Nintendo games rarely (as in, barely ever) get discounted, especially first party games. Remember how they offered a certain game (I think it might have been 3D All-Stars?) for a limited time only? Nintendo is rather anti-consumer in the long run.

So if you keep waiting for a price drop, it's gonna be a while. Maybe you get lucky and some third party shop sells it for 40$. Don't expect it to go under that for a long time, it's a Zelda game. The ones who really want it will buy it regardless of the price, and Nintendo or the other shops don't really care about the rest.
