Four Decades of Hyrule in Your Hands

Nintendo's 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Pro Controller turns Zelda history into a black, gold, and green gamepad rather than tying the design to one new release. Decorative patterns and illustrations draw from across the series, giving the controller the feel of a commemorative object while keeping the familiar shape and controls of the standard Switch 2 pad.

A Tiny Link Hides Around Back

The front uses emerald and gold accents that match the anniversary Switch 2 console, while a small NES-era Link appears on the rear near the system logo. That quiet callback keeps the design from relying on one oversized crest, and it gives longtime players something fun to find after the obvious details. At $99.99, it costs $10 more than Nintendo's regular Switch 2 Pro Controller.

The Map of Hyrule Gets a Stand

Nintendo also offers a version with a custom display stand printed with a map of Hyrule, sold through its own stores for $109.99. The controller belongs to a larger anniversary hardware group that includes a matching console, carrying case, and screen protector, but no game is bundled with the pad. It works best as both the controller you actually use and a compact display piece for a series old enough to have inspired several generations of Nintendo hardware.
