According to the whispers (and by whispers, I mean Reddit threads and YouTube thumbnails with exaggerated arrows), the bundle supposedly includes a Switch 2 console with a shiny gold Triforce decal. It also packs a Pro Controller that looks like the Hylian Shield, so you can pretend you’re blocking debt collectors instead of Bokoblins. And of course, a digital copy of the next Legend of Zelda game, which fans have already named “Breath of the Wild 3: The Accountant’s Revenge.”
Here’s the kicker: the price is rumored to be $499.99. That’s roughly the same cost as a small car from 1997, or a lifetime supply of pumpkin spice lattes. But hey, you’re getting a console that might play games at 4K resolution—assuming your TV isn’t from the Stone Age. Surprising fact: The original Switch launched in 2017, meaning it’s now old enough to vote in some countries. A sequel is long overdue, and fans are more desperate than a Korok trying to find its friend.

Amazon: The unlikely hero?
Why would Amazon get dibs on this bundle? Good question. Probably because they have warehouses large enough to store all our broken dreams and returned Joy-Cons. In reality, Amazon has been pushing deeper into gaming, from their Luna streaming service to sponsoring e-sports teams. Fun fact: Amazon sold a “Prime Gaming” bundle for the first Switch, which included a year of Prime and a weirdly specific Zelda-themed toaster. Nobody bought the toaster.
But if this bundle is real, Amazon could use it to lure us into their ecosystem like a Gohma with a credit card reader. You’ll buy the console, then Amazon will recommend you a “Zelda-themed bath mat,” and suddenly your entire house smells like a Temple of Time. Be careful—or you’ll end up with a cardboard cutout of Link guarding your fridge.
