If you thought the Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 was in high demand, spare a thought for those searching for the special Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller.
Despite releasing alongside the console on October 29, we only seen one brief restock at Walmart on November 5. Nintendo’s online storefront has continued to receive sporadic drops of the Zelda Switch 2 console, but our restock hasn’t detected any fresh inventory of the coveted Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 Pro Controller.
Best Buy, Target and GameStop have also remained sold out of the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller, with it last showing in stock on October 29 – the day the in-demand accessory released.
Like the special edition console, it’s easy to see why the Switch 2 Pro Controller is proving to be so popular. It’s the easier purchase if you already have a Switch 2, and features the same gold and royal emerald design of the Zelda console. At $99.99, it’s also a lot kinder on the wallet, even if it is $10 more than the standard Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller we’re used to.
Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller could restock at these retailers
Walmart Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller restock
We’ve been hedging our bets on Walmart getting a fresh batch of Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller stock, and it’s last retailer that we tracked that has held a restock since October 29.
Walmart issued eGift vouchers to those it accidentally oversold a Zelda Switch 2, giving customers $519 in credit. That will likely be burning a hole in many people’s pockets, and many may be waiting for the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller to come back in stock.
Target Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller restock
Target re-opened orders for the Zelda Switch 2 console on November 6, and we were hoping to see the same for the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller. Sadly, we’re yet to see the Pro Controller restock at Target, but we’re tracking it nonetheless.
Nintendo Store Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller restock
Despite being a fairly consistent source of Zelda Switch 2 console restocks (even if there’s only a few units each time), Nintendo hasn’t restocked the Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller. It’s the only place selling the controller with the display stand, too. Of course, our tracker will keep you alert if any restocks take place.
Best Buy and GameStop Zelda Switch 2 Pro Controller restock
Best Buy and GameStop held some stock for its midnight launch on November 5, but we’ve yet to see inventory online from either retailer. Hopefully, that changes soon.
