The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller – The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition costs $99.99 at retail. Searches for it rose sharply this week as the Zelda Ocarina of Time launch pulled attention back to the Zelda hardware. On November 8, 2026 the Nintendo Store listing showed Sold out, and so did Best Buy. Sealed copies sold on eBay for roughly $150 to $170 in the last two days, about 50% to 70% over retail. Nintendo has not published a production number, so there is no official "how rare" figure.
How much is the Zelda 40th Anniversary Pro Controller?
- Nintendo Store (US): $99.99, per the official product page.
- Best Buy: $99.99, per its product listing.
- Version with a display stand: $109.99, which our earlier Zelda 40th Switch 2 write-up lists as the Nintendo Store version.
The controller launched October 29, 2026 alongside the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 console.
Is it sold out? Restocks
When we checked on November 8, both the Nintendo Store and Best Buy showed the controller as sold out. Our release-day restock post covers what to expect from refills. Retailers can refill with little warning, so a sold-out label today is not a promise of anything. If you want one at retail, check the store pages above before paying a reseller.
What is the Zelda 40th Pro Controller worth on eBay?
eBay sold listings, checked November 8, 2026 (sales from November 7 and 8, controller only, sealed):
- Most sales: about $152 to $170 (examples: $152, $155, $159.99, $162.99, $164.99, $165.99, $166.99, $169.99).
- With extras: a listing that included a carrying case sold for $200.
- Outliers: a few much higher sales exist, but they are not the market price.
That is a clean, tight band for a two-day sample. It is also a one-weekend snapshot, so we will re-check it in a week.
The math: what does one flip net?
Say you buy at retail, $99.99, plus tax and shipping if you order online.
- Sell at $160: eBay takes roughly 13% in fees, about $21, leaving about $139. Shipping a boxed controller costs around $8 to $10, so you net about $129 to $131, a profit of roughly $30.
- Sell at $150: about $130 after fees, $120 after shipping, a profit near $20.
- Buy from another reseller at $150 and you have no room.
The margin is real but small, and it only exists if you can buy at retail. After the first rush it also depends on restocks staying thin.
Flip, hold or pass
- Flip if you can buy at $99.99. About $20 to $30 a unit after fees is fine for a quick turn. Do not reorder above retail.
- Hold a sealed copy only if you want it. A limited Nintendo controller tied to a 40th anniversary has collector appeal, but there is no sold history yet beyond the first weeks.
- Pass above about $125. Once you pay a reseller's markup, fees eat the spread.
