Нөхөн төлбөрийн санал зөвхөн Walmart-ын цуцалсан урьдчилсан захиалгатай хэрэглэгчдэд хамаарна.
Polygon-ийн мэдээлснээр, Walmart АНУ-д The Legend of Zelda-ийн 40 жилийн ойд зориулсан хязгаарлагдмал Nintendo Switch 2 загварын захиалгыг хэтрүүлэн авч, заримыг нь худалдаанд гарахаас нэг өдрийн өмнө цуцалжээ. Үүнд өртсөн хэрэглэгчдийн заримд 519.99 ам.долларын Walmart цахим бэлгийн карт санал болгож байгаа бөгөөд мэдээлсэн имэйлд уг картыг ажлын 10 хоногийн дотор илгээнэ гэжээ.
Санал нь зөвхөн Walmart цуцалсан урьдчилсан захиалгад үйлчлэх бөгөөд уг консолоо өөр газраас эсвэл дараа нь худалдан авсан бүх хүнд хамаарахгүй. Walmart ихэвчлэн захиалгын төлбөрийг барааг илгээх үед авдаг тул цуцлагдсан консолоо зарим хэрэглэгч төлбөр төлж амжаагүй байх боломжтой.
Зарим хэрэглэгч бэлгийн картын оронд шинэ нөөц худалдаанд гарахаас өмнө консолоо авах тусгай эрх авсан гэж мэдээлжээ. Тэдэнд санал ирснээс хойш худалдан авалтаа хийх 48 цаг олгож байгаа аж.
Эрэлт ихтэй байсан уг консоль дахин худалдах сайтуудад 1,200 ам.доллараас дээш үнээр тавигдаж байв. Nintendo Switch 2-д зориулсан The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time шинэчилсэн хувилбар таван жилийн настай технологи ашиглаж байгаа гэх мэдээлэл шүүмжлэл дагуулсан бөгөөд тоглоом 2026 оны арваннэгдүгээр сарын 5-нд зөвхөн Nintendo Switch 2 дээр гарна.

The Legend of Zelda fans are reportedly receiving over $500 in compensation after Walmart cancelled pre-orders for the limited-edition 40th anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda console. However, not every customer is eligible for the gift.
Many gamers received their gorgeous Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 consoles late last week, with a second batch of pre-orders arriving this week, just in time for the highly anticipated Ocarina of Time remake.
The console was in huge demand from the get-go, with scalpers quickly snapping up stock and listing it on resale websites for over $1,200. Nintendo later restocked pre-orders at various retailers, but the console remained incredibly hard to come by. As a result, not every order was fulfilled, leaving many Zelda fans disappointed.
Which retailer is gifting $500 and who qualifies?
The retailer in question is Walmart in the US, as reported by Polygon following a post from the X account Austin John Plays.
“So it looks like following the fumble of Walmart cancelling Zelda Switch 2 preorders, they’re just giving me a $519 gift card?” the post reads.
“They didn’t charge for the original system. This is a real email from a real address. It’s arriving in 10 days. If true, this is a huge saving face for good press.”
Walmart is reportedly offering the compensation after overselling its pre-order allocation for the limited-edition Nintendo Switch 2 console, resulting in some orders being cancelled just one day before its October 29, 2026 release.

Some affected customers are reportedly being offered a $519.99 Walmart eGift Card. Unlike retailers that take payment when a pre-order is placed, Walmart generally charges customers when an item ships. This makes the reported offer particularly interesting, as some customers may not have actually paid for their cancelled console.

According to the reported email, the $519.99 Walmart gift card will be sent within 10 business days. However, it’s worth noting that this offer appears to be limited to customers whose pre-orders for the particular Zelda console were cancelled by Walmart. It is not a general offer for everyone who has since purchased the console.
Some customers have reportedly said they haven’t been offered the Walmart gift card but have instead received an exclusive reservation to purchase the console before additional stock becomes generally available. These customers are reportedly being given 48 hours from receiving the offer to purchase the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Recently, Nintendo has come under fire from The Legend of Zelda fans following reports that the highly anticipated Ocarina of Time remake is using five-year-old technology on the new Nintendo Switch 2 console.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake releases exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026.
