The latest Nintendo Direct had several announcements that will greatly excite fans of the iconic Zelda series

Not only will "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" be HD remastered for the Nintendo Switch, but a limited edition Joy-Con controller will be released with the game

This Zelda-themed Joy-Con will be available on July 16, and although it is a few months away, it is already becoming a rather scarce commodity as eager fans buy up the limited pre-order stock

Unfortunately, these already seem to be another game item that duffers will ruin for everyone A few pairs have been popping up on resale sites, and some of them are selling ridiculously well

As of 11:55 am ET on March 11, no retailers are accepting orders for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Cons Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Gamestop previously accepted pre-orders, but all four stores are sold out

Curiously, Best Buy now lists Joy-Con as "coming soon" rather than "sold out" as before Does this suggest that they will be restocked in the near future?

The first orders sold out in just a few minutes, but hopefully more stock will become available as the summer release date approaches At the very least, it is expected that Nintendo's official store will be taking orders at some point

To help you get your hands on a set without paying double or triple the MSRP, we've put together this guide and will update it as new inventory information becomes available

Stock in the US sold out in minutes, but surprisingly there is still no sign of the Zelda Joy-Cons in the UK None of the retailers are taking pre-orders for the limited edition controller

This may indicate that pre-orders are not available in the UK, and instead controller inventory will only be sold after the release date

GAME, a specialty video game retailer, seems almost certain to accept orders at some point, as does the official Nintendo Store UK

It would not be a major shock if the controllers end up being exclusive to these two retailers in the UK, as it is common for GAME to sign agreements with suppliers to sell limited edition third-party products exclusively

We will update this article as soon as we receive information on where this Joy-Con will be available in the UK

This limited edition Joy-Con controller, which will be released alongside the HD remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, is the perfect way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this popular franchise

The left Joy-Con is modeled after Link's Hylian shield, while the right is a tribute to the Master Sword The two most famous items in the Zelda canon

Both Joy-Cons are a bright shade of blue, but the left Joy-Con is slightly lighter than the darker right Joy-Con and not exactly the same shade

Whether you've been playing Zelda games for the past 30 years or the latest in the series, "Breath of the Wild," was your first adventure in Hyrule, this Joy-Con is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch
