Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 + Pro Controller reportedly in the works

Though the practice may have subsided somewhat in recent years, Nintendo is known for releasing various themed versions of its consoles based on the company’s wide suite of popular IPs. While the Switch 2 has yet to see any such hardware, reports have claimed that the console maker is gearing up to release its first limited edition Switch 2 in alignment with the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda franchise. So far, the company has been somewhat quiet on the matter, with the only bits of Zelda-related news being official confirmation of the previous-rumoured Ocarina of Time Remake alongside some early looks at the upcoming live-action film.

According to insiders however, part of the anniversary celebrations will include the release of limited edition hardware, with known leaker ‘Shpeshal Nick’ taking to social media to claim that both a Zelda themed Switch 2 Pro controller and Switch 2 console are currently planned.

Details on these products remain light, but according to Nick these systems will be “Zelda themed’ and “not necessarily” tied to Ocarina of Time specifically.

Either way, we should hopefully learn about these new products sooner rather than later, with the aforementioned OoT remake slated to arrive this year – and the live-action film penned for Spring of next year – meaning a dedicated Zelda Direct should be impending.
