Look, this is the Switch 2 with a Zelda paint job. It’s the same hardware that’ll play all the new Zelda games in 4K, but now it also matches your “I only wear green” aesthetic. You will pay a $50 premium for the privilege of looking at a golden logo. And you’ll love every second of it.
The real treat? The exclusive in-game items. Pre-ordering gets you a skin for your glider that makes it look like the Master Sword is protecting you from the wind. It’s completely useless but all the rage on Twitter. You’ll flex on your friends, and they’ll hate you—that’s the Zelda tax in action.
