The console itself has a yellow backplate with the face of a Rabite (one of the series' mascots) in the center. The dock is a similar story, with the same color scheme and a full body image of a Rabite. The Joy-Con are an orange-yellow shade to complement the overall Rabite yellow theme. Unlike other special editions, this one has a customized Joy-Con grip, depicting a Rabite soaring in the air above the game's title.

The back is decorated with the Hylian Crest - also in gold - that shines when it hits the light. It&rsquo🍎;s a tried-and-true design, if a little simple, but you can’t go wrong with the Triforce and a splash of gold.
