The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console and Accessory Preorders Are Live in the UK

While the US and Australia were treated to The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 preorders almost immediately after the dedicated Zelda Nintendo Direct, those in the UK have had to wait patiently for the listings to go live. Well, the wait is over, and preorders are now starting to go live at Amazon, Nintendo's UK store, and Smyths Toys. But act fast, as I suspect the special edition console and accessories will sell out remarkably quickly (as they already have in the US).Here's where to lock in your preorder and what stores to keep an eye on as preorders continue to go live throughout today and the rest of the week.Notably, Nintendo's UK storefront is currently struggling with the sheer number of people trying to purchase the limited-edition console and accessories, so keep trying if you're not having any luck, or open a new browser and try access that way instead. There's also an automated queue system in place for those trying to access the site, so keep that in mind as well.Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition - Switch 2 ConsoleSwitch 2 - The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary EditionSee at Nintendo UKSee at Smyths ToysSee at VerySee at Amazon UK (Not Live Yet)Update, Sept, 9th, 01:26 pm BST: Nintendo seems to have issued a fresh round of preorders for the 40th Anniversary Edition console.
