The Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition launches on October 29, 2026. Nintendo revealed it during the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8, and it is the first special-edition Switch 2 Nintendo has announced. The game is not included, so the Ocarina of Time remake, out a week later, is a separate purchase.
Price and release date
In the United States, the console costs US$519.99 and arrives on October 29, which is about US$20 above the standard Switch 2. In Japan, Nintendo lists it at 62,980 yen, but that is the Japanese-language system, sold in Japan only. In Germany, MediaMarkt and Saturn list it at €519.99. Nintendo Store
Demand was high. The console sold out quickly at the Nintendo Store and other retailers, and Notebookcheck later reported a restock at the Nintendo Store. Check stock directly before you pay a reseller’s price.
What’s in the box
The bundle includes the console, a pair of green and gold Joy-Con 2 controllers, a black and gold dock with a Triforce emblem, the AC adapter, a USB-C cable, a Joy-Con 2 grip, two straps and an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable. The Japanese listing shows the same contents. GameStop
