Walmart Offers Remedy for Cancelled Zelda Switch 2 Pre‑Orders
If you or a loved one has been hit by Walmart’s sudden cancellation of pre‑orders for the Legend of Zelda Switch 2, the retailer is now trying to make it right — but only for a short window.
Check the email address you used when you placed the order; you should receive a Walmart customer‑service message saying the cancellations were “in error,” with an “Exclusive Reservation” item appearing in your cart. When you go to checkout, the reservation will be secured, but you have just 48 hours to claim it, so act quickly.
In some instances Walmart adds a $519 e‑gift card — the console’s original price — to cover the inconvenience, which you can spend on anything from a Zelda Pro Controller to groceries.
Anyone who received a cancelled Switch 2 order can place a new order within the next 48 hours. Look for the checkout link in your email or cart: buff.ly/xXd1Hy4.
They are also sending a $519 Walmart gift card as compensation, effectively making the Switch 2 free for those affected.

Hopefully any units that ship will arrive in time for the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, scheduled for the Switch 2 on November 5.
