and Walmart
Major US retailers including Amazon and Walmart have knocked $10 off the physical release, bringing the cost down to $59.88 — nearly matching the digital edition’s $59.99 price tag. Preorders for both the digital and physical copies are already available at Amazon. While buying the digital edition runs you $59.99, the boxed version started at $69.99 before dropping to $59.88. Walmart has opened preorders for the upcoming physical release at $59.88—saving you $10 compared to standard retail prices—while Amazon has matched that $59.88 rate and aligned with the digital cost.
Buyers opting for Amazon benefit from a pre-order price guarantee. Customers who pre-order now on Amazon.com are protected by their price guarantee, ensuring that if the cost drops anytime before release day concludes, you will automatically pay the lowest amount. Across both Walmart and Amazon, several upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles—including Metroid Ravenous, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time—have seen their prices slashed by approximately $10.
