Companies outside Nintendo are showing their hype The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with new Switch accessories. One of those third-party companies, PDP, just launched a few today that caught my eye. The $27.99 Rematch wired controller has an attractive design, with a silhouette of Link in the center surrounded by dazzling and familiar Sheikah iconography. After exposing it to light, the blue design drawn around the controller can glow in the dark.
Design aside, the wired controller packs in some interesting features that you won’t find with Nintendo’s more expensive Switch Pro wireless controller. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired listening (you can adjust the volume directly on the controller), two adjustable paddles on the back, and a grippy texture around the handles. It’s not bad value for the price, but it lacks rumble and amiibo support.
PDP also made a $19.99 Travel Case for the Nintendo Switch, with an identical design that also glows in the dark. It’s called a “semi-hard” case and the mesh pocket can hold a small amount of games and accessories. The inside of the case can also serve as a stand for the Switch.
Both products are now available through PDP’s site, and the company told Polygon that other retailers will have these products in stock later this spring.
