The reason why it's difficult to pre-order: scalpers. Besides that, if you managed to secure a pre-order for both the console and game in either the US or EU, how much did you end up paying (with sales tax / VAT included)? Although, the price for both varies in your region and how much the retailer sells it for.

The Zelda Themed Switch 2 itself is ¥64,607 ($410 / 364€) which includes a screen protector and a pre-order bonus while the physical copy of the Ocarina of Time Remake is ¥7,755 ($49 / 44€). I've pre-ordered mine via Amazon (Japan) for ¥72,362 ($459 / 408€) which is way "cheaper" than in the US & EU.

    My friend was able to secure one after a few weeks of trying. He thought it looked really good so he tried pretty hard to get one. I told him he should keep this one boxed up, i feel like this will be a big collectors item in 10 years but he doesnt care lol.
