A Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro Controller have reportedly leaked
New images posted online appear to show the packaging for 40th anniversary Zelda editions of the console and Pro Controller
Nintendo has yet to formally announce new special edition hardware
Nintendo could be planning to release a special edition Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch 2 Pro Controller inspired by The Legend of Zelda , after leaked images were posted online.
That's according to the Centro LEAKS account on X (via VGC ), which posted two images showing the packaging for the themed Switch 2 and Pro Controller, which are seemingly designed to celebrate Zelda's 40th anniversary.
The Switch 2 has black and green Joy-Cons with the iconic Triforce emblem on one side, while the dock itself has the more elaborate design, showing the gold Triforce on the front.
Similarly, the Pro Controller has black and green grips, with a different gold Triforce in the center. Looking more closely at the packaging, you can also see a 40th anniversary logo.

Brazilian journalist and Universo Nintendo editor-in-chief ‘Necro’ Felipe Lima previously claimed to have been shown both products, and in a separate post , said the new images are "exactly as I saw it previously."
If these leaks are real, I'm glad I waited to purchase a Switch 2. However, Nintendo hasn't made an official announcement just yet, but it would be the first special edition Switch 2 since the console launched.
Additionally, while some speculated that Nintendo would release a new special edition Switch 2 alongside The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake , which is due to arrive this year, it appears the supposed leaked console may not be inspired by the game.
The Ocarina of Time remake was announced this summer and will be a Switch 2 exclusive, though a launch date hasn't been set.
