Why are we getting a Nintendo Switch Lite – Hyrule Edition?
The Hyrule Edition Switch Lite comes in a luxurious gold colorway with sleek black accents, reminiscent of the Switch OLED Hyrule Edition. The design features the iconic Hylian emblem embossed on the back and a subtle Triforce symbol on the bottom-right corner of the front. This elegant aesthetic is sure to appeal to Zelda fans and collectors.
The Hyrule Edition Switch Lite costs $209.99 and comes with an added bonus: a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. This membership, worth $49.99, grants access to online multiplayer, classic game libraries, and exclusive content for popular titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
While the console won't include a copy of the upcoming Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the release date coincides with the game's launch on September 26, 2024. This timing allows fans to experience the new Zelda adventure from day one on a themed console.
