Here’s the funny part: once you actually get the Zelda Edition, you’ll probably be too terrified to use it. You’ll keep it in the box for a year, thinking it might be a collector’s item. Meanwhile, your standard Switch 2 will collect dust because you’re too scared to scuff the golden finish.
I’ve been there. I bought the limited edition Animal Crossing Switch and spent a week debating whether to peel the screen protector. Spoiler: I did, and it was fine. These consoles are meant to be played, not worshipped.
So, brace yourselves. The pre-order chaos is coming, and it’s going to be messy. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or a rookie, remember: it’s just a console. A very pretty, very rare, Zelda-themed console that will make you feel like a hero for owning it—or a fool for trying.
Good luck. I’ll see you in the trenches (specifically, the “Order Pending” screen of a website that’s about to crash).
