Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda 40th Anniversary
The Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition released October 29, 2026 — Triforce-detailed dock, system and green-and-gold Joy-Con 2. What's in the box, what it costs, and where it's still in stock.
Quick answer: it's a limited-edition Switch 2 console — not a game bundle — celebrating 40 years of Zelda. US launch-day stock vanished within hours; restocks are expected around November 5 alongside the Ocarina of Time Switch 2 launch (Best Buy and Target Nov 5, Walmart ~Nov 6). UK buyers can still order — Currys has it at £434.
What you get
The console
Standard Switch 2 hardware with Zelda-series patterns and Triforce motifs across the back of the system. Same 7.9" 1080p screen, same performance — the difference is the finish.
The dock
Black-and-gold dock with a gold Triforce on the front and series-inspired detailing — the visual centerpiece of the edition.
Joy-Con 2
Green and gold Joy-Con 2 controllers with Zelda decorations — matching the 40th-anniversary palette.
Same-day accessories
A Zelda 40th Anniversary Pro Controller (with display stand) and carrying case with screen protector launched alongside — easier to find than the console itself.

- 1US: aim for the Nov 5 restock wave
Best Buy and Target listings point to in-store and online restocks November 5, Walmart around November 6 — timed with the Ocarina of Time release.
- 2Nintendo NY already did its run
The NYC store sold it October 29 via Warp Pipe Pass sessions — one per customer, passes gone in minutes. Watch the store page for repeat sessions.
- 3First wave vs second wave
Stock shipping from ~Nov 5 may be the revised unit with a replaceable battery (new EU rules). The launch wave doesn't have it — worth knowing which you prefer.
- 4Japan is language-locked
The Japanese edition is the Japanese-Language System (Japan only) — importing one means a Japanese-locked interface.

Is the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 still available?
In the UK, yes — Currys and Amazon have stock. In the US it's sold out until the early-November restock wave.
Does it come with a game?
No — console only. Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 lands November 5 as a separate purchase.
What did the 40th anniversary include besides the console?
A matching Pro Controller with display stand and a carrying case — both released the same day — plus the Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake on November 5.
Is it different hardware?
No — it's a cosmetic edition: same specs, same games, Zelda designs on the dock, system and Joy-Con 2.
