Nintendo Confirms Zelda 40th Anniversary Restocks

Nintendo Details Zelda 40th Anniversary Lineup and Restocks

The celebration is anchored by the The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 system, marking the first time the new hardware has received a complete themed redesign since its launch. Unveiled during the presentation, the limited-edition console replaces standard colors with teal controllers covered in Zelda-inspired patterns, gold accents surrounding the analog sticks, a gold Triforce on the left Joy-Con, and a large gold and gray Triforce pattern on the rear of the console and the front of its dock.

Hardware, Accessories, and Ocarina Releases

The special edition hardware package arrives on October 29, 2026, alongside a matching dexerto.com—available with and without a display stand—and a Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case with a screen protector, all featuring a Triforce design. The Pro Controller combines black, teal, and gold colors with a large Triforce across the face, gold shoulder buttons, and additional Zelda artwork.

Additionally, two ocarinas are scheduled for release later in the year: a playable version for the musically inclined and an electric version from HORI that plays notes or presses entire songs at the press of a button. In 2027, new amiibo figures of Young Link and Young Zelda will launch to unlock special in-game masks with a retro graphical style, while Mineru’s Construct amiibo for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases in September. Hasbro’s 27-inch Electronic Master Sword, featuring more than 15 touch- and motion-activated sounds, arrives in spring 2027.

Ocarina of Time Remake and Game Lineup

Series producer Eiji Aonuma showed the first gameplay for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Switch 2 system, confirming that the title will launch on November 5, 2026. The remake features revamped visuals, expanded locations, fully voiced characters, and new gameplay mechanics. Players can hum or play one of Link’s learned ocarina melodies within range of the Switch 2’s built-in microphone, and Link will perform the song in the game. Initial physical copies of the title for Switch 2 will include textured foil cover art.
