Nintendo released the limited edition Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda unit in 2021 as part of their celebrations of the franchise's 35th anniversary. This unit featured a full-color pixel screen unlike prior Game & Watch systems. It came with four games, including fully playable NES/Famicom versions of both the Japanese and international variants of The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, the Game Boy version of Link's Awakening in various languages, and a new Zelda-themed variant of Vermin in which the original character's head has been replaced with that of Link. It is unrelated to Game & Watch: Zelda, and contains none of that game's content.

The size and shape of the external hardware is similar to the original Game & Watch Wide Screen series, but with the addition of a cross-shaped d-pad like the one featured in the Game & Watch: Zelda. This unit was released on November 12, 2021.[1][2] The Game & Watch has a very similar concept to the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., but it instead has four games and unlike the Mario one, it has a timer in addition to the clock feature, a hidden game difficulty for the Game and Watch Game, and it bears an emblem on the back of the handheld in the shape of the Triforce.
