This looks like the Pro Controller for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Monster Hunter Rise had a love child. Coincidentally, these are the two Pro Controllers that I already own, so I like this one as well and will get it, of course. I love the Pro Controller and have been hoping for a Zelda edition for a while now. The colors of the handles are a bit disappointing, where the left one could have been golden, but it's probably supposed to represent Link's state and it still looks good.
That being said, Nintendo is going all-in with this game... There's everything! We will get:
- A Collector's Edition with artbook and steelbook
- An amiibo
- A Nintendo Switch OLED
- Some merchandise for pre-orders
- And now this Pro Controller...
Plus, there is also an official Nintendo Switch carrying case:
Sadly, the carrying case releases the same date as the Pro Controller and the game: on May 12th. This should have been available right on April 28th, together with the Nintendo Switch OLED, since this also comes bundled with a screen protector. And Nintendo's own screen protectors are really good, but you can't buy them separately, which is super stupid.
Anyway, you can spend a month's wage on the game alone. Well, I earn a little bit more than that, but this is still getting crazy. Nintendo really wants to milk as much out of this game as possible.
I don't even think that there has been any Nintendo Switch title that got all of these things combined. There were some games with a number of them, but not all of this, e.g. Splatoon 3 last year got very close, but it didn't have a Collector's Edition for the game.
The only thing that Tears of the Kingdom hasn't gotten (yet) is an Expansion Pass. And that can still happen...
