and special to show off today.

This just came in recently.

Now, if you saw yesterday's video

or you notice all the stuff behind me,

you'll know I've done a Zelda themed Nintendo Switch setup.

♫ It's The Legend of Zelda and it's really rad

♫ Those creatures from Ganon are pretty bad

- And to complete it, I wanted a very special Switch

to go with it so I talked to ColorWare

and got a custom designed one to match the theme.

Now, obviously I know what this looks like

'cause I set up the order

but I haven't actually opened it yet

so I haven't seen the real thing physically

so let's go ahead and check it out right now.

Just open it up.

Oh, this is pretty.

Okay, so let's get.

So I wanted to do something

that was based more on Breath of the Wild specifically

'cause that is the one for Switch

so for the main body,

I actually got it designed to match with Link's main tunic.

It's the one that you see on all

the different ads and stuff.

So this is the closet blue I could find.

I think they called it Paradise Blue.

I went for a matte finish

'cause metallic just didn't look good to me

and then of course white trim for the Switch logo

which this looks a thousand times better

than the regular Switch, I'm sorry.

Black is always cool but this is so pretty.

Now, to match with that,

to go with a little more traditional Zelda to highlight it,

I got gold joy-cons.

Yeah, now this has metallic finish.

I mean, it kinda has to to get that gold look.

Let's see what it looks like all together.

That Switch sound is still so satisfying every time.

Yeah, that looks awesome.

I am so happy with how this actually turned out.

I mean, the picture looked cool but this, this is awesome.

One other thing that I got customized with this set,

cables and stuff don't really matter this time.

You guys have seen a Switch probably before.

You can also get the dock.

So I got the dock to match

with the same thing I did on the back.

Ooh.

So I mean, it's black on the back

but the front side is that same blue.

That's pretty.

I think this is gonna fit with this setup really nicely.

Now, as cool as this is,

this actually wasn't the first design I had.

I went through a whole lot of other ideas first

mainly 'cause while we knew we wanted to do

an ultimate Switch setup,

we didn't decide on the theme just yet

though Zelda was a very likely one.

So to begin with, one of the first designs

I actually went for was something

a little more generically Nintendo

and did one based on the original NES

where the main body was this gray

that was very close to white, the logo was red

which actually looked really cool

and I even used a black bar for the kickstand

to emulate that black bar on the original NES.

Another design idea I had was to actually go

with the Japanese Famicom where instead of that gray color,

it's more of an off-white cream

and you have a dark red cranberry mixed in

which actually might be my personal favorite design

out of all of those we've done but while that was cool,

we thought it might be better

to go for a more specific franchise

and before you get to Zelda,

the first one you have to do is Mario.

So for that one, I went for a red based body.

I did white on the logo to kinda match with Mario's hat

and I did blue joy-cons

to match the overalls that he wears and pants

but that one didn't really work

because when you looked at the Switch from the front,

you just had blue joy-cons and none of the red came through.

Doesn't really make you think of Mario.

Also at the same time, I did a Luigi design alternative

'cause Luigi is the better brother.

So I worked through a couple other ideas.

I did a Metroid one that was red and orange.

I thought about maybe doing a Donkey Kong one

with brown and maybe a little yellow or red for the tie

but ultimately, we landed on Zelda being the best idea

since after all Breath of the Wild was the big launch title.

So I actually had two design ideas first

before hitting this on.

One was to go with a more traditional design

that I thought Nintendo would do

where it's a black Switch with gold highlights

which did look pretty cool but I didn't like really going

with a black back for the Switch

'cause you already have black Switches.

It just didn't feel like anything unique or different

so instead I went for an idea

that was based specifically on Breath of the Wild

where I took ideas from Link's tunics.

So we have that blue design like this here

and then for the joy-cons,

I actually went for an asymmetric design

like the neon where it was light blue on one side,

white on the other which looked good

but I still missed having that gold

so I ended up deciding to collapse the two ideas

which led to this.

Now, I know I already kinda said this at the start

but I really wanna drive home

how insanely good the quality on this thing is.

I mean, I'm sure just seeing it you think it looks cool

but even feeling it in comparison

to an actual Nintendo Switch,

it doesn't really feel all that different.

I mean, it is paint so the texture is a slightly bit rougher

but not in any way that's actually uncomfortable.

I mean, you barely notice after using it for a little while

and if you showed this to someone

and didn't tell them it was a custom job,

people could easily believe

that this was some kind of special edition

that Nintendo released.

I mean, it's just awesome.

There is one other thing about it

that I almost forgot to mention

and that's I'm giving this one away.

So if you want a chance to own this thing,

for all the details.

Also, if you haven't seen the Switch setup video,

all this crazy stuff happening behind me,

make sure you check that out as well

and I will see you guys later.
