Lucky Nintendo fans who secured a pre-order for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 are starting to open the boxes containing their swanky new consoles — and are receiving a nice, unexpected surprise.

So while some eagle-eyed fans were already aware of it, just as many had no idea the detail was there in the first place.
