Walmart has put the physical version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 up for preorder at $59.88, giving buyers a lower-priced option ahead of the game’s November 5, 2026 release. The listing matters now because the remastered title is already one of the most talked-about Switch 2 games since Nintendo’s September livestream.
The preorder price matches the digital version and sits $10 below the physical price elsewhere, a gap that is hard to miss even without an explanation attached to it. For shoppers, that means the same game can be reserved at a lower cost in physical form, with shipping expected to get it to buyers on launch day.
The remaster is not just a visual refresh. It has been completely overhauled graphically, adds a free camera, gives Link a dedicated jump button and includes a mechanic called Threads of Time. Those changes help explain why the title has drawn so much attention since Nintendo’s September livestream, where a variety of new titles were announced.
That is also why the Walmart price stands out. A $10 difference on a newly announced Switch 2 game is enough to make the physical preorder look less like a placeholder and more like the offer buyers will compare against until launch. What remains unclear is whether $59.88 is a temporary promotion or the price that will hold through release.
The next fixed point is November 5, 2026. By then, buyers who locked in the Walmart preorder should have their copies in hand, and the market will have an answer on whether the lower physical price was a one-off or the new standard for this title.
