Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda edition leaked via packaging images
Leaked images of packaging for a limited-edition Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro Controller have surfaced online, suggesting a special hardware bundle to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda in 2026.
The leaked designs, shared by sources such as CentroLeaks and journalist Necro Felipe, feature a black and gold aesthetic with Triforce motifs. The hardware reportedly includes a themed dock and Joy-Con 2 controllers in green and black with gold accents. The Pro Controller is expected to feature a gold faceplate, green grips, and an 8-bit Link graphic on the back.
These leaks coincide with Nintendo's recent financial report, which reaffirmed that the highly anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is still on track for a late 2026 release. While Nintendo has not officially confirmed the existence of the anniversary hardware, industry analysts note that themed console editions are a common strategy for the company during major franchise milestones.
