The Legend of Zelda Switch 2 Special‑Edition Console and Pro Controller Confirmed

Okay, gamers, you’ve probably been scrolling through fan‑made mock‑ups for months, wondering if Nintendo would ever drop a Zelda‑themed Switch. Well, the wait is over. During today’s Zelda‑centric Nintendo Direct, Nintendo gave us the first legit look at the “The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary” Switch 2 console and its matching Pro Controller.

First off, let’s talk design. The dock now wears a glossy golden Triforce printed on one side – it’s subtle enough to be classy, bold enough to scream “Zelda fan”. The main console itself sticks to the familiar form factor, but the Joy‑Cons are a fresh black‑teal combo, each speckled with tiny Triforce motifs that catch the light when you’re gaming in the dark.

And the Pro Controller? It mirrors that palette perfectly. The base is black‑teal, the shoulder buttons and triggers are gilded, and right in the middle sits a shining golden Triforce. Tucked on the front is a nostalgic NES‑era Link silhouette, a tiny nod to the series’ humble beginnings.

Price‑wise, Nintendo is being fairly straightforward. The special‑edition Switch 2 console is set at $519.99, while the Pro Controller comes in at $99.99. Not cheap, but if you’re a die‑hard Zelda aficionado, it’s a price many will find worth paying for the collector’s value.

Mark your calendars: the bundle ships on October 29. That’s the same day Nintendo expects to drop a few other surprises, so keep an eye on the official channels for any last‑minute changes.

Besides the hardware, the Direct also teased a live‑action Legend of Zelda movie and a few other upcoming titles. If you missed the stream, you can catch a full recap on IGN’s Zelda Direct page.

All in all, Nintendo has turned a long‑standing fan wish into a polished, market‑ready product. Whether you’re planning to line it up on your shelf or actually play the next adventure, this Zelda‑themed Switch 2 feels like a proper celebration of 40 years of Hyrule.
