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

Nintendo has now officially unveiled its The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 console and Pro Controller, after product photos previously appeared online.

Today's Zelda-focused Nintendo Direct broadcast therefore gave us our first official look at the upcoming special edition console and controller, confirming that previous leak as legitimate. We also gained a release date: October 29.

As expected, Nintendo's Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 features a golden Triforce design printed on one side of its dock, while the main Switch 2 console unit sports black/teal Joy-Con controllers, each also adorned with Triforce patterns.

The matching Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller: The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition mirrors the black/teal coloring for its base, with a golden central Triforce design and gold shoulder buttons and triggers. Both items also sport the cute Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary logo, which features a small NES-era Link icon.

We'll update here when we know pricing details.
