Best switch zelda edition 2025 | Expert Advice

[johnwin1]

I researched about the best Nintendo Switch Zelda edition for the past few days because I’m a big fan of the Zelda series and want to buy a themed console. I read reviews on IGN, TechRadar, and GameSpot, and they are marking these two as the best:

Nintendo Switch – OLED Model

Nintendo Switch Lite 
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Lite-Hyrule-Limited/dp/B0D12NWV7D

However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. I mostly play games handheld, but I also like the option of playing on a TV. I care about design, battery life, portability, and overall value. So which one should I buy?

Any recommendation will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you want to play on the TV, the only option is the OLED. My wife has the Lite vs myself with the OLED and I personally find the lite too small. Did you see the Zelda OLED ? https://www.gamestop.com/consoles-hardware/nintendo-switch/consoles/products/nintendo-switch---oled-model---the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-edition/393251.html

I've had an original, a Lite, and an OLED and I have just one question for you.  How big are your hands?

I got rid of all three because, simply put, they're sized for kids hands more than anything, especially the Lite.  The Switch 2 is a fair bit larger but I'm not agreeing to Ninty's new EULA for the thing.
