Don’t forget to check them out before they’re gone!

Nintendo often provides Switch users with an assortment of icons for personalizing their profiles, which are inspired by various popular Nintendo games. While many players may already prefer certain options based on their favorite titles, the system updates regularly to offer fresh choices, maintaining a diverse selection.

Fans of “The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link” and “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” can now collect new emblems inspired by these two classic games. Specifically, “The Adventure of Link” has been given five icons, while “Ocarina of Time” boasts thirteen. The emblems for “The Adventure of Link” are modeled after the original game’s sprite artwork, whereas those for “Ocarina of Time” showcase various depictions of Link in his youth and adulthood as well as key characters such as Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf.

How to Get the New Zelda Nintendo Switch Icons

Interested gamers will have to use their Platinum Points to acquire these icons, but it’s important to note that the games themselves must be launched on your system for the icons to become available. You don’t need to play the games; simply booting them up through the Nintendo Classics app is enough. Each icon can be unlocked for 10 Platinum points apiece. Launching either game will earn you 50 points, or double that if you launch both, so fans should find it easy to collect many icons even if they haven’t saved up any Platinum points. A key point to remember is that “Zelda: Ocarina of Time” is included in the Expansion Pack, so those wanting the icons from this game will need to have a subscription to the additional Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack add-on.

For fans of Zelda, eagerly anticipating the enhancements coming to both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s important to remember that Nintendo remains dedicated to providing unique gaming experiences for original Nintendo Switch owners. Although players have ample time to collect the Platinum trophies to unlock these icons, they should be aware that this offer expires on June 30. Similar to past promotions, once this date passes, these Nintendo icons will likely become unavailable for an extended period.
