The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Release Day Log: May 12th, 2023
10:34 AM: Yay for Tears of the Kingdom!! It's morning on release day and Nintendo's website is already in a state of chaos! I have several out-of-stock items in my cart as well as items that say they haven't been released. The Tears of the kingdom Pro Controller sold out in LITERALLY 10 minutes after release, and the Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition sold out even faster! I hope to snag one of these before the day is done.

11:13 AM: GameStop doesn't appear to have much in stock other than the base game, Walmart is overrun with scams, piracy, and fakes, and Amazon, well, let's just say you don't want to go there.

11:35 AM: Best Buy looks promising, with the TOTK amiibo in stock, as well as the Collector's Edition occasionally reappearing as in-stock. I spent 5 minutes in a mad dash to make an account with a frickin' "moderately strong" password only to find I lost my spot in line for the Collector's Edition.

11:52 AM: Target doesn't look like it's selling much of anything except the standard edition, although it does have a Wind Waker amiibo 2-pack for MSRP of $30.

12:19 PM: Got kicked out of the line to buy the Collector's Edition on Best Buy again. So close though!

1:42 PM: Target sold out of the Wind Waker amiibos, and Nintendo doesn't look like it's going to bother to restock anything anytime soon. I still haven't given up hope! Zelda Wiki is getting pretty crazy. Red links are everywhere, and I'm doing the best I can to write up information.

1:50 PM: If everything else goes wrong, at least I can buy the cool new TOTK merch Nintendo put out. I love the glow-in the dark theme. $30 for a shirt, though!?

3:38 PM: Best Buy looks like it won't ship the Collector's Edition or the Pro Controller anymore. I'm hoping Nintendo might eventually restock their website! I passed some time completing the My Nintendo mission for finding raft pieces on the Tears of the Kingdom website.

4:02 PM: One thing I found is that Amazon actually has the preorder for the TOTK Complete Official Guide: Collector's Edition on sale from $45 down to $27. That's something I might have to consider.
