There’s truly an officially licensed controller case made by RDS Industries that popped up on Amazon shortly earlier than the Switch 2’s launch.

The Zelda branding on this case is subtle enough that Switch users who don’t even like the series would probably be fine with it. A round metal emblem with the game’s logo is affixed on the center of the top cover. It also has a gold zipper pull with the Tears of the Kingdom logo. The promotional images don’t do a great job of displaying the colors. After receiving the case recently, I can confirm that it’s forest green, similar to Link’s iconic tunic.
The case was designed for the original Switch Pro Controller and Pleasure-Cons with a grip hooked up. That mentioned, the recessed backside mildew additionally suits the Switch 2 Pro Controller nearly completely, and the Joy-Con 2 Controllers with the usual or Charging Grip hooked up are supported, too. The elastic band that secures the controller in place opens the door for a wide selection of third-party controllers.
The case additionally has slots for 2 Pleasure-Con beneath the Pro Controller. This slot solely helps authentic Switch Pleasure-Con, because the Switch 2 Pleasure-Con are too massive.
An open mesh compartment can be utilized to retailer small equipment resembling charging cables and Pleasure-Con straps.
