They should have expected the mass flooding for something like this. Nintendo knows that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Zelda fans out there who were waiting for this. History repeats itself.

Let's look at the Super Mario All-Stars reiteration for the Wii. Stores were out within days of stocking... Nintendo even had to make a second print shortly following. I ordered mine on Amazon luckily, though they were suffering back orders, so it could have been cancelled there. Just saying Nintendo should prepare for these instances.
