Reminder: Zelda Switch Lite 'Hyrule Edition' Pre-Orders Are Now Live, Will You Be Getting It?

I don't have a Switch lite (yet) and honestly the only way they'll make me interested in one would be if they made a Yoshi version like they did with the 3DS.

I do like the look of this one regardless though, that Zelda gold is slick.

Nope.
I'm waiting for the next Switch machine.

My big stupid mits can't fit a Switch Lite but I'll get this anyway. It's gorgeous and I love all the Hyeule editions.

I want a Switch Lite in my collection, but the Zelda one isn't the one I want. Either the purple/blue or the black ones will do.

Nope. Looks great but I already bought two Switch Lites way back and I am very set on that. I don't think they did anything to improve it since they released it so I don't see the point. In fact I just bought myself one of those Zelda edition Switch OLED's as I didn't have an OLED. Seemed like a far better direction for me to go in.

I got mine preordered. I think this means I officially have a problem but I have wanted a Switch Lite for a while now

I won't pre-order the thing, and if I do get it, it'll be because I have a huge excess of money/Ninty didn't announce the Switch 2 yet haha.

İ wanted to buy the Tears of the kingdom Nintendo Switch Oled model but it is to much money for me. So it did not happen. İf İ had the money for it. İ had right now 1 in my house. That change was very big. That was beautiful. İ am not so interested in this Nintendo Switch Lite Zelda Echoes of Wisdom model. İ am not so handheld gamer. İ love more console.
İ leave my money for the next Nintendo console.

I can’t justify the purchase (I have 3 working switches already and I live alone.). But I will drool on the pictures. I will go buy some Sailor Moon Merchandise to self soothe. Lol.

Somebody will make a shell for the regular switch. I may buy that.

Such a gorgeous handheld, but I'll have to pass. If I did buy it, I'd just keep it in the box unused like my Pokémon Sword & Shield Edition Switch Lite system.

I will save my money for PS5 Pro and the next Gen Nintendo console.

I would love to grab one, but I don't see myself opting to take a lite to work over my OLED. I recognize that most disagree, but an OLED in a Nitro Deck is perfect for me.

I never had a Switch Lite and I'm a big Zelda fan, so this is the perfect combination for me. Already pre-ordered.

dont really get the whole getting more than one switches thing cause they arent cheap 😹😹😹😹😹

If it was a fabled Switch OLED then yeah, I’d probably pick it up. But it sadly isn’t, so I’m going to resist spending the money on it despite it having a killer design.

Just maybe. I think the main thing is drift can still be an issue and that the screen is still LCD instead of OLED.

I already got a Lite so I prefer to save my money for the sucessor, despite I really love the style and look of the Zelda version Lite.

I already upgrade my switch to the Zelda Oled but a year ago. Now its time to justify putting money to the side for a switch 2.

Not buying another switch model.(Already have the oled)
Waiting for the switch 2.

I’m still not sure… considering purchasing for my kids but really I’m waiting on the switch successor to be announced

Nope, not interested in a light in any form what so ever. I have nearly buckled on an oled a couple of times but i just keep telling myself that its not worth it and switch 2 isnt that far away. Im still rocking an OG.

No point for me as I mostly (95%) play docked. It does look great though. 😄

@Kidfunkadelic83 Was going to post something along these lines anyways ... but I thought just like you before buying the OLED, and as somebody playing a lot in hybrid mode, I have never regreted my purchase, the difference in screens between the OG and OLED is like night and day.

Also, I answered too fast 'nope' and missed the 'I own too many Switch already', having bought the Zelda OLED, I now have 3 Switch, just for myself.

I'm one of those crazies who visits the subreddits for various Nintendo platforms. I now own a ridiculous number of Nintendo hardware pieces (we're talking ballpark 3xN64, 7xNGC, 5xWii, 3xWiiU, 6xN3DS), but not any of the special edition 3DS', so when I see people's collections of sweet 3DS models, I get jealous.

So, seeing as I believe the Switch will go down in history as the greatest gamers have ever had it, I've gone pretty big in collecting Switches. I love them and will be playing Switch for the rest of my life.

I have:
OG neon
1.1 grey
Smash Bros. edition
Fortnite edition
Coral Lite
Zacian & Zamazenta Lite
Animal Crossing edition
Red Mario anniversary (non-OLED) edition
Monster Hunter edition
White OLED
Splatoon OLED
Pokemon Sc/Vi OLED
Tears of the Kingdom OLED

So yeah, I've pre-ordered the Hyrule Gold Lite.

@Yalloo i may still get one as once the switch successor is out i will prob still keep the switch and mod it for "preservation" purposes. I could do with the better battery life too as when on the odd occasion i do play in handheld mode the battery doesnt last more than a couple of hours at most. I was hoping for a substantial reduction at some point tho.

@Kidfunkadelic83 the battery is something noticeable too, I'd say you get about 30% more game time with it. And for sure when the next Switch will be out, the OLED will go even further down in price. (it's already less expensive than when it first released)

@gcunit wow, you must have one of those gorgeous cabinets with all these beautiful special edition Switch 😍

@Yalloo if i could get one for 199.99 i would bite. Maybe something will happen when the switch 2 is announced. A price drob has got to happen at some point.

@gcunit wow, that’s an excellent collection, look after them! And I think you’re right about the Switch’ eventual standing in gaming HIStory. A complete game changer and in your words, ‘the greatest gamers have ever had it…’

@Yalloo No actually, I don't have any display cabinets, just bookcases and boxes in the loft. Don't really have the room to justify a display cabinet, what with my oversized games and hardware collection. One day, perhaps, though displaying them has never been a particular goal of mine. I just like to know I have them (and it quietens that 'I want one of those' voice in my head).

@gcunit Also nice, having these all over the place, everywhere you look there's some pretty to be seen! 🧡

Joystick drift is def a problem on switch lite so unless you're comfortable swapping out the stick(s) after a couple of years of heavy play...

I won't be getting one, if it had an OLED screen I'd consider it but not with LCD.

Nintendo just trying to squeeze every bit of coin they can before their next hardware release.

Nope, no reason too.

I already have a white OLED and two Switch Lites (both Pink and Gray colored) I don’t need this one.

The 12 months NSO+, makes this a great deal.

My heart says yes but my brain says no.
Already have 3 switches. V1 v2 and oled. All working great.
Waiting for the successor. Waiting for the big one.

I've been eyeing up a Switch Lite for about a year now for NSO and indie games, and keep my OG Switch docked for things like Zelda and Xenoblade. I've been dead against grey thumbpads though, so this model is perfect for me. Had to pull the trigger.

All I want is gold Zelda cartridges - give them to me!!

@gcunit I can so much relate to this voice in your head thing, haha.

I wants it, I needs it, we must have it.

Hows about a LoZ Switch Lite OLED

Nah. Already own a Lite, and anyway, the OLED basically made my Lite obsolete, since I prefer that system's richer colors and expanded battery life to the comfier size of the Lite.

Nope I hade switch lite before but I never used it as I was all ways worried about the stike drift and then I sold it

I preferre the normal one at least I can change joy cons over
And i have had lots of pads that have had drift😭

@LikelySatan I wanted to love the Nitro Deck…but it just didn’t feel right.

I mean there is talk on a new console coming so no.

@JRiegler I keep hearing that. I dislike the back buttons. That's it. The thing might be made for just me. I have giant hands, and the Nitro Deck doesn't make them fall asleep like Joycons. The sticks are great, and the dpad is second to a Saturn pad for fighters. I mean it, best controller I have.

Was thinking of getting a Lite for the kid, but seeing what she did to my controllers that came with my OLED, don't think it's a good idea.
I think she might have chewed the analogue sticks.

Already pre-ordered. The color is gorgeous; gold and black are literally my favourite colors and playing the new Zelda on it just feels right

Already preordered it, along with Echoes of Wisdom. Tried looking for my Best Buy credit card, but couldn't find it in my mess of a bedroom (I really need to straighten up, but I've been so busy with work, weddings, and other things in my personal life, that I keep putting it on the back burner), and Best Buy's website was being a b*tt when I was trying to look up my card, so I had to use my regular credit card instead.

My family we have two OG switches. My sister's family has one oled and one OG switch. It's neat that they do this, but I just cannot think of having a switch that does not work on the dock.

Still rocking my day one switch. I see no reason to buy another. Day one for Switch 2 though.

Nah. I'm not interested in a Switch that can't switch. I'm also not interested in a Switch with joycons you can't easily replace.

There must be some gene most humans have that make them like gold things, I am very much not one of those people.

Nope. I am buying a new iPhone this year. So.. no money for a Switch in september. Also I already have a Switch lite, so no need for a second one. (and OLED, and regular)

Nope. Don't need it, don't necessarily want it, don't really like gold. Well you did ask.

Geez, I wasn't considering another Switch but the more I see that shiny devil, the better I think it would look in my life.

It does look really groovy but I already have a lite so I'm good

I vastly prefer the form-factor of the Switch Lite over the original, but no I won’t get this. It looks gorgeous, but I shelled out for the TotK OLED upgrade last year (moving on from my launch-day model) and I have a regular Lite for travel.

The two reasons this is a non-starter for me is the Lites lack of TV connectivity, and the premium the Zelda-branding adds to to the cost at my local retailers. I’m good until the Switch’ successor next year.

Switch 2, please! 🙏🥹

I'm still not sure, but it does look good.

This one is for the collectors and fans. Looks like a stunning unit honestly.

I've never collected variants. I tend to get whatever releases first and stick with it. I may have considered this one if it were a Switch OLED, but as a strictly portable unit, it's too pretty to ding up

I wish I had more disposable income like I used to, otherwise I would have been had a Switch Lite and bought one for my mom. This golden Switch Lite is nice, but I'm waiting on the next system first and foremost.

Never have I ever wanted a Switch that doesn’t actually switch.

I bought my Switch at launch. I never had any interest in a Switch Lite until now. I don't need a Switch Lite, but I WANT this ONE!

Can you not get this Switch Lite Hyrule edition without the 12- month membership? Is this not an option for the North American release?

I already pay the $50 per year Membership.
