You know it's going to be a game-key card, right? Not sure why anyone would ever buy the worst of both worlds... you have to download it anyway, AND you have to keep the cart in the system at all times.

Donkey Kong Bananza had a physical card and didn't require any download whatsoever, I think it'll be the same with Zelda.

My understanding is that for Nintendo is still doing physical releases, meaning not just a keycard, for 1st party games. 2nd and 3rd are all key cards.
Yeah, you're right. I buy so few first party games that I forgot Nintendo was still using actual cards for their own stuff.

Still probably worth buying from Amazon instead when it shows up there. There's a possibility that it'll be $10 cheaper like Fire Emblem, etc. and it will definitely ship a hell of a lot faster.

Yeah. I’d cancel it with Nintendo if it shows up there.
Don't see why it wouldn't, Nintendo and Amazon stopped fighting a long time ago. Should be the foil edition for all stores too. I guess I might as well pre-order it too, I'm a sucker for limited edition physical releases and it's actually coming a week earlier than expected. Didn't want to bother with only one week before GTA 6, but two should be plenty.

I've also, um.... never actually played Ocarina of Time before.

Yeah. It was more a hedge. Plus I never start a new game until I finish my current. And I’ll probably be deep into my backlog then.

Physical preorder is up on Amazon now. No $10 discount, not sure if they'll update the price later or what. Star Fox got the discount up until release day so it's not only limited to the retarded $80 games like Fire Emblem, hopefully just a mistake in the rush to get the listing online.

I placed an order. I havent pre-ordered a game since either WoW Cataclysm or SWTOR. How reliable is Amazon at filling orders?

For something this big it should show up on release day as promised, especially if you've already put in the order this early. Worst case, like my Trails in the Sky 2nd preorder for next week that I only placed a few days ago, it'll arrive one day after release.

MF looks like he came straight out of a 1995 ReBoot episode. What the fuck are these water effects doing in 2026.
