Last week, I saw a dad at the park playing Zelda on his Switch while his kid was on the swings. He looked happy. He wasn’t playing on a special edition—just a regular old Switch. That’s the point. The console is just a vessel. The real treasure is the fifteen minutes you steal to explore a dungeon or solve a shrine before bed.
So, if you got one: congrats! You are officially the coolest person in your group chat. Frame that order confirmation. If you didn’t: take a deep breath. There will be more special editions. And in the meantime, go play Tears of the Kingdom and jump off a sky island. It’s just as fun on a gray Switch. I promise.
Life is short, and so are stock announcements. But our love for Zelda? That’s been going strong for forty years, and it’s not going anywhere.
