Nintendo Store UK
The Nintendo Store UK is the official channel and the only retailer offering the Pro Controller with a display stand. Pages are running a Queue-it waiting room because of demand, so shoppers should expect to wait before reaching a listing.

GAME
GAME was among the first UK retailers to open pre-orders for the physical edition of Ocarina of Time. Console listings have not appeared consistently, so shoppers should check the site directly.
Retailers expected to list soon
IGN reported that Amazon UK, Argos, Currys, Very and ShopTo are expected to add listings or restock over the coming days. None of the five had live console stock at the time of writing.
Updated pricing
The standard Switch 2 costs £419.99 in the UK after Nintendo’s recent price increase, and the anniversary edition sits at a modest premium over that figure. Physical copies of Ocarina of Time range from around £62 at the Nintendo Store to £69.99 at Smyths.
Matching accessories and the console all arrive on 29 October, with Hori’s official acoustic and electric ocarinas also launching for use with the game’s microphone feature.
