This console is a special edition of the Nintendo Switch Lite, possibly the best ever made. In the past, we’ve had slight variations on the design, the most recent of which was for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but only the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Sword and Shield Editions really went anywhere with their designs. The Hyrule Edition kicks things up a notch with a striking look for what looks to be an amazing ga🍷me.

The Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition will be released on September 26, 2024, though the p🦄re-order opening date will differ from this. Nintendo has shifted to a pattern of announcing special edition consoles for its games prior to a pre-order date.

Below, I’ve listed every store I can find a listing for the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition. Hopefully, one of them will work for you.

GAME (UK)

has a listing for the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition for £209.99. It’s limited to one per customer, and the company will cancel orders to the same address with different details, so try not to break the system and stick to the limit.

GAME is closing its loyalty points system, which is one of the only reasons I ever shopped there, and has a £5 delivery charge for everything. Even a pack of Magic: The Gathering cards. The company is reliable and there’s a good chance you’ll get your console early, but there are cheaper options out there.

The Game Collection (UK)

is charging £219.99 for the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition, which includes 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online. That’s a pretty good deal, plus you can earn points with the store, meaning you can start earning towards your next purchase. This is the retailer I’ll be using because it offers the best overall value for money.

Playasia (Worldwide)

is the only store I’ve found that is currently offering worldwide delivery for the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition. However, it’s out of stock at the time of writing. I’d say this is because the store is waiting to know exactly how many units it has to offer customers, so keep an eye out.

Nintendo Store

One of the first things should do if you want to pre-order a Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition is in the console on Nintendo’s official store page. This will ensure you get an email as soon as official pre-orders go live with Nintendo, after which you can place an order on the site.

Registering your interest doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get to pre-order the console. I’ve registered my interest before and have still had to fight the onslaught of customers hoping to buy a copy of a collector’s edition of a game or a special edition of a console directly from Nintendo.

What is the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition?

The Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition is a special The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom edition Nintendo Switch Lite. It features a gold color on the device itself, a Triforce symbol on the bottom left-hand corner of the face of the device, and the incredible franchise logo on the back. It’s a celebration of all things The Legend of Zelda packed into Nintendo’s sleekest version of the console to date.
