Nintendo Preparing Special Zelda 40th Anniversary Surprise: Is a Switch 2 Collector's Edition Coming?
New leaks suggest Nintendo is planning a special Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 collector's edition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the legendary franchise.
As the gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' remake for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, fresh rumors suggest that Nintendo may have more than just a game in store for the franchise's 40th anniversary. Enthusiasts have been buzzing following reports from prominent industry insiders, including Shpeshal Nick, who hinted at a special hardware reveal.
A Collector's Edition on the Horizon?
While initial speculation pointed toward a themed Pro Controller release, recent leaks suggest that Nintendo is planning something much grander. According to industry whispers, the company is preparing a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle themed around The Legend of Zelda. Unlike previous iterations that focused on specific titles, this rumored console is expected to celebrate the legacy of the entire series. Adding weight to these claims, journalist Necro Felipe noted details about a matching Pro Controller, describing a design featuring green handles, gold accents, and a prominent Triforce emblem.
The Timing of the Reveal
Though Nintendo has remained tight-lipped, only confirming the existence of the Ocarina of Time remake via a cryptic logo reveal, fans are looking toward the September Nintendo Direct for a formal announcement. The event is widely considered the perfect stage for the company to showcase both the highly anticipated remake and potential collector's hardware to mark the franchise's milestone. While these reports currently remain in the realm of speculation, the alignment of a major anniversary and new hardware launches suggests that 2026 could be a landmark year for Zelda fans worldwide.
