This exclusive edition of the Switch 2 was first showcased during a recent direct, highlighting the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake. Alongside the console, a matching Pro Controller, priced at $100, is available for pre-order. The pre-order option is also available for the special edition Switch 2, along with a carrying case for $40. The first Zelda-themed hardware released by Nintendo dates back to 2004, with the Game Boy Advance SP. The Wind Waker HD edition of the Wii U followed in 2013, and the Tears of the Kingdom-themed Switch OLED in 2023. Across all Zelda-related hardware, this will mark the 12th edition. Collectors are sure to appreciate the Switch 2's design, featuring a black exterior with golden triangles on the back, Joy-Cons with a green design and Tri-Force symbol, and a two-tone golden and black dock. The console and Pro Controller do not come with any games. Pre-orders for all items are live, with the products set to release on October 29, 2026. The Ocarina of Time remake will launch separately on November 19, 2026, for $60.",
