It’s a great time to be a fan of The Legend of Zelda. The two most recent entries in the iconic Nintendo franchise couldn’t be more different, yet each pushed the series forward in notable ways. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom garnered widespread acclaim for its unique spin on the classic formula, while Tears of the Kingdom set a new gold standard for the 3D side of the series. If you haven’t played one or both of these gems, Woot has awesome limited-time deals you should consider before they expire at the end of the month.
Along with those terrific new games, there’s also a ton of themed merchandise out there, including a huge lineup of Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch controllers to pair with your trips to Hyrule. We’ve rounded up a bunch of the coolest Zelda controllers that have released over the years below, including the Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller and Hori Split Pad Pro, our favorite Switch controllers for docked and portable play, respectively.
Before we dive in, we should note that third-party Switch controllers do not have NFC, so you won’t be able to scan Amiibo figures while using them. Some third-party controllers also drop motion controls and rumble–and none of them have “HD rumble” like Nintendo’s official controllers. On the positive side, most of the third-party Zelda controllers on this list have remappable back buttons, which is more useful than the omitted features for many games.
