This leaked Zelda Switch 2 could be Nintendo’s next collector hit

Leaked images suggest Nintendo is preparing a special edition Switch 2 console and Pro Controller to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise in 2026.

Key Points

  • Leaked packaging reveals a dark-themed console featuring gold and green accents alongside a gold Triforce dock.
  • The matching Pro Controller includes gold shoulder buttons and a central Triforce crest.
  • The hardware is expected to commemorate the Zelda franchise's 40th anniversary milestone in 2026.
  • Reports indicate these designs are franchise-themed rather than tied to a specific game like an Ocarina of Time remake.
  • Nintendo has not yet officially confirmed the existence, pricing, or release date of the Switch 2 hardware.

Why it Matters

This potential release represents the first major special edition for the upcoming Switch 2, signaling Nintendo's strategy to drive collector interest through limited-run hardware. By aligning the launch with a major franchise milestone, the company aims to boost console sales and maintain long-term engagement with its core fan base.
