Nintendo NY and SF to host Zelda midnight events

Nintendo has confirmed reservation-only launch events for *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* at Nintendo New York and Nintendo San Francisco. The stores will remain open around midnight ahead of the game’s release, with limited quantities of the game and selected Zelda-themed hardware available to customers.

Attendees must obtain a Warp Pipe Pass in advance. One pass is permitted per person, and reservations will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

New York event scheduled for November 5

The New York launch event is scheduled for 12:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. on November 5. Reservations are set to open at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on October 26, which was also the date the event details were reported.

The store lists a purchase limit of one copy of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* per customer. A gift with purchase is also planned, subject to remaining supplies.

San Francisco event scheduled for November 4

Nintendo San Francisco’s event is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on November 4. Reservations are set to open at 3 p.m. Pacific Time on October 26, with the same one-pass-per-person limit and first-come, first-served allocation.

Customers may purchase one of each listed Zelda-themed product, subject to availability. The selection includes a Nintendo Switch 2 – *The Legend of Zelda* – 40th Anniversary Edition system, Zelda-themed versions of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller with display stand, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller alone, and a Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case with screen protector.
