Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Pre-Orders Are a Geography Quiz

No global pre-order bonus exists — just regional exclusives, scattered across France, Canada, Japan and the US.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 launches globally on November 21, 2026 — and pre-order bonuses are already split along national lines, with no single region getting the full set. France’s Micromania offers a replica N64 box, large enough to hold the modern plastic case.

Inspired by the 1998 European black-and-gold release. It’s only available at select stores hosting midnight launch events. Online pre-orders there also net a black-and-green wallet and spiritual stones. EB Games Canada gives a holographic slipcover using the original North American artwork.

Japan’s retailers go maximal: Amazon JP ships an acrylic coaster. Others offer figures or a wooden diorama stand. The US gets the bare minimum, just a foil-cover variant at Best Buy, plus limited stock of the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 console and Pro Controller. No retailer in any market is offering all three major physical extras (N64 box, slipcover, diorama) together.

Nintendo has not announced a unified collector’s edition. That leaves fans choosing between geography and gear. Or waiting to see if Nintendo bundles them later. Pre-orders are open now.

The game arrives November 21.
