The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026, but its physical preorder extras aren’t the same everywhere. Your bonus depends on both your country and your retailer, with different collectibles offered in Canada and the UK.
If you’re buying in the US, no major retailer-specific preorder bonus has been revealed so far. Early copies will still include a special foil cover, though, so there is a packaging extra to consider if you want a physical copy at launch.
Which Ocarina of Time preorder bonuses are available?
The offers revealed so far break down into three main categories:
- Canada, EB Games: a holographic slipcover modeled on the original Nintendo 64 release’s cover art.
- UK, Nintendo: recreations of the Spiritual Stones, offered exclusively with UK preorders placed directly through Nintendo.
- Early copies: a special foil cover, including for buyers in the US.
The Canadian holographic slipcover and the foil cover included with early copies are described as separate extras. Don’t assume a preorder at your local store includes the Spiritual Stones or the EB Games cover: those offers are tied to specific markets and sellers.
The game arrives after the Zelda-themed hardware
The remake follows the Nintendo 3DS version released more than a decade ago. This Nintendo Switch 2 release updates characters, textures, and animations, while also adding gameplay changes such as a dedicated jump button. An extended gameplay presentation recently showed more of the remake in action.
The accompanying Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 console and many accessories are scheduled for October 29, a week before the game. However, most of the products unveiled during the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct have already sold out, including the console and themed Pro Controller.
Nintendo’s wording leaves open the possibility of further preorder opportunities or restocks, but it does not establish a confirmed restock schedule. If you’re planning to buy the themed hardware alongside the game, current availability is the main obstacle.
Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo are set for 2027
The remake also has amiibo based on Young Link and Young Zelda on the way. Both have sold out of preorders, and neither has an exact release date beyond a 2027 window. They are not currently scheduled to arrive alongside the game in November.
