Nintendo is giving the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a full physical release, and it is arriving with several special editions that differ by region. Some are open to everyone, while two of the most collectible options are locked to specific countries. Here is exactly what exists and where each one is sold.
Quick answer: The remake ships in a standard physical edition sold widely, a limited textured-foil pre-order cover at standard retailers, a Nintendo 64-themed slipcase exclusive to EB Games in Canada, and a Spiritual Stone pin set exclusive to the Nintendo store in Europe. Every physical copy costs $10 more than the digital version.
Every Ocarina of Time remake edition and where to buy it
| Edition | Where to buy | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Physical Edition | Nintendo Store and general retailers | Boxed Switch 2 copy, $10 more than the digital version |
| Textured Foil Cover | Standard retailers (limited pre-order bonus) | Textured foil-printed cover art while pre-order stock lasts |
| Nintendo 64 Slipcase Edition | EB Games (Canada only) | Guaranteed foil cover plus an N64-styled slipcase, no extra charge |
| Spiritual Stone Pin Set | Nintendo store (Europe) | A pin for each Spiritual Stone and a playable replica ocarina |
Standard physical edition and the foil pre-order cover
The base option is the standard physical edition, available through the Nintendo Store and other retailers. It is a normal boxed Switch 2 copy, and like the other physical versions it runs $10 higher than a digital download.
Pre-orders through standard retailers add a textured, foil-printed cover. This is a limited bonus tied to pre-ordering rather than a separate product, so it is only guaranteed while pre-order supplies hold up.
Nintendo 64 slipcase edition (EB Games Canada only)
Nintendo is partnering with EB Games on a Canada-exclusive version of the remake. Buying the physical edition there guarantees the textured foil cover and adds a slipcase modeled on the original Nintendo 64 release. It is a near-exact replica of the classic box, stretched slightly to fit the more rectangular Switch 2 case.
The slipcase does not cost anything extra. Anyone who buys the physical edition can bring their receipt to a local EB Games to claim it, while supplies last. Because it is region-locked, players outside Canada cannot get this variant through official channels.
Spiritual Stone pin set (Nintendo Europe)
A separate UK and Europe exclusive is sold through the European Nintendo store. Pre-orders there include a pin for each of the Spiritual Stones that Link collects during the story, along with a replica of the ocarina that you can actually play in the game.
Note: This pin set and the Canadian slipcase are tied to their regions, so importing is the only route if you are outside those areas. More regional bonuses could still appear as the release approaches.
Unconfirmed collector’s edition and themed hardware
A French retailer listing pointed to a broader lineup for the Switch 2, including a Collector’s Edition of the game, an Ocarina of Time-themed console, a Pro Controller, and a matching Joy-Con pair. The listing carried no images, prices, release dates, or details about what a Collector’s Edition would contain.
Nintendo has not announced any special-edition hardware, so treat these as unconfirmed. Images of what was described as a 40th-anniversary Switch 2 console and Pro Controller also circulated separately, and it is not clear whether that hardware and the retailer listing refer to the same products. The remake itself is set to launch before the end of 2026, with a firm release date still to be confirmed.
Classic Nintendo 64 collector’s editions and their prices
If you are chasing the original special versions rather than the remake, two vintage releases dominate the collector market. The 1998 Collector’s Edition ships on a gold cartridge and turns up regularly on eBay. The PAL Special Edition, a German-exclusive release that came bundled with a pin, is far rarer and sells for much more.
| Condition | N64 Collector’s Edition (gold cart) | PAL Special Edition (German) |
|---|---|---|
| Loose | ~$160.92 | ~$697.97 |
| Complete | ~$536.85 | ~$697.97 |
| New (sealed) | ~$1,440.17 | ~$1,885.00 |
| Graded | ~$3,325.11 | ~$2,073.50 |
| Box only | ~$158.67 | ~$279.19 |
| Manual only | ~$40.25 | ~$174.49 |
These figures reflect recent completed sales and move over time. The Collector’s Edition changes hands often, roughly a loose sale per day, while sealed and graded copies are much scarcer. The PAL Special Edition is rare across every condition, with sealed and graded examples appearing only occasionally.
For the remake, your choice mostly comes down to region. The standard copy and its foil pre-order cover are the widely available picks, while the Canadian slipcase and the European pin set reward players who can order locally in those markets. With the launch still ahead, keep an eye out for additional regional bonuses that could widen the options.
