GoKawiilNintendo unveils gold-green Switch 2 for Zelda's 40th anniversary, out October 29
Nintendo revealed a special-edition Switch 2 console finished in gold and metallic green to mark The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary, launching October 29. The Joy-Con 2 controllers feature original 8-bit sprites of Link and Zelda holding the Triforce, and the dock carries a large Triforce design, but the console does not include the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, which arrives separately on November 5.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Nintendo continues to use themed hardware to drive Switch 2 demand ahead of a major remake launch, betting on collector appeal rather than bundling software. Limited supply of the console and matching accessories, including a carrying case and Pro controller, is likely to fuel resale markups and scarcity similar to past special editions.
- Gold-and-green Switch 2 console launches October 29, one week before Ocarina of Time remake.
- Joy-Con 2 controllers feature original 1986 Link and Zelda sprites with the Triforce.
- Matching accessories, including a case, Pro controller and stand, will be sold separately while supplies last.
