The latest Nintendo Direct brought exciting news for Zelda fans, with the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a new top-down adventure game starring Zelda herself. The game is set to release on September 26, along with a special-edition Switch Lite to commemorate the occasion.
The Hyrule Edition Nintendo Switch Lite features a stunning gold design with black buttons and analog sticks. On the back, you’ll find the iconic Hylian Crest, while the front boasts a tiny Triforce below the right analog stick. This special edition console comes bundled with a 12-month individual Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, giving players access to a wide range of classic games from Nintendo’s past consoles.
While preorders for Echoes of Wisdom are not yet live, the Hyrule Edition Switch Lite is sure to be a hot commodity. Fans will need to act fast to reserve their unit and ensure they can enjoy the new game at launch. The bundle includes the special-edition console and a membership to Nintendo Switch Online, offering multiplayer access and cloud saves.
This isn’t the first time Nintendo has released a Zelda-themed console. In 2023, a special-edition Switch OLED was launched in anticipation of Tears of the Kingdom’s release. The console featured gold Joy-Con controls and a white Switch dock with the Triforce emblem. Fans can also find discounted versions of the Japanese console, which is region-free and plays all North American Switch releases.
Echoes of Wisdom maintains the charming graphical style seen in the Link’s Awakening remake for Switch. Fans can take advantage of discounts on several Zelda games, including a $20 discount on Link’s Awakening at Walmart. With multiple classic Zelda games available for the Switch, now is the perfect time to dive into the world of Hyrule.
The latest Nintendo Direct has brought exciting news for Zelda fans, with the upcoming release of Echoes of Wisdom and the special-edition Hyrule Edition Switch Lite. With stunning designs and classic games to enjoy, fans of the franchise have plenty to look forward to in the coming months.
