Nintendo Switch Owners Can Also Enjoy The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Available Today
“The introduction of Nintendo Switch Lite gives people the choice of a Nintendo Switch system that best fits their needs and personal play style,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With the simultaneous launch of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, today is a great day for newcomers and existing Nintendo Switch owners alike.”
As a dedicated handheld gaming device, Nintendo Switch Lite supports all Nintendo Switch software that can be played in Handheld mode. It’s ideal for people who have lots of opportunities to play on the go, and for anyone who wants to play online via Nintendo Switch Online (sold separately) or local wireless multiplayer* with friends or family who already own a Nintendo Switch system.

Also launching today, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Adventure joins the robust lineup of games that can be played on any Nintendo Switch family system. In this reimagining of one of the most beloved games in the Legend of Zelda series, Link has washed ashore on a mysterious island, filled with strange and colorful inhabitants. To return home, Link must explore a reimagined Koholint Island that’s been faithfully rebuilt in a new art style. Along the way, he will battle enemies and conquer numerous dungeons riddled with tricks, traps and enemies, including some from the Super Mario series.
In the new Chamber Dungeon mode, players earn Chambers (dungeon rooms) throughout the story and arrange them to complete objectives. Launching alongside the game is an adorable new Link amiibo figure. By using this Link amiibo figure**, players can unlock Shadow Link in the Chamber Dungeon.
