  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launches for Switch 2 on November 5
  • The first print run is getting 'special textured foil packaging'
  • Preorders are still available at the Nintendo Store and other retailers

Nintendo just gave us a closer look at the upcoming Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in a special presentation to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the series, and at the same time, confirmed the release date.

The big news for collectors, though, is that the first run of the physical edition will feature special textured foil packaging, so here's where you can secure your sparkly copy with a preorder ahead of release on November 5.

Looking for console and controller preorders?

The official store opened up preorders first in all regions, and then several other retailers followed shortly after. Stock still seems to be holding well, but I have seen physical copies sell out in some stores, so I'm continuing to keep an eye on availability and share updates for you get.

And while it's extremely unlikely that it will completely sell out ahead of launch, given that the special cover is limited to this initial print run, it's best to be safe if you want to add a copy to your collection.
