Video summary
The video begins by addressing a fresh wave of leaks surrounding Nintendo's upcoming Zelda 40th Anniversary and the anticipated Switch 2 Pro Controller. The host acknowledges that while some initial images, such as leaked photos of the console itself, were previously discussed in earlier content, new details have since emerged to keep fans engaged. To celebrate this excitement, the creator offers a giveaway for a Nintendo Switch, requiring only a channel subscription to enter via links provided in the description and comments. This segment sets the stage for diving deeper into specific updates that distinguish these latest revelations from past information.
A significant portion of the new content focuses on an updated design comparison for the Zelda 40th Anniversary logo against previous iterations from the 25th and 30th anniversaries, noting notably that no official logo was released for the 35th milestone. The video highlights how a community member named Necroil Lima accurately predicted elements of the final logo before its release, earning credit for his foresight despite minor discrepancies in lettering. Beyond logos, the most substantial new leak reveals the back design of the Switch Pro Controller, which features gold wrapping around the triggers and green accents depicting Link shooting his sword through the Switch 2 logo from one end to the other. This intricate detail pays homage to *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*, where players could shoot their own swords as beams, adding a nostalgic touch that fans are eager to see realized on hardware.
All these images originate from Chinese forums and suggest that while high-quality photos of the console itself have not yet surfaced, the community remains hopeful for further leaks or an official announcement before the September Nintendo Direct event. The host draws parallels to previous manufacturing leaks seen with the Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 OLED in late 2023, explaining that such early disclosures are common when manufacturers struggle to keep details under wraps prior to reveals. Rather than causing delays, these premature leaks serve primarily to build anticipation for the upcoming direct, reinforcing the likelihood that both the new controller and console will be officially confirmed within a month or so as Nintendo prepares its next major presentation.

You know, sometimes you make a video and
you go, "Hey, let me get this live
quick. This is really big news." And
then after it's live, you're like, "Oh
crap, we have more." That's right, more
images of the Zelda Switch 2 Pro
Controller, Zelda 40th anniversary leak
stuff. Uh, things are kind of going
crazy. So, we're going to recap what we
covered so far and go over what's new.
Uh, guys, we are giving away a Switch,
too. You can enter through the link down
in the pin comment or the description.
The only requirement to enter is to be
subscribed to the channel. We're going
to make this video short and sweet for
you guys. Uh, so right here we obviously
have Necroil Lima. We went over this
image already in a prior video if you
want to look at it. This is the leaked
console. Okay, cool. That's great. Uh,
that's not new. Again, we have a closer
look in our prior video. Same with this
as well. We have a closer look at this,
too. So, cool. That's not new. Now,
we're going to get into what actually is
new. First off, how about a direct
comparison of that 40th anniversary
logo? Well, we have a look at it
compared to the 25th and the 30th
anniversary. Remember, there wasn't a
35th anniversary logo. So, look at that.
40th Legend of Zelda. Pretty cool.
Pretty unique, pretty different.
Probably the most unique one since the
25th anniversary. Okay, that's really
interesting. Um, also here is just a
comparison of what the drawn one was
from Neccoipe versus the final design.
And yeah, Necroalipe was right on. He
said, "Yeah, the lettering is not 100%
right." But hey, yeah, he legitimately
saw the logo. So, credit to Necroalipe
for breaking that news to the internet.
Now, let's get to what's new. We talked
about how we hadn't seen the back of the
Switch 2 Pro Controller to know how
things wrapped around. Now, we have.
There it is, folks. The back of the
Switch Pro Control. You can see it wraps
the gold around the back on the on the
back part of it by the triggers, but
then you see the green wrapping around
the back of the system with the Link
shooting his sword through the Switch 2
logo out the other end. If you know the
original Zelda full life, you can shoot
your sword beams. That is what is
happening right there on the very back
of the controller. What a nice touch.
Just a really really nice touch. Really
excited to see that. Uh and one last
thing just to kind of throw out where
this that came from is right here. Uh we
talked about this image already uh on
our prior video, but there was actually
one more image that we hadn't found. All
of this, by the way, is coming from
Chinese forums. Uh and it's this one
right here. That is the one that has the
back of the controller. Unfortunately,
we haven't seen any more like high
quality photos of the console. We're
really hoping that uh another batch of
photos ends up leaking and we see the
rest. Or really what we're hoping for is
that Nintendo just decides to reveal the
damn thing. But either way, guys, it's
probably happening in the September
Nintendo Direct. So, we're probably
still like a month away from actually
having this all officially announced and
confirmed. We had this happen, by the
way, with the Tears of the Kingdom
Switch 2 OLED. If you remember back in
2023 in December of 2022, we got
manufacturing leaks just like that for
this. Nintendo has a hard time getting
this stuff announced before stuff leaks
from manufacturing. But it didn't delay
anything last time. It's probably not
delaying anything this time. All it's
actually doing is just getting people
more and more excited for the upcoming
Nintendo Direct September. I'm telling
you guys, it's probably in September.
I'll see you then. Bye everyone.
Heat. Heat.
