Best Buy Announces Midnight Opening for Ocarina of Time Launch, Zelda Switch 2 Consoles Also Up for Grabs

Best Buy has announced it will be opening select stores at midnight for the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The major US retailer is gearing up for the highly anticipated release, with its website also now featuring a countdown to November 5.

The midnight launch will also include a fresh batch of stock for the limited-edition Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 consoles and matching Switch 2 Pro controllers.

For now, Best Buy hasn't specified how many systems will be available or which stores will receive stock, but it has warned that quantities are limited. Best Buy has also said that store hours will vary depending on region, so you'll want to check with your local store before heading out.
