Got my Zelda amiibo preordered at Best Buy now that they've added the new amiibos to their site!
I've also e-mailed customer support to confirm the bundle they're offering is indeed the special edition bundle and not just the game, controller, and adapter sold together at a discount as their stock image would seem to imply. Of course it's most likely the special edition bundle but I have to be sure. It's interesting to me that at the time of this writing it can only be preordered through Best Buy; Amazon and GameStop list the (special edition) bundle, but it's apparently not available for preorder yet.
Also regarding my question about handling the preorder exchange I uncovered some advice from the
Best Buy support forum:

My question would be, is there anyway to get the Coin and the $5 certificate if I moved the preorder from the vanilla copy to the bundled copy if I keep the cancelled pre order receipt along with the newer bundled receipt?

The current pre-order would need to be cancelled and a new pre-order placed. The store’s willingness to still provide one of the coins would be completely at their discretion. The best suggestion I can offer would be to keep your current pre-order in place and inquire about exchanging it for the Gamecube Controller bundle when the game is released. This way, you’ll obtain the pre-order bonuses you originally should have and you still may be able to leave the store with the version of the game that you want!
