So, if the one-order email is indeed legit, doesn't it make sense to send that out BEFORE cancelling people's orders? Everything seems really backward on this ...

Amazon Cancelling Master Edition's of Zelda: BotW Orders

I was about to say the same thing. It would have at least made more sense if the "additional orders" email came out first to everyone, and then later on people chosen by Amazon's roulette wheel got the single-order cancellations.
Right now everything is so confusing.
Ah, gotcha, thanks papercan!

same. ugh what the hell Amazon
They seem to have sent that automatic email to everyone who purchased a ME.

Why would you think that? There has never been any indication that would be the case.

So far my blue joycons got cancelled, one set of straps, and my Master Edition from Amazon. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if my Switch is next on the chopping block 😰

If you have a best buy within reasonable distance you can order for store pickup (if thats still an option) and the order is auto cancelled if you don't pick it up within 7 days. You don't get billed, if you pay by credit card, until you pick up.
I wonder if the best buy masters editions are due for cancels next. I have one on pre order, the window of availability for that one was a LOT longer than amazon so it'd be kind of weird if amazon cancelled about half of theirs (which seems to be the case based on reddit posts) and best buy didn't cancel any.
I also wonder what happens on eBay to people who bought one from someone who pre ordered on amazon but got cancelled, especially if they are outside the 30 day buy window. Gonna get messy I think, although usually ebay sides with buyers.
This is exactly what I did. Thank you! I've got a back up Switch and now a standard copy of Zelda just in case amazon fail me.

Don't know how long they're available, or if they'll go through, but Target.com is showing the blue and red joy-cons and the blue and red straps available for shipping.
Give it a try?

Canceling a collectors edition is one thing but cancelling switches at the rate these CE's are getting canceled would cause insane backlash.
If my Masters Edition gets canceled fine but if they cancel the Switch that would be the straw that broke the camels back for me i would cancel prime and shop at Best Buy from now on.
My orders for a blue Joy-Con set and a red Joy-Con set were just canceled automatically from Amazon. I just canceled my order for extra grips, because there's no point in having the grips if I don't have any Joy-Con to go on them.

Work at best buy, can confirm. (Not really)
SO I wonder if maybe, just maybe, a lot of orders were cancelled, then they cancelled extra ones people pre-ordered (was it just limited to 1, anyways?) and maybe now might have extra?
Still mad... If anyone wants to sell theirs for $200 shipped, well, I'll be here. That's the most I'll go.

And I will stand by and solemnly watch.
Im with you! And I can hear offers for buying one
Same here. I got worried at first but I only ordered one originally and my order is still listed, so I guess they're just sending out the same e-mail to everyone who ordered it.

Funny how Nintendo can never produce enough special editions of a game. The demand is there but they refuse to supply. They are literally leaving money on the table. Unless for some reason they make more profit off a regular copy than special. Idk...

FYI, I was able to re-order a set of blue Joy-Cons from Target.com. They say I'll get them on release date, but we will see what happens...
I hope this means something, and isn't just CS BS.
Yeah same must have just went to everyone who ordered to cover their basis.
My ME order still looks gravy.
So Amazon was nice enough to extend my prime up until May but I got some interesting info out of this email they sent me as a follow up!
What did you send to them? I want some kind of email like that
The fear is never truly over when it comes to Nintendo limited editions
*looks out my rainy window staring solemnly out at the fire emblem fates special edition*

Im more afraid that my switch pre order gets canceled. Hope it doesnt go this way, one time I pre ordered a 2ds with MK7 and they canceled it

I blame Nintendo for this. With all the hype around this game, to have a limited edition be that limited is ridiculous. I'm convinced they don't like money (NES Classic stock, Switch stock, Zedla stock). Just makes no sense to "drive up demand" by making it limited when demand is already out there. Only people who benefit are asshole scalpers.
The fear will not subside until shipping notices are made posted.
So this is just for 2 player gaming? Won't you need that middle piece that slips between? Ugh I need to learn my Switch language.
Stormwatch
Member
Yeah, 2+ player gaming. You can buy a separate Joy Con Grip if you want to.
You don't have to have the middle piece if you're okay holding a Joy-Con in each hand like Wii Remotes.

I checked my normal order of Zelda and it says they don't have a delivery date yet? Is that supposed to be that way? I pre-ordered it day one. Imma be upset if it doesn't come the third.

I wake up and check my email first thing. First thing I see:
"Your Amazon.com Order. Due to high demand..."
Me: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
But I guess everyone got this email. My order still safe. Phew!

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Wish it was under better circumstances.
I just wanted to mention that EVERYONE should be contacting amazon about this. I just got off chat with a guy named Lou and got nearly 90$ in amazon gift card balance ON TOP of the 10 dollars that was provided in the initial cancellation. I would post a chat transcript, but it has my name littered all over it.
Essentially, Lou tried to find me a replacement copy of the Master Edition at other stores (which was hilarious imo that thats the solution) and found one on eBay for 170$ and issued me a gift card refund for the difference that I was going to pay on Amazon. Then, because he was awesome, he refunded some past orders of mine. It pays off to be nice but firm in these situations.
This sucks royally, I wanted that Master edition badly and was one of the first to preorder it, but getting nearly 100$ back for this ordeal makes up for it nicely.
