New Switch 2 Consoles Quietly Hide A Perfect ‘Zelda’ Homage
Nintendo’s special edition Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 console launched on October 29 with a hidden Easter egg that many fans initially missed. The green-and-gold hardware features prominent Triforce decals and fully-colored Joy-Con 2 controllers, making it a striking collectible for series fans. However, a subtle detail was cleverly buried nine images deep in the official Nintendo store’s image carousel, going unnoticed by most enthusiasts focused on the console’s more obvious design flourishes.
The launch proved demanding for retailers, with major outlets overselling their launch day stock, creating a bumpy release despite strong pre-order demand. Interest in the special edition remains high, with pre-orders continuing to sell out rapidly. While the Easter egg itself is not inherently secret, Nintendo’s decision to hide it in plain sight on their official store demonstrates the company’s attention to detail in celebrating the classic game’s legacy on its latest hardware.
