Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console and Accessory Preorders Are Live in the UK

While the US and Australia were treated to The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 preorders almost immediately after the dedicated Zelda Nintendo Direct, those in the UK have had to wait patiently for the listings to go live.
Well, the wait is over, and preorders are now starting to go live at Amazon, Nintendo's UK store, and Smyths Toys. But act fast, as I suspect the special edition console and accessories will sell out remarkably quickly (as they already have in the US).
Here's where to lock in your preorder and what stores to keep an eye on as preorders continue to go live throughout today and the rest of the week.
Notably, Nintendo's UK storefront is currently struggling with the sheer number of people trying to purchase the limited-edition console and accessories, so keep trying if you're not having any luck, or open a new browser and try access that way instead.
There's also an automated queue system in place for those trying to access the site, so keep that in mind as well.

Update, Sept, 9th, 01:26 pm BST: Nintendo seems to have issued a fresh round of preorders for the 40th Anniversary Edition console. These likely won't last long.
These specific Smyths Toys UK stores still have stock available (at least for now):
- Ballymena
- Newstownabbey
- Boucher Road
- Forestside
- Bangor
- Derry/Londonderry
- Newry
Select "Click & Collect" - "Select Store" then "Only show stores with available stock".

We're still waiting on listings at Amazon UK, Argos, Currys, and several other major retailers. Follow IGNUKFinds on X/Twitter for more updates.
The special edition comes decked out in Hyrulian imagery and costs £434.99 via Nintendo (no game included).
The Joy-Cons 2 are green, with an interlocking triangle pattern and a golden Triforce at the bottom of the left grip. The dock features a similar Triforce design, but it’s golden and black.
