Overview
- Leaked photos of flat retail packaging for a Zelda 40th‑anniversary Switch 2 console and matching Pro Controller circulated online on Tuesday, displaying black, green and gold Triforce and Hylian crest motifs.
- Brazilian journalist Felipe Lima said the posted images match items he previously saw and called the assets legitimate, a detail several outlets say strengthens the leak’s credibility.
- All coverage stresses the pictures appear to be box art rather than close shots of finished hardware, so the physical authenticity and final design remain unverified.
- Some of the leaked packaging reportedly shows a November 12 date, which has renewed speculation that the Ocarina of Time remake could share a release window, but that date has not been confirmed by Nintendo.
- If genuine, analysts say the items would be Nintendo’s first major Switch 2 special edition and could drive collector demand and higher prices, especially with a planned Switch 2 base price increase set to take effect in early September.
