Leaked Images Reveal Zelda-Themed Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro Controller
Important Note: This article is based on leaked images that have not been officially confirmed by Nintendo. Treat all details as rumors until Nintendo makes an official announcement.
What Happened?
Exciting pictures have appeared online showing a special edition Nintendo Switch 2 and a matching Pro Controller. Both are designed to celebrate the upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The leak came from a trusted source on social media, giving fans their first real look at the new hardware.
Design Details: The Switch 2 Console
The console bundle is fully decked out in Zelda style. Here’s what the leaks show:
- The Dock: A striking mix of black and gold with the Triforce symbol prominently displayed.
- Joy-Con 2 Controllers: These come in a green color (likely referencing Link’s tunic) and each has its own Triforce design.
- Overall Vibe: The gold accents on black give it a premium, "legendary" feel—perfect for a Zelda celebration.
Design Details: The Pro Controller
The Pro Controller is just as detailed, featuring a three-tone color scheme:
- Black, Gold, and Green accents throughout.
- The Hylian Crest (the bird-like symbol from the games) sits right in the middle of the controller face.
- It matches the console perfectly, making a complete collector’s set.
The 40th Anniversary Logo
Nintendo is also celebrating 40 years of The Legend of Zelda. The anniversary logo features Link as he looked in the original 8-bit era—a cute nod to where it all began.

FAQ
1. Are these pictures officially from Nintendo?
No. These are leaked images shared by a known leaker (CentroLeaks). Nintendo has not confirmed the designs, release date, or price yet.
2. When can I buy the Zelda Switch 2 and Controller?
There is no official pre-order or release date. Since the Ocarina of Time remake is targeting "before the end of the year," the hardware would likely launch around the same time.
3. Is the Ocarina of Time remake only for Switch 2?
Yes. The article specifically states the remake is "arriving on Nintendo Switch 2." It will not be on the original Switch.
4. What is the "Hylian Crest" on the Pro Controller?
It is the iconic bird-like symbol (often called the Wingcrest) that represents the Royal Family of Hyrule and the Goddess Hylia. It’s the main logo of the franchise.
5. Will the standard Switch 2 look like this?
Probably not. This is a Special/Limited Edition bundle. The standard Switch 2 console (when announced) will likely have a more neutral default color scheme (like white or black).
