The February Nintendo Direct included several announcements that has got fans of the iconic Zelda series very excited.
Not only is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being remastered in HD for the Nintendo Switch, but releasing alongside the game will be a set of limited edition Joy-Con controllers.
These Zelda-themed Joy-Cons launch today (July 16) alongside the game itself. While they had been a scarce commodity over the last few months with pre-order selling out in minutes, several retailers have restocked for release day.
As of 4:31 a.m. ET on July 16, Target and Best Buy both have The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons in stock. Previously Amazon and Gamestop were taking pre-orders but these retailers have since sold out.
While initial orders did sell out in mere minutes, more stock has become available now that the release date is here. We also expect the official Nintendo store will take orders at some point, which will offer those who missed the first wave a second chance.
In order to help you get your hands on a set, without having to pay double or triple the MSRP, we've put together this guide and will update it with new stock information as we get it.

What are The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons
Released alongside the HD remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, these limited edition Joy-Con controllers are the perfect way to celebrate the beloved franchise's 35th anniversary.
The left Joy-Con is modeled after Link’s Hylian Shield, whereas the right is a tribute to the Master Sword. The two most well-known items in the Zelda canon.
While both joy-cons are a brilliant shade of blue, they’re not quite the same shade with the left being slightly lighter than the darker right Joy-Con - if you want a symmetrical colored switch then these probably won’t be for you.
Whether you’ve been playing Zelda games for the last three decades or the most recent title in the series, Breath of the Wild, was your first adventure in Hyrule these Joy-Cons are the perfect addition to your Nintendo Switch.
