If you or a loved one has been affected by the nightmare that has been Walmart\u2019s\u00a0Legend of Zelda Switch 2 console pre-orders<\/a> being canceled at the last minute<\/a>, the retailer is doing an attempt at a make good, but only for a limited time.<\/p>\n

Check whatever email you used for the initial pre-order and you\u00a0should find a message from Walmart customer service saying that these cancellations were \u201cin error,\u201d and you\u2019ll find an item named \u201cExclusive Reservation\u201d in your cart. Once you hit checkout, you\u2019ll reserve your console, but the email specifies that you only have 48 hours to claim it, so don\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

In some cases, Walmart is throwing in an eGift card for $519, the original price of the console, for the inconvenience for you to use as you see fit. Maybe buy the Zelda pro controller or, I don\u2019t know, groceries.<\/p>\n

People who got Zelda Switch 2 console cancellations from Walmart can reorder the console within the next 48 hours. Check your cart\/email. Checkout page: buff.ly\/xXd1Hy4 #ad <\/p>\n

They also are sending a $519 Walmart gift card for the inconvenience, essentially making the Switch 2 console free<\/p>\n

Hopefully any consoles that have to ship arrive in time for the\u00a0Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time\u00a0remake coming to the Switch 2 on November 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you or a loved one has been affected by the nightmare that has been Walmart\u2019s\u00a0Legend of Zelda…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[75,74,244508],"class_list":["post-900735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-nintendo-switch-2","tag-technology","tag-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
