Walmart has opened physical preorders for Switch 2 games with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time priced at $59.88. The game is set for November 5th, 2026, so buyers who lock in the listing now are buying into a launch-day delivery window rather than waiting for release-week stock.

That $59.88 figure is $10 below the physical price elsewhere, and it matches the digital price. For buyers choosing a boxed copy, the preorder is the cheaper route at Walmart, even though the same game costs the same in digital form.

Nintendo first put the remastered title in view at its September livestream, and the version listed here is not a straight rerelease. The game has been completely overhauled graphically, and it also adds improved physics, a free camera, Threads of Time, and a dedicated jump button for Link.
Those changes point to a remaster built for playability as much as nostalgia. A free camera and a jump button change how movement feels moment to moment, while improved physics and Threads of Time suggest the older game logic has been reworked instead of simply repackaged.

The practical tradeoff is simple for anyone deciding now: Walmart’s physical preorder is the lowest listed physical price in the facts here, but it is not a deeper discount than the digital version. The listing should still ship in time to reach buyers on launch day, which makes the preorder useful for anyone who wants the boxed copy without missing the first wave.
What Walmart’s pricing does not explain is why the physical copy is cheaper there than other physical copies.
