Hori Celebrates Zelda’s 40th Anniversary With Switch 2 Accessories That Might Outshine Nintendo’s

 

Hori's The Legend of Zelda collection will be released in November in Japan.

The Legend of Zelda is turning 40, and Nintendo is marking the occasion with a special edition Switch 2, a Switch 2 Pro Controller, and a Switch 2 carrying case. But Nintendo isn’t the only company celebrating. Hori, one of the most popular third-party gaming accessory makers, has revealed its own Zelda-themed lineup for Switch 2—and if you ask us, these might turn even more heads than Nintendo’s official gear.

Hori’s The Legend of Zelda collection is made up of five products, all scheduled to release in November. The lineup includes the Wireless Horipad Turbo for Nintendo Switch 2, the Hori Adventure Pack, the Hori Slim Tough Pouch, the Hori Compact Carry All, and the Hori Push Game Card Case. If you want to see the full collection and official product images, Hori’s official The Legend of Zelda page has all the details.

Wireless Horipad Turbo: A Hyrule Map in Your Hands

The standout item is the Wireless Horipad Turbo for Nintendo Switch 2. It has a white base, but it’s covered in gold details: the Triforce and Royal Family crest on one side, circular golden patterns on the other, and a silhouette of Link and his horse, Epona, worked into the design. Underneath it all is a map of Hyrule that stretches across the controller. It’s a striking look that feels premium without being too loud.

Feature-wise, it’s the same as Hori’s standard Horipad Turbo. That means wireless-only play, TMR thumbsticks, multi-profile support, button lock, programmable back buttons, a dedicated C-button, gyro and accelerometer sensors, and up to 10 hours of battery life. The standard version comes in several colors—including Kirby and Cyberpunk 2077 editions—and is currently $40.49 on Amazon. If you like the controller but want a non-Zelda option, that’s a solid place to start.

Cases and Card Storage for Zelda Fans

The rest of the collection is all about carrying and protecting your Switch 2. The Adventure Pack, Slim Tough Pouch, and Compact Carry All share a brown leather-like finish, decorated with the same crest and the Link-and-Epona silhouette. Each one is designed to hold the console and accessories, with different sizes and layouts depending on how much you want to carry.

Then there’s the Push Game Card Case. It’s gold, features a small Link and Epona motif, holds six game cards, and uses a push mechanism to eject them. It’s a small accessory, but it rounds out the collection nicely.

Pricing and Availability

Hori hasn’t announced whether these accessories will be available outside Japan. For now, buyers can pre-order them through Hori’s website. The prices are:

  • Wireless Horipad Turbo: JPY 8,980 (~$59 / €51)
  • Slim Tough Pouch: JPY 4,480 (~$29 / €25)
  • Adventure Pack: JPY 4,980 (~$33 / €28)
  • Compact Carry All: JPY 5,480 (~$36 / €31)
  • Push Game Card Case: JPY 1,780 (~$12 / €10)

The Bottom Line

Nintendo’s official 40th-anniversary Switch 2 hardware will likely be in high demand, but Hori’s Zelda collection offers more variety for fans who want to customize their setup. Between the map-covered controller, the leather-style cases, and the clever push card case, there’s a lot here for Zelda collectors to love. The only catch is availability—at least for now, it’s a Japan-first release. If Hori brings these west, they could easily become some of the best Switch 2 accessories of the year.
