Extra Bonuses with the Special Edition Nintendo Switch Console

According to the story by CNet, this special-edition console has a unique color scheme and design and boasts a 7-inch OLED screen and 64GB of internal storage. When the Nintendo Switch version of Tears of the Kingdom releases in May, buyers of the special edition console will be treated to some extra goodies.

They will also receive a matching Pro Controller and carrying case, both of which have the same iconic Legend of Zelda-style design as the console itself. These extra items may be the deciding factor for many Switch owners considering getting their hands on the special edition console, as explained further in an article by Polygon.

It is clear to see why the special edition Nintendo Switch OLED console inspired by the upcoming Tears of the Kingdom game is highly anticipated by fans. With the console's unique design and additional bonus items, customers will surely get the full experience of the upcoming game.

Preorder the Special Edition Console from Nintendo to Enhance Your Zelda Experience

The upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game is one of the most highly-anticipated titles for the Nintendo Switch. Anticipating the hype for the game, Nintendo has announced a special edition version of their console featuring a unique design inspired by it.

Stylized in white, gold, and green, the $360 special edition console will be available for preorder on April 28. The console has an upgraded 7-inch OLED screen and 64 GB of storage but does not include the actual game, which must be separately preordered for $70, as highlighted in an article by Game Spot.

Along with the console, Nintendo will also release a Tears of the Kingdom-themed Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and carrying case, which will be available when the game launches on May 12. Fans can pre-order the game on Amazon or Best Buy.

The Special Edition Console: Replicating the Success of Breath of the Wild

Breath of the Wild, the predecessor of Tears of the Kingdom, came out in 2017 and has since become one of the most successful games in the franchise. Selling over 29 million copies, the game was a monumental success.

Players hope Tears of the Kingdom will replicate some of its predecessor's success, and the special edition console could be the perfect way to commemorate it. With fans eagerly waiting for the game's release, they will now have the opportunity to obtain a special edition console and a game that will likely continue the legacy of Breath of the Wild.

All this is happening in the backdrop of increased demand for Switch consoles which has recently disrupted shipments from Europe to the US. Fans of the Legend of Zelda should grab this special console edition before it runs out due to the high demand.
