We’re expecting to see a Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 restock at Walmart tomorrow, as the special edition console officially launches. Despite being sold out for several weeks, and aside from a surprise restock at the Nintendo Store taking place on October 26 which we alerted our followers to, there hasn’t been many stock drops to get excited about.

However, that should change tomorrow, as Walmart is our pick to watch if you’re after the elusive console. The retailer historically reserves stock for launch day events, even if its pre-orders have sold out, and sometimes even offers next-day delivery with snacks – as we saw with the PS5 Pro.

As the largest retailer in the US, Walmart usually gets the most stock – and while Best Buy and Nintendo have announced in-store events on November 5 – Walmart could be piling up units for online orders.

Walmart tends to restock on Thursday and Friday mornings, so the timing also lines up with its usual pattern. Of course, we’ll be tracking every retailer for restocks, and will send out an alert as soon as stock appears.

Hopefully, Walmart will also offer the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller which, like the console, sold out fast. Like the Zelda Switch 2 console, the Pro Controller releases on October 29. Cancelled pre-orders and failed payments could free up more stock, and we’ll also be sending out alerts if we see the Zelda Pro Controller appear.

Why can trust our Zelda Switch 2 restock tracker

Our Zelda Switch 2 restock tracker is the best way to get hold of Nintendo’s special edition console. We’re constantly monitoring all the major retailers for any stock updates, and will send an alert on X to Matt Swider’s followers. Our followers were one of the first to hear about yesterday’s Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 restock before it sold out at the Nintendo Store.

Previously, we’ve helped over 400,000 people buy a PS5 when it was impossible to find during the pandemic, and we’ve continued to help our subscribers find items that quickly sold out or are remain in demand. The Shortcut followers were some of the first to secure the Switch 2 when it went on sale, and we’ve also helped countless others get consoles like the extremely limited PS5 30th anniversary edition.

Remember: you’ll receive a notification on X (if set to on) as soon as new Zelda Switch 2 stock arrives, thanks to our up-to-the-second US store inventory checks at the biggest retailers.
