- Nintendo is releasing a limited-edition Switch OLED with a design inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- A limited-edition Pro Controller and carrying case will also be released to celebrate the new game.
- The Zelda-themed Switch OLED releases on April 28, and preorders are available now.
The next Legend of Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom, is releasing for the Nintendo Switch on May 12. It's Nintendo's biggest game this year, and it's getting the red carpet treatment.
In addition to a $130 Collector's Edition of the game and new Amiibo, Nintendo's also releasing a limited-edition version of the Nintendo Switch OLED that's themed after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Although the new Switch OLED model isn't out yet — it's officially releasing on April 28 — you can already preorder it to receive on launch day.
How to preorder the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch OLED
Nintendo only just unveiled the new Zelda-themed Switch OLED model, so not every retailer is offering it yet. Right now, Best Buy and Target are the only stores that you can preorder it from.
It releases on April 28, and costs $360 — which is $10 more than a regular Nintendo Switch OLED. It doesn't come with the game itself, but otherwise includes everything you'd expect with a Nintendo Switch.
If you're buying this new Switch OLED from Best Buy, you'll need to make an account on the store's website, and you'll have to pick it up in person. They're not offering deliveries, only in-store pickups.
Gamestop has a store page up for the Zelda-themed Switch OLED too, but it doesn't look like you can buy it online. Instead, you'll need to order and pick it up in-store.
Alongside the new Switch OLED, Nintendo is also offering a Zelda-themed Pro Controller and carrying case. These will be released on May 12, the same day as the actual game. Expect both of these to sell out quickly.
Physical and digital copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are available for preorder now from retailers like Amazon and Walmart, as well as from the official Nintendo eShop.
