Just announced: The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a Legend of Zelda makeover

Nintendo just revealed a special 40th anniversary edition of the Nintendo Switch 2, in celebration of the iconic Legend of Zelda franchise. The announcement came in a video presentation, where Nintendo unveiled a range of special edition hardware options to mark the occasion. Scheduled to launch on November 5, the Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for pre-order starting October 29.

The revamped console pays homage to Link's classic gold, black, and green color scheme. Alongside the console, Nintendo is also introducing a matching display stand and carrying case, both featuring screens protected by a special cover. A striking Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, also adorned with the signature Triforce design, is included in the package.

Fans can add this limited-edition hardware to their Christmas wish lists. Nintendo intends to mark the 40th anniversary of Zelda with various merchandise drops and live events that will continue throughout 2027. As soon as pricing and purchase links become available, they will be updated on the company's website, and the controller listing will be posted separately.
