Reports have emerged suggesting that pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 may have been canceled in certain regions. Currently, it can only be confirmed that users have reported such incidents; the specific causes and scope of impact remain unclear.
The current evidence primarily consists of a social media post in which the author asked other buyers if their orders were still valid. Neither Nintendo, retailers, nor logistics channels have provided official explanations, and there is no clear data on the number of affected individuals, regions, or order types.
Therefore, it is currently impossible to determine whether this issue is an isolated order anomaly, a problem specific to certain retailers, or a broader supply or system event. Consumers who have already placed orders can check their order status, but further clarification awaits official statements from relevant parties.
The themed console and matching Pro Controller were originally scheduled for release on October 29, 2026, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remastered is planned for release on November 5 of the same year, with two additional amiibo figures slated for 2027. However, these plans do not explain the suspected order cancellations.
