There hasn't been a game launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 that has sparked nostalgia quite like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is a game that I personally played more than any other game on my Nintendo 64 (even past the Water Temple) as a kid. This remake means that a whole new generation of gamers can experience the joy of playing as Link through Hyrule to awaken the seven sages and save the entire kingdom against evil Ganondorf, while a host of OG players get to experience it in its new, remastered form.
To do that, though, you're going to need enough storage space on your Nintendo Switch 2 to be able to actually install the game. The Switch 2 comes with 256GB of internal storage, but if you've got a full set of games installed, you're going to need to expand it with a microSD Express card. These are next-gen, faster than microSD cards, but typically pricier, unless you can pick up a deal.
Luckily, there are a couple of great deals on microSD Express cards that you can use with the Nintendo Switch 2. These will let you double, triple, or more the internal storage with a card like the Samsung P9, with the 512GB model costing $99.99 right now. If you need an upgrade, here are the deals for cards that you'll want to consider.

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2
Of course, to play Ocarina of Time, you'll actually need a Nintendo Switch 2. If you've not bought one already, you can pick one up for $499 right now at Amazon.
Expect these to be in short supply over the holidays, with possible stock shortages as a popular gift option for gamers.
