The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (Switch 2)
Where to Buy:
Nintendo had the unenviable task of reimagining its Nintendo 64-era masterpiece for the Switch 2, and based on our hands-on time with some sections of the game, it’s a lot of fun to play. The graphics and art style are fantastic, and the controls have been modernized to be simpler to pick up for those who are already experienced with third-person action games, including other modern Zelda titles.

- It’s tough to find an HDMI dock with more utility than Sharge’s Disk Pro 2. Being a dock for your USB-C gadgets is just one of its skills. The dock houses up to an M.2 2280-size SSD, letting it serve as external storage for your devices to read from or write to. Additionally, it has some useful ports (beyond its HDMI 2.1 4K/144Hz port), like a 5Gbps USB-A port, SD and microSD card slots, plus USB-C passthrough charging for up to 80W. Plus, it has a built-in magnet to let it snap to your iPhone, so long as it supports MagSafe. The “Ultra” version I’ve described costs $80.91 (originally $109.90) once you clip the on-page coupon for 10 percent off. Check out my colleague Sean’s informative and fun hands-on.
- Do something a little different with your night or weekend by snagging a Play-Doh Blooms kit. It’s not for everyone, but for those who’ve been tempted to build (or gift) a Lego floral bouquet, these Blooms kits look a lot more realistic. Also, they seem fun to piece together, and each set includes all the tools you need to assemble and preserve the flowers. There are several Blooms models, but the Rosy Petite bouquet kit is $18.74, down from $24.99, at Amazon. If you’re already shopping for the holidays, this seems like a nice stocking stuffer.
- We highlighted this deal recently, but it’s still happening and worth sharing again. Best Buy is one of the few retailers that still sells the M4-equipped Apple Mac Mini, and it’s the only one that’s currently discounting it. Originally $599 when it debuted in 2024, its price increased due to RAMageddon (plus, it was really hard to find in stock). It’s cheaper now for the 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD configuration than it has been for a while, costing you $649. While the M4 model has been outclassed by the new, moderately faster M6 version that’s $779 at Amazon (originally $899), the form factor and port selection are nearly identical. As in, it’s a mini, yet mighty macOS desktop that’s capable of more than you might expect.
