The Nintendo Switch 2 could finally get its first major special edition, with leaked packaging pointing to a Zelda 40th anniversary console. The leaked console features a dark aesthetic with gold and green accents, paired with a gold Triforce dock and matching black-and-teal Joy-Con controllers. A standalone Switch 2 Pro Controller was also leaked, mirroring the console's color scheme with gold triggers, shoulder buttons, and a central Triforce crest.

Photos posted on X by @Centro Leaks show what appears to be retail packaging for a limited edition Nintendo Switch 2 console and a standalone Switch 2 Pro Controller, both celebrating Zelda's milestone year. The leaked console looks like it'll have a dark design with gold and green Zelda-inspired accents, making it look far more collector-focused than Nintendo's standard Switch 2.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Nintendo planning to release a limited edition Nintendo Switch 2 console and matching Pro Controller as a celebration of The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary. These hardware accessories were expected to be released alongside the rumored Ocarina of Time Remake later in 2026, but an insider had clarified that the designs were franchise-themed and not specifically tied to the Ocarina of Time game.

Nintendo has yet to officially reveal the console, controller, price, or availability. For now, the leaked images are the best evidence yet that the long-rumored Zelda hardware may be real after all.
