Japnese video game company,Nintendo, apparently intends to release a new game alongside a limited-edition console.

On Reddit, ResetEra, and Famiboards, live images of the portable device known as the “Nintendo Switch OLED Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition” ,  sequel to 2017’s Breath of the Wild, have appeared online,  according to Gizmoch.

It seems Nintendo will be continuing the tradition of releasing custom themed consoles based on first-party titles.

The retail packaging and actual console were visible in the pictures that were leaked. The Joy-cons and Zelda-themed dock are shown in the pictures, but the console itself is not clearly visible.

Nintendo experienced a roughly 23% reduction in console sales in August of last year, falling to 3.43 million in the second quarter (Q2).

Due to a lack of semiconductors, sales of the whole Nintendo Switch family of consoles decreased.

Based on available information, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, will make its global debut on May 12, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch.
