Nintendo Announces The Legend of Zelda: 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console, Accessories and More

  • Nintendo officially unveiled a Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch console commemorating the 40th Anniversary, with the hardware releasing October 29, 2026.

  • Players can access The Ocarina exclusively on the Nintendo Switch starting November 5, 2026, after Nintendo teased the game's Pixar-like graphical overhaul during an Anniversary Direct.
  • Beyond gaming hardware, Nintendo wrapped filming in spring 2026 for a Zelda film starring Bragason as Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link.
