The Zelda: Ocarina of Time Controller’s Best Replacement Is $30 Cheaper Right Now
During Nintendo’s September reveal of gameplay footage for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, the company announced a special edition Switch 2 console and Pro Controller featuring designs inspired by the game. These special edition items have experienced sustained stock shortages at major retailers since their announcement.
For those unable to secure the Switch 2 special edition controller, Amazon-owned retailer Woot is offering an alternative at a discount. The 2023 Switch 1 Pro Controller with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom design is currently available for $69.99, reducing the price by $5 compared to Nintendo’s official asking price of $74.99. The sale runs through midnight Eastern Time on October 5. GameStop is also offering the same controller at an identical $69.99 price point, though availability may change.
The Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller is presently sold out at Nintendo’s official online store, making third-party retailers the primary option for consumers seeking an official Nintendo controller. The sale price on Woot represents one of the lowest available prices for this particular controller variant, making it an attractive option for players who either missed previous availability windows or are unwilling to wait for restocks at full price.
