The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases May 12. One of the hottest first-party Nintendo games wouldn’t be complete without its own Nintendo Switch special edition. The Nintendo Switch OLED Model — The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition will release two weeks before the new game, on April 28. It retails for $359.99.

The special edition OLED Model features the 7-inch OLED screen, 64 GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio. It features colors and symbols inspired by the game, with a white, gold, and green design, and the classic Hylian crest on the front of the dock. Even the wrist straps for the Joy-Con are gold-colored!

As with the original Switch, the OLED Model can be played in docked mode on a TV, or handheld mode with attached Joy-Con controllers (or tabletop mode with detached controllers).

Note that the system doesn’t actually include the new game!

Sold separately, and launching the same day as the game (May 12) are a matching Nintendo Switch Pro Controller ($74.99) and a carrying case ($24.99). Both accessories use black as their primary color, mixed with black and gold symbols.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the highly anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild. It’s releasing exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
