The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console and Accessories Sold Out in Minutes

Nintendo has announced two major updates concerning The Legend of Zelda series. The first is the release date for the Ocarina of Time remake, set for early November this year. The second is the debut of the first special edition of the Switch 2, timed to coincide with the video game's 40th anniversary. The remake of Ocarina of Time will feature updated visuals, voiced cutscenes, expanded character dialogue, and symphonic orchestral music.

It will also be compatible with the Zelda Notes app, assisting players in locating in-game locations as seen in previous titles such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2. Priced at $59.99 (~RM244), the game is set to launch on November 5. The Switch 2 special edition, however, does not directly tie to the Ocarina of Time remake but rather celebrates the series' 40th anniversary.

Its design incorporates a Triforce theme with gold accents on the left Joy-Con, main unit back and dock, and green and black coloring on the rest of the hardware. The Pro Controller and Carrying Case, which are also part of the special edition, are sold separately.
