Nintendo Switch OLED Model – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition

Nintendo Switch OLED Model – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition

A Masterpiece of Design + Performance

Nintendo celebrates The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with this themed OLED Switch console. It features custom art and color accents inspired by the game — including the Hylian Crest, stylised motifs, and matching Joy-Con, straps, and dock designs — while retaining the full hardware and functional capability of the standard OLED Switch.

Released April 28, 2023, the Tears of the Kingdom Edition offers all of the features of the OLED model with a fresh visual twist locked into the Zelda universe.

Visuals, Display & Screen Quality

This Zelda OLED Switch uses the same 7-inch OLED display as the base OLED model, delivering brilliant contrast, deeper blacks, rich colours, and wide viewing angles. Because OLED pixels are individually lit, visuals appear sharper and more vibrant in handheld mode, enhancing every quest across Hyrule.

Thanks to the technology, the screen shows subtle lighting in dark scenes, vivid colours in nature vistas, and crisp detail in architectural ruins — ideal for immersive open-world play.

Hardware & Internal Specs

Under the hood, the Zelda edition is functionally identical to the standard OLED Switch. Key specs include:

Internal Storage: 64 GB, expandable via microSD cards.

System Modes: Supports TV mode (via dock), handheld mode, and tabletop mode, just like all Switch consoles.

Extended Stand & Dock: The dock includes a wired LAN port (for stable online play) and the console includes a wide adjustable stand (better stability) for tabletop mode.

Enhanced Audio: The console offers improved audio capabilities — enhanced speakers for handheld and tabletop, and clean output when docked.

Because this is a limited aesthetic edition, all internal specs like CPU, GPU, memory, battery, etc. match the standard OLED model — Nintendo’s listing confirms only the design changes.

What’s in the Box

When you unbox the Zelda edition, you’ll typically receive:

The custom-designed Switch OLED console featuring Zelda artwork

Joy-Con controllers, matching the theme

Joy-Con straps (special design)

Joy-Con grip

Custom Zelda dock with themed exterior

AC adapter

HDMI cable

Note: This is a console package (hardware only). It does not include the Tears of the Kingdom game — that must be purchased separately.

Why Zelda Edition is Special

Collector Appeal: The unique Zelda aesthetic transforms this from just a console into a display piece for fans.

Full Switch Compatibility: Everything from standard Switch accessories, games, and software works seamlessly with this edition.

Better On-the-Go Experience: OLED, enhanced audio, and design that stands out make handheld play more immersive.

Stable Online Play: The wired LAN port in the dock gives more dependable online sessions, useful for multiplayer Zelda content or tournaments.

Value for Fans & Players: You get both an outstanding themed piece and the full functionality of the OLED system — not just cosmetic value.
