The Legend Of Zelda-Themed Nintendo Switch Lite Will Release Alongside Echoes Of Wisdom
The latest Nintendo Direct was filled with game reveals, including a look at upcoming entries for popular franchises like Mario, Metroid, and Zelda. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a new top-down adventure starring Zelda (finally!), is set to release on September 26. To commemorate the new Zelda game, Nintendo is releasing a special-edition Switch Lite on the same day. There’s no word yet on when preorders will go live, but we’ll make sure to update this article as soon as they do. Price hasn’t been revealed either, though last year’s Animal Crossing-themed Switch Lite bundle–which is still in stock at Walmart–retailed for $200.
We’d expect this to be a hot commodity, so preorders will likely sell out fast. That means you’ll need to reserve a unit as soon as possible if you want to have it in your hands while playing Echoes of Wisdom at launch.
The Hyrule Edition Nintendo Switch Lite is gold with black button and analog sticks. On the back, you’ll find the Hylian Crest, while the front is adorned with a tiny Triforce below the right analog stick.
