Ahead of its September 26 launch date, the ‘Hyrule edition’ of the Nintendo Switch Lite is now available for pre-order at Best Buy for $209.99. This special edition commemorates the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Buyers will still need to purchase Echoes of Wisdom separately, but the console comes with a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
The console features a black and gold design, reminiscent of Hylian royalty. A crest adorns the rear of the console, while the front displays a triforce symbol at the bottom right corner.

Apart from the aesthetics, there isn't much difference between the standard and special editions. Echoes of Wisdom will be the first title to feature Princess Zelda in a lead role, which might make this special edition more appealing to fans.
Nintendo’s premium subscription provides access to online play, cloud-based saves, and a library of classic games from the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, N64, and even the Sega Genesis eras. This includes heralded Zelda titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It's a fantastic way to revisit the series' roots whenever nostalgia strikes.
