Nintendo Life reports the Switch 2 limited-edition textured foil cover for Zelda: Ocarina of Time prompted at least one retailer to attempt to double its orders after physical software sales outperformed expectations, IGN Brazil said via My Nintendo News. The publisher says retailers and online stores are running out of copies of the game in some locations. Nintendo Life also reports a separate limited-edition 40th Zelda collection of hardware and accessories sold out at select locations. Gamer Hut commercial director Ricardo Vieira told IGN Brazil the team initially felt prepared during purchase forecasting but that changed when the first print cover was announced during the Direct.
