Key information
Woot offers the 2023 Switch 1 Pro Controller featuring a Tears of the Kingdom design at a reduced price until midnight E.T. on Oct. 5. GameStop also lists the item at the identical price, pending possible changes.
The older Tears of the Kingdom model lacks several additions found on the newer Switch 2 and Ocarina of Time variant, such as programmable back buttons, a 3.5mm headphone jack, enhanced rumble, and a GameChat C button.
Aesthetically, the older version utilizes a black, gold, and white color scheme with subdued Zonai artwork. Conversely, the newer release showcases a black, gold, and green look featuring metallic Triforce details.
Priced at $69.99, the older accessory provides a budget-friendly alternative to the $99 standalone Ocarina controller or the $109 bundle that adds a display stand, especially while official retailers remain sold out of newer hardware.
