Numerous officially endorsed PowerA wireless controllers inspired by The Legend of Zelda are available at significant markdowns on Amazon. Enthusiasts of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom can choose from three vibrant PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controllers, featuring Kingdom of Hyrule for just $30.40 (originally $70). If you don’t mind using AA batteries and sacrificing motion controls, Sworn Protector is priced at only $25 (originally $45) and boasts a more understated, traditional design.
Three of the controllers are tagged as time-limited offers, including one with RGB lighting features, but Amazon has not provided an expiration date for the Zelda controller sale. All four controllers carry Nintendo’s official licensing and connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to Switch and Switch 2 consoles. Zelda enthusiasts can also benefit from discounts on the Horipad Pro Wireless Controller, which is green and features Link’s character design from Twilight Princess.

PowerA stands as the leading, licensed producer of Switch and Switch 2 wireless controllers; however, Amazon also has time-sensitive offers on some impressive official gamepads manufactured by PDP
and Turtle Beach, featuring this luminous Super Mario Boo-Hoo Ghost motif priced at $40 (previously $60) and the Sonic Superstars RealMz available for $38.44 (down from $60). PDP’s RealMz controllers come with see-through casings and 3D diorama displays within.
With Nintendo’s official Pro Controllers for Switch 1/2 now costing $80/$90, acquiring first-party gamepads for Players 2-4 has turned out rather pricey. If you’re in search of affordability for wireless controllers to enhance your collection, explore the PowerA discounts gallery we’ve compiled below. It begins with the Zelda controllers, alongside Super Mario and Pokemon designs.
Zelda Sworn Protector Wireless Controller
$25 (previously $45)
The Sworn Protector motif features a cream-colored base enhanced by Royal Blue buttons, triggers, and thumbstick rings. The Master Sword and Hylian Shield adorn the left grip, while the famous Hylian Crest is highlighted in red above the menu buttons.
PowerA offers a variety of Switch and Switch 2 wireless controllers, all boasting comparable designs and impressive ergonomics. Details and specifications may vary slightly across models.
The Sworn Protector stands as one of PowerA’s introductory controllers, yet it includes two remappable back buttons. It lacks motion controls, rumble features, an IR camera, or NFC compatibility for Amiibo.
This Zelda-themed controller is operated by two AA batteries and can last up to 30 hours before a fresh pair is required. We suggest purchasing a set of rechargeable batteries like this popular 8-pack with a charger for $22 (down from $29).
Noteworthy Features:
- 2 back buttons
- Powered by 2 AA batteries (included)
- Up to 30 hours of battery life
Zelda: Kingdom of Hyrule Enhanced Wireless Controller
$30.40 (previously $70)
The Hyrule Kingdom edition is a part of PowerA’s Enhanced Wireless Controller collection. The aesthetic is inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s iconic artwork showcasing Link perched on a mountain overlooking the vast open world.
PowerA controllers designated with the “Enhanced” label are rechargeable through USB-C and can operate for up to 30 hours on a complete charge. Enhanced controllers feature two customizable back buttons, six-axis motion controls, and anti-friction thumbstick rings. They do not include rumble functionality, an IR camera, or NFC capabilities. This is a common characteristic among PowerA’s Switch controllers and officially licensed third-party controllers overall.
Notable Attributes:
- 2 back buttons
- Anti-friction analog stick rings
- Motion Controls
- Rechargeable
- Up to 30 hours battery life
Zelda: Midnight Ride Enhanced Wireless Controller

- 2 back buttons
- Anti-friction analog stick rings

Zelda: Wake Up Link Enhanced Wireless Controller (Lumectra)
$50 (originally $70)
The Wake Up, Link edition is the latest of the four discounted PowerA controllers inspired by The Legend of Zelda.

When Lumectra is activated, the Sheikah symbols, Crest of the Sheikah, and “Wake Up Link” are displayed as illustrated in the image above. It includes five distinct RGB lighting modes to modify the look and illumination patterns.
The RGB lighting utilizes more battery, so this variant…
Sure! Here is the modified text while preserving the HTML tags and structure:
only operates for approximately 15 hours between recharges. Aside from Lumectra, it encompasses the identical features as the other Advanced versions.
Main Features:
- 5 RGB illumination modes
- 2 rear buttons
- Anti-friction analog stick rings

All of the controllers listed below function wirelessly on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, with the majority available at around $20 off or more. You will spot two PowerA Advantage Wireless Controllers towards the bottom of the gallery featuring smaller $5 discounts. Crafted for Nintendo Switch 2 yet fully compatible with Switch, the PowerA Advantage Controllers include the C Button for GameChat and Hall Effect sticks. These controllers just debuted on October 30, meaning even a minor discount is rather appealing. It’s notable that PowerA’s Advantage range is also obtainable in wired variants with the same enhanced attributes. This retro-styled Super Mario controller is currently available at just $28.65 (originally $40).
If you appreciate having back buttons on your controllers and seek additional customization alternatives, we strongly suggest taking a look at 8BitDo’s Ultimate and Pro series. 8BitDo unveiled new versions of both this year. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller is on promotion for $60 (previously $70); if you prefer aligned thumbsticks resembling a PlayStation controller, the 8BitDo Pro 3 Gamepad with GameCube-inspired color schemes is available for $63 (was $70). Explore our article on the Ultimate 2 for further information.
