Walmart has an offer for the Zelda fans it just burned: a do-over, but only if you move fast. After canceling Switch 2 pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — in some cases just one day before the game was supposed to arrive — the retailer is giving affected customers a 48-hour window to place a new order, Kotaku reports.
The original cancellations stung precisely because of the timing. Customers who locked in pre-orders expecting day-one delivery instead got cancellation notices on the eve of arrival, leaving them scrambling with no guarantee of finding a copy elsewhere.
The 48-hour replacement window is Walmart's attempt at damage control, but it puts the burden back on buyers: miss the deadline and the second chance evaporates. Anyone who received a cancellation notice should act within the window rather than assume stock will hold.
It's a messy end to a pre-order cycle for one of the Switch 2's marquee releases — and another reminder that a confirmed pre-order isn't always as confirmed as it looks.
