According to Sinobi Blog, known for their quality retail leaks, Nintendo is providing Japanese stores with very limited copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS for the game's launch. The intention is to avoid the bargain bin sales that plagued the last major Zelda release, Spirit Tracks. Apparently retailers are not allowed to place orders for more copies and Nintendo will be handling the situation very closely. Japanese gamers better reserve their copies early!
