Nintendo has announced that it would sell a The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-themed Nintendo Switch OLED. This stylish model will reportedly cost $359.99 and was first shown off during the company’s latest video, which also contained around ten minutes of Tears of the Kingdom gameplay footage.

Decorated with rune-like patterns, the docking station and console are predominantly colored in white and gold, though Link’s famous green outfit color is visible on the left side of the handheld.

The Nintendo Switch OLED has a larger screen and more built-in storage space than the vanilla version of the console, though it is slightly heavier in return.

The The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-themed Nintendo Switch OLED will be available on April 28, 2023. This won’t be a bundle shipping with the game, so you’ll still need to purchase Link’s newest adventure separately when it releases on May 12, 2023.

That’s also when a The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-themed Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and a Carrying Case will drop, in case you want to complete the collection and play the upcoming game in the most stylish way possible.
