Images from the special edition The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom’s Tears An OLED Nintendo Switch prototype has surfaced online, with images of a Zelda-themed platformer and a set of Joy-Cons, as well as the box.
Apparently I found this on the Chinese Tieba forum and posted it Famous by the user Casen (Thank you, My Nintendo news), showing a pair of the game’s green (left) and white (right) Joy-Cons and white backplates to match the dock. The dock has similar embossed gold markings on the front, with the back of the console itself (black) having subtly embossed patterns similar to those on the Other special editions of OLED control panels.
This is the box – you can find more images at the links above:
It’s currently unclear whether these photos are fake or legit, though they look remarkably real (and perhaps a little boring).
The game will launch on May 12, 2023, and if this is the real McCoy, we’re guessing that this particular Switch version will launch at that time or in the weeks prior.
Breath of the wild It launched alongside the original Switch in 2017, of course, though a pair of special edition Zelda Joy-Cons were released when Skyward Sword HD Launched in 2021.
A few days ago, some leaked marketing materials for the game appeared Nintendo Switch Online poster, leading to speculation that the game may include some sort of online feature or multiplayer component. However, the NSO designation is likely related to cloud saving, so don’t kid yourself.
