June 25, 6:58AM: This page has been updated following new The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom pre-order pages going live in the UK. Amazon and Very are both now offering early orders with the latter promising release day delivery. Amazon has also launched pre-orders for the special Hyrule themed Nintendo Switch Lite as well.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was a surprise drop in the latest Nintendo Direct, but we’re already seeing a few pre-order options out in the wild. Things are a little tricky in the US - at the time of writing, there are no pre-orders available in the US for both the upcoming game and Nintendo Switch Lite tie-in edition. However, those looking to get their copy secured in the UK will have a much easier time finding boxes on the shelves.
We saw the UK go a little early with its listings - discounted games have appeared at The Game Collection and ShopTo so far. However, this week has brought a new wave of availability and we're now seeing Echoes of Wisdom pre-orders available at both Amazon and Very. We'd recommend opting for the latter here - it's the only store we've seen offering release day delivery so far. With UK pre-orders underway, it’s only a matter of time before the US jumps on board as well. You’ll find all the retailers we expect to take the leap first just below.

Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition: Check Amazon
Of course, Nintendo also threw a console-shaped curveball at the end of their latest Direct as well. Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition pre-orders are also difficult to get hold of at the moment in the US, but the UK has just seen Amazon dropping one of the first stock rounds - it's available for £209.99 right now. Like previous limited edition runs, these handhelds are likely to move fast, so we’d recommend you keep an eye on the retailers below for the first signs of stock. The US has already seen Play Asia’s stockpile wiped out in the first day, so this could be a hot one.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom officially launches on September 26, 2024 at $59.99 / £49.99. The Nintendo Switch Hyrule Edition will also release on the same day, and while Ninty hasn’t yet confirmed pricing, some UK retailers’ £209.99 - £219.99 positions suggest a $219.99 - $229.99 price in the US.

FAQ
What is the The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom release date?
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will launch consecutively in all regions on September 26, 2024, alongside the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Editon.
Is there a The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom demo?
At the time of writing, there is no Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom demo to check out in the eShop. However, that could change as we get closer to release day.
What is the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition price?
Nintendo hasn’t officially unveiled the price for its new limited edition Switch Lite. However, UK retailers currently offering pre-orders are either at £209.99 or £219.99. This sits inline with previous special edition runs and compensates slightly for the included 12-month Online subscription. That means we’re expecting US pricing to land at between $219.99 and $229.99.
Will the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition be difficult to buy?
Previous special edition Nintendo Switch Lite consoles have all been limited run, often selling out their initial wave and then appearing on retailer’s sites at slightly higher prices. Still, that initial wave is likely to be fairly large - so if you’re pre-ordering you shouldn’t have too much trouble securing your handheld.
