Preorder

Then buy it once it's out. If you're buying physical then it takes the same amount of time to walk in the store and pick a copy up. If you're buying digital then there's literally zero point to ever pre-ordering.

In my case, I do it to ensure they'll hold a copy for me at the store for whenever I can get down there to grab it. Gives me the peace of mind that I'll be able to actually get it on release day without having to wait.

I assure you that there will be a copy of the game for you at the store without pre-ordering, especially if it's a big name game like Zelda.
