A new, special edition Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom skin for the Nintendo Switch comes courtesy of dbrand. The ‘Clone of the Kingdom’ design imitates the special edition console without fans needing to splash out on the console itself.
After many years of waiting, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally here. We gave Nintendo’s masterpiece a perfect review and described Links’ newest tale as an “unforgettable adventure.” So it’s only fitting that a great game is combined with a great-looking console skin.
Certain game releases are so special that they get limited edition consoles sporting a unique look. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of these games, but it’s understandable if players don’t want to shell out several hundred dollars for the same console – just for a skin.
In steps dbrand, a manufacturer with over 10 years of glowing reviews who specializes in recreating these rare designs. Their newest creation is indeed the new Tears of the Kingdom console design, and it looks to save consumers a ton of money.

As with anything limited edition or special, this product will only be available to buy for a brief period. With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild selling over 30 million copies, Tears of the Kingdom is expected to be not too far behind that as time goes on.
