This gorgeous version of the Switch 2 hardware comes emblazoned with a geometric Triforce pattern on the dock as well as the body of the console, while the Joy-Con are a delightful green and also fitted with Triforce designs. What’s more, besides the console, Nintendo is also releasing a Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. There’s also a display stand for the pad (which will be exclusive to Nintendo New York and San Francisco, as well as the Nintendo Store online) and a carrying case to keep an eye out for. Take a look at it all in this gallery:
