If you’re a fan of Nintendo and its franchise of games, then you’d be forgiven for getting excited over the recently announced Zelda-themed Switch OLED. Nintendo has released plenty of special edition Switch consoles in the past, from the Super Mario edition in 2020 to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons edition earlier this year. But for long-time Zelda fans, this one might be the most exciting yet.
The new Zelda-themed Switch OLED is set to come with a special gray, gold and blue color scheme. On the rear of the console, it features an illustration of the Triforce and Hylian Crest, while the game logo is displayed prominently across the top of the console and along the edges. This detail-oriented design makes it stand out from other editions and shows Nintendo’s commitment to giving fans something special.
But this isn’t the only exciting thing about the Zelda-themed Switch OLED. According to recent reports, the console also has an upgraded display. The OLED screen offers a higher-contrast ratio, wider viewing angles and deeper blacks, ensuring the classic Zelda adventure will look better than ever before.
For longtime fans of the franchise, this edition could be that extra push needed to upgrade their current console. With so many interesting games on the way, such as new installments in the Breath of the Wild series, now is as good a time as any to get into the next-gen Zelda experience. Sure, you may have to shell out a bit more money for the OLED console, compared with its regular counterpart. But considering the added visual performance and attractive design, it’s well worth it.
No official date has been set yet when the Zelda-themed Switch OLED is set to be released, but chances are Nintendo will have the console out in time for the holidays. Whether you’re a first-time upgrader or a longtime fan waiting to upgrade, this console will be a must-have this year. With its upgraded display, eye-catching design and powerful hardware, the Zelda-themed Switch OLED may very well be the final link that’s pushed you to upgrade.
