In addition to giving us a glimpse of the upcoming game that will launch on May 12, 2023, the company also launched a special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED, dubbed as the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition system. This special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED has marks and designs that appear in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game and they include the symbols such as Hylian Crest from the Legend of Zelda series on the front of the dock.

The special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED is priced at $359.99 (Rs 29,640 approximately) will go on sale on April 28.
