Artwork for the collector’s edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has seemingly given credence that an OLED Nintendo Switch themed after the game is planned.
Images showing a supposed early unit of the consoleappeared online late last year, but as of writing,Nintendohas yet to announce it.
However, Twitter account Nintendeal points out that the logos featured on the leaked console match that of the collector’s edition of the game, which was announced this week.
As this icon has seemingly yet to appear in any marketing material outside of the recent trailer, it does lend credence to the idea that the leaked console is legitimate.

If real, the console appears to include two gold joy-cons, each featuring ornate patterns. These patterns are replicated on the white dock, which also features the Tri-Force in gold.
Much like thePokemonScarlet and Violet and Spaltoon 3 special editionNintendo SwitchOLED models, the package doesn’t appear to contain the game, suggesting it could release prior to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s release on May 12.
Earlier this week, Nintendo released an extensive newgameplay trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
