Nintendo has unveiled a new wave of The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary-themed hardware, including a redesigned Nintendo Switch 2 console, a matching Pro Controller, a Pro Controller with stand, and a carrying case — all set to launch on October 29, just days before the company’s long-awaited The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake hits stores. Announced during one of the publisher’s recent streams, the collection celebrates four decades of Hyrule while offering collectors a chance to lock in preorders immediately, as retailers report the themed console is selling out quickly.
The lineup blends nostalgic franchise iconography with the Switch 2’s modern design language, and several items are already available for purchase. The centerpiece — the The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 — carries a price tag of $519.99 and does not include any bundled game. Alongside it, Nintendo is offering themed accessories ranging from the standalone Pro Controller at $99.99 to a carrying case paired with a screen protector for $39.99. Complementing the hardware are two Ocarina of Time-themed amiibo figures — Young Link and Young Zelda — priced at $24.99 each, which retailers say can be preordered now.
A Hyrule-Infused Design Language
The console itself is the star of the show, decked out in unmistakable Zelda imagery that pays homage to the series’ most iconic visual motif: the Triforce. The Joy-Cons 2 are finished in a vibrant green, featuring an interlocking triangle pattern across their surfaces and a golden Triforce emblem positioned at the bottom of the left grip. The matching dock carries a similar design treatment, rendered in gold and black to complement the handheld.
The The Legend of Zelda 2 Pro Controller extends this aesthetic into a standalone accessory, merging the console’s Joy-Con styling with its docked appearance all within one unit. Its left grip is finished in black while the right grip takes on the signature green, and the face plate showcases a striking black-and-gold Triforce design. Nintendo also offers a version bundled with an integrated stand, available exclusively through the official Nintendo Store for $109.99 (or £92.99 in the UK), making it the most premium option in the range.
The Zelda-themed hardware brings decades of Hyrule’s finest design into your hands, letting fans celebrate the franchise that defined a generation while enjoying next-generation performance.

Rounding out the collection is the Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector, finished in black and gold with its own Triforce detailing. A subtle touch of green appears on the zipper pulls, tying the accessory back to the console’s colorway. Together, these items form a cohesive package for players who want their setup to reflect the anniversary edition throughout.
The timing of the release is deliberate: October 29 places the hardware launch just ahead of the Ocarina of Time remake, which debuts on the Switch 2 platform. This sequencing ensures that collectors and enthusiasts have their themed gear ready before diving into one of gaming’s most celebrated titles in a modern reimagining.
Looking Ahead
For those in the UK market, equivalent options are available through Nintendo UK, with prices quoted in pounds sterling across the same product range. As the franchise approaches its 40th anniversary milestone, this hardware line signals Nintendo’s intent to reward longtime fans while setting up a visually rich launch window for what promises to be one of the most anticipated Switch 2 titles yet.
