Celebrating the upcoming release of Tears of the Kingdom, a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild fan has created their own Sheikah Slate Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Continuing a legacy established on earlier consoles, Nintendo has released several unique Switch Pro Controllers already, but this Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild player has an idea for highlighting the game through their gamepad.
With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild selling over 29 million copies since it was released back in 2017, many Nintendo fans are anticipating the May 12 launch of its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom. Although Breath of the Wild has been notably successful, very little about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was revealed until a February Nintendo Direct showcase. As anticipation for Tears of the Kingdom has built since more details and a leak have emerged, one player had an idea on how to prepare their console for the hyped sequel.
Reddit user Ravekitt recently shared two images of their impressive Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sheikah Slate Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, with one including the console itself. The controller features a wood finish look to its shell, light blue face buttons, D-pad, and triggers, with light pink analog sticks, menu, and syncing buttons. Ravekitt's Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has the iconic Sheikah Eye staring at the player from the top center of the gamepad, while various dots and lines wrap around it in an aesthetic that may feel familiar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild fans.
The photo that Ravekitt has included of their customized Switch Pro controller accompanied by the console itself shows the pink tones used for the sticks and smaller buttons that match the Nintendo tablet and Joy-Cons. According to Ravekitt, such liberties were taken with the Breath of the Wild Switch Pro Controller and its color scheme in order to accurately match their setup. The Joy-Cons both feature flower petal designs and both sticks have matching engravings in them, and the image emphasizes how well the Sheikah Slate Pro Controller matches The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gameplay on the screen of the Nintendo Switch.
Though Ravekitt hasn't stated if they'll be taking commissions to recreate their Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sheikah Slate controller, the Nintendo fan has given some instructions on how to mimic it using a vinyl cutter. While Nintendo has released an incredible Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED unit, fans may have a harder time finding a Switch Pro Controller matching the aesthetic of Ravekitt's.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available now for Nintendo Switch.
