Zelda Switch 2 Out October Game Sold Separately
The Legend of Zelda Gets a Golden Touch with the Switch 2 40th Anniversary Edition
The wait is almost over for fans of Hyrule, as Nintendo officially unveiled the Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 during the recent Zelda Direct event on September 8. Following months of exciting leaks, the official reveal delivered more than just a console; it presented a special edition that promises to celebrate four decades of epic adventure.
While the excitement is palpable, the package doesn’t seem to come in a standard bundle. This means that dedicated fans won’t be receiving the special edition attached to standard deals. Instead, Nintendo is offering a curated set of commemorative items designed to let players showcase their devotion to the Triforce. The collection includes a 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller adorned with emerald and gold decals, a custom screen protector, and a carrying case that proudly features the iconic Triforce symbol.
For those looking for a more complete experience, there is also an option to purchase the Switch 2 console complete with an integrated display stand, adding a touch of convenience to the legendary adventure. Details regarding the exact cost for these exclusive items are still unfolding globally, but we can look at the pricing structure from Japan for context. The console itself was listed at 62,980 yen, roughly $400, with accessories like the carrying case and screen protector priced around 3,980 yen, or about $25.
The rollout for these commemorative items will begin with pre-orders directly through the Nintendo store, before expanding to major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. This staged release strategy allows fans to secure their commemorative gear directly from the source.
Beyond the hardware itself, the world of Zelda continues to evolve. While the anniversary celebration takes center stage, the highly anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is slated for a release date of November 5, promising a return to a classic era of gaming. With new hardware and beloved titles on the horizon, the celebration for Zelda fans is clearly set to be an epic one.
