Quick update — who still has stock?
Short version: Carrefour is out, but MediaMarkt just opened pre-orders and has stock. Price right now is about €519 at MediaMarkt. Other shops opened pre-orders earlier but many are already sold out or asking a deposit. Pre-order windows are moving fast — blink and it’s gone.
Where to look (prices and status)
At the moment the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 is listed at various Spanish retailers: MediaMarkt shows it for around €519 and currently has units available; Carrefour launched at about €519 but is sold out; Amazon had listings near €529.99 and is sold out in most spots; Nintendo’s online store listed it at roughly €519.99 but is also out of stock; GAME and some specialty shops opened pre-orders for ~€519.99 but are showing out-of-stock or require a €20 deposit to reserve; other stores may pop up, so keep checking.
What’s different about this Zelda edition (spoiler: it’s very Zelda)
Nintendo dressed the Switch 2 up like it just walked out of Hyrule Couture. The dock gets a black-and-gold treatment with the Triforce front and center, while the console body and back carry subtle engraved Zelda motifs. The Joy-Con pair are green and gold, and there’s a cute little 8-bit Link printed on the right Joy-Con as a throwback wink to the 1986 NES original. Basically everything visible has a Zelda vibe — classy, collector-y and impossible to miss on your shelf.
What you actually get in the box
This special bundle includes the Switch 2 console with the Zelda-themed finish, two themed Joy-Cons (left and right), the matching dock with Triforce art, Joy-Con straps, the power adapter, an ultra-high-speed HDMI cable, and the usual info booklet. Important note: it does not include any Zelda game — games are sold separately.
Release date and game tie-ins
The console launches on October 29, 2026. The classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is scheduled for a separate release on November 5, so you’ll need to buy that game on its own if you want it day one.
A slightly annoying technical detail
According to Nintendo Spain’s press release, this special edition uses the original Switch 2 model which does not have a user-replaceable battery. If you were hoping for the newer European V2 with an easy swap battery, this edition might not be it — something to keep in mind before dropping cash.
Tips to score the best deal (without losing your sanity)
Compare prices across retailers and don’t forget to check shipping costs or pre-order perks — sometimes free delivery or a small bonus evens out a higher sticker price. Read the store’s return and cancellation rules so you aren’t surprised if plans change. Consider loyalty programs like points at GAME or FNAC, which can shave off future costs. And keep this guide bookmarked: pre-order windows and stock levels change fast, so staying glued to updates is your best strategy.
Final thoughts
Want the Zelda collector vibe or just the plain console and a game? Either way, if you’re after this limited edition, move quickly and double-check what each retailer is offering. Forty years of Zelda deserved a fancy outfit — whether it earns a spot on your shelf is up to you.
