Nintendo has officially revealed a special edition of the Switch 2 dedicated to the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise. The new console, featuring a metallic green and gold color scheme, is scheduled for release on October 29, one week prior to the launch of the highly anticipated Ocarina of Time remake.
Unlike the all-gold Echoes of Wisdom Switch Lite released in 2024, this new iteration opts for a dual-tone design. The Joy-Con controllers are finished in a reflective metallic green and gold that is designed to catch the light. Unique details include a sprite of Link holding the Triforce on the front of the left controller and a sprite of Zelda on the back of the right controller. The docking station complements the theme with a black and gold finish centered around a large Triforce emblem.
While the console highlights the franchise’s legacy, it does not include a copy of the Ocarina of Time remake. That title remains a separate purchase and is set to arrive on November 5. Nintendo also plans to release coordinating accessories, including a carrying case with a screen protector, a Pro controller, and a stand, all arriving on the same date as the console. These items will be available while supplies last, suggesting strong demand for the limited-run merchandise.
Limited edition always means scalpers. Hope Nintendo cracks down on bots this time around.
Wait, no copy of the remake included? Hard pass for the full price. Only worth it if bundled.
I need that dual-tone design immediately. The Triforce emblem on the dock is pure perfection.
