Nintendo continues to enhance the Switch Online experience by introducing new profile icons inspired by two legendary Zelda titles. These digital collectibles allow fans to showcase their love for the franchise with artwork from the NES classic The Adventure of Link and the N64 masterpiece Ocarina of Time.

The collection includes five retro-style icons from The Adventure of Link featuring 8-bit character sprites, while Ocarina of Time offers thirteen high-quality icons depicting Young Link, Adult Link, Princess Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf. Each icon captures the essence of these beloved games, perfect for personalizing your Switch profile.
