Compared to a PSP box:

 

[Orayn]

I really like the cases themselves, the tall aspect ratio looks a bit like the ones the PSP used.

 

[whitemex88]

What are those symbols on the bottom right. The hand with a knife(?), The gun and the male/female symbols?

 

[reelbigtink]

I really like the minimalist design of these things. I'm sure that means we won't get cool spine art but I'll just display the great covers (like BotW).

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Can those be found in any Bic Camera now?

 

[Platy]

Interesting the part about number of players based on mode of play.

Also ... this game has ... romance ?

 

[Cubas]

CERO. Japanese ESRB/PEGI.

 

[zoozilla]

They're CERO rating icons, not sure what they mean exactly.

I would guess mild violence and sexuality (for topless Link? I have no idea).

 

[Dylan]

It would have been nice if they Switched™ to environmentally friendly recycled paper sleeves.

 

[LewieP]

Makes sense that they're highlighting Pro Controller support on the back of the box.

 

[Kuro]

Nintendo is going the Game of Thrones direction

 

[GustyGardens]

What are those symbols on the bottom right. The hand with a knife(?), The gun and the male/female symbols?

Crime, Violence & Sexuality.

Those are what those symbols mean. Sometimes the sexuality marker is used when someone is in their underwear, so it probably just refers to Link because you can remove his clothes.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Those rating symbols are stupidly amazing

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Looks exactly like a PSP case.

 

[Salty Rice]

Knives, Guns and Sex confirmed.

 

[whitemex88]

I figured just wasn't sure what they meant

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Knives, Guns and Sex confirmed.

Finally a true AAA Zelda.

 

[mrlion]

Cut your fingernails man...

 

[Big Chungus]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

As nice as the Wii U's blue was I kinda like the sleek, PSP-style transparency here. Has a very clean and stylish look to it.

 

[ABOVEtheRIM]

IMHO I think these look great compared to wii and wii u cases

 

[Cheesemeister]

No mention of languages supported? Sigh. Oh, well.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Hell yes. Case design moving in the right direction!

 

[arturo2666]

Knives, Guns and Sex confirmed.

I think you mean Preorder Confirmed.

 

[SunDimension24]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

I think so, you can slightly see it on the american box art as well

 

[DecoReturns]

Why she pulling the sword...?

Hmmm...

Edit: She could be putting it back

 

[random25]

Is she really pulling out the sword?

Or is she setting it to the ground?

 

[pizzapizza64]

Why she pulling the sword...?

Hmmm...

Maybe this is the reason for the sexuality logo

 

[FTF]

Wow, that's a great box.

 

[Avixph]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

What if she's going to stab herself?

 

[Tom Nook]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

It Might happen at the beginning of the game?

No way they'll put a spoiler.

 

[Avixph]

It Might happen at the beginning of the game?

No way they'll put a spoiler.

But it's already rusted.

 

[random25]

It's not much of a spoiler when it lacks context.

Wasn't that same icon posted in another thread?

 

[kubus]

Did we know about amiibo functionality of the Breath of the World amiibo yet?

The box here shows the archer Link amiibo (? I think) with the text "Using amiibo unlocks items that will be useful during your journey [among other things]"

So.. nothing groundbreaking I guess.

 

[Skeletos311]

This matches the thing that was posted on Reddit the other week. This must be for 1-2-Switch. I saw people here wondering how you would play 1-2-Switch on a portable only Switch. Well, I guess you just wouldn't.

Tabletop mode.

Guess thats why its not bundled in.

Edit: Wait, tabletop seems to be the same thing

 

[QisTopTier]

Who's to say

Spoiler

it's in the past and that the sword is shattered and link's blood is all over it

Hmm interesting.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

You can't put two and two together based on everything we've seen in the trailer and gameplay?

She's

Spoiler

putting it back in after link gets fucked up and they send him to the day spa

 

[RedToad64]

Is this at a store? You can already buy the game?

 

[Skeletos311]

It's just a display case.

 

[GAMETA]

huh...is she pulling out the sword?

SPOILER ALERT!

According to what we see on the Switch trailer, she's actually returning it to the pedestal after

Spoiler

Link is defeated and presumably killed. The sword will rest there for a 100 years.

 

[J@hranimo]

Aww, I wish we in the States had display cases out :[ It looks really nice.

This gives me such a surreal hype feeling. We're almost there...!

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

あの姫は・・・　
君をずっと待ってるんだぜ

　

who dat

 

[Sojiro]

Knives, Guns and Sex confirmed.

I'm sold!

Cases look good! A step up from the Wii and Wii U ones imo.

 

[opricnik]

Inevitable Zelda and Link romance scene confirmed.

[WordAssassin]

Holy shit I totally called the boxes having little symbols on them showing what modes each games could be played in like two weeks ago. I wonder if I can find the post.

Edit:

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if games had the same icons on their backs that show up on the Switch when you take it out of docked mode to indicate what style of play they're suited for, like how Wii and Wii U games had the icons for what controllers worked with each game. The less of that the better though, since they don't want to confuse the message this time. If the Mario Maker port/sequel really is happening I wonder how they'll get around the touch screen requirement, or if they'll even "get around" it at all. I mean, the handheld mode IS a feature of the console, so it's not like they couldn't put up a "Please Undock Your Nintendo Switch" bubble on the screen when you go into Edit Mode (as obnoxious as that would be).
