Walmart Reopens Zelda Switch 2 Pre-Orders

Walmart is trying to fix canceled pre-orders for its Legend of Zelda Switch 2 console. Customers who were affected should look for an email from Walmart customer service saying the cancellations were made in error.

That email includes an item called “Exclusive Reservation” in the cart. Once customers go through checkout, they can reserve their console again. But there is a catch: the email says they only have 48 hours to claim it.

Walmart is also giving customers an eGift card worth $519, which matches the original price of the console. The card can be used for anything, including Zelda accessories or other purchases. The timing matters because the console may need to arrive before the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake lands on Switch 2 on November 5.
