I don't usually cover the totally, completely, definitely hilarious April Fools jokes all these companies like to pull on April 1. But sometimes that comes back to bite me when the joke products actually get made. It seems that's what has happened here, as Corsair has released 3D print files for a cube that can house fans on each face—that's it, that's all it does.

To be fair, I can't even seem to find evidence that this was an April Fools joke. But Corsair implies as much:

"From April Fools, to Computex, to Gamescom and beyond - here by popular demand: you can now print your own Corsair fan cube! Just a simple cube that holds 6 fans—no fuss, no greater meaning, only fans."

"No greater meaning," that's what I like to hear. In a world that seems to be collapsing around us in every direction, sometimes it's nice to have something pointless to grasp on to.

At any rate, if you fancy making one, you can download the files from Printables. They include three main parts—the base and both sides of the cube—plus a connector, which you print four of. Apart from this, all you need is M4x14 mm screws to connect the base.

Judging from the picture, it looks like the cube supports standard 120 mm fans, but don't quote me on that. So if you have a few spare case fans lying around, as well as a 3D printing machine, why not? Well, I suppose there's the fact that it'll be a waste of energy, but hey, that's RGB anyway, right?

If you've been sitting there feeling sorry for yourself that you missed out on the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Pro controller, you'll be happy to know Hori has an Ocarina of Time pad of its own on the horizon.

Hori Japan has unveiled on its official X (Twitter) page that a new official Ocarina of Time remake controller and a batch of Switch 2 accessories inspired by the upcoming game are now available to pre-order in Japan. As a Horipad Turbo, the controller will be missing some of the premium features of Nintendo's first-party pad, like its NFC-reading tech, but the wireless accessory is still a pretty sight to behold. Particularly for Zelda fans who love spying the Hylian crest (and a tiny silhouette of Link and Epona) on all their Ninty peripherals.

As the new 8,980 yen (approx $58.48) controller is a Horipad Turbo device, you'll have TMR sticks at your disposal if you pre-order this pad, along with some mappable back buttons like all existing versions of this wireless accessory. While that's all well and good, the battery is a bit lackluster, especially when compared to the Switch 2 Pro Controller's 40-hours. Instead, Hori states you can manage 10 hours of playtime per charge, which I imagine will be pretty easy to achieve once the Ocarina of Time Remake releases later this year.

However, as is always the case with these officially licensed accessories, the importance is less on specs and more on design, and this is a great-looking Zelda peripheral. The white and gold colorway looks as prestigious as the Princess herself, and I love that the faceplate seems to feature a marbling effect. The small Link and Epona sihoulette, however, is my favorite detail, and it can also be spotted on the back of the Game Card Case. Unlike the controller, this case can be imported for $11.59 via Amazon Japan and includes space for what appears to be up to three physical games.

The Link and Epona motifs don't stop there, as they're also a fixture of all three cases, which make up the rest of this set. It's found on the exterior of the $29.16 (via Amazon) Slim Hard Pouch, alongside a faded version of the map of Hyrule.

The leather-like texture of the case lends itself to this map imagery, as it makes the entire accessory look like a worn-out item from Link's massive arsenal of weapons, rather than a simple Switch 2 case. The interior lining looks just as spectacular, as seen in the photos available on the official Hori online store, it features a Link-tunic green colored fabric that I adore.

There's no clear sign whether this lining is found on the matching $32.43 (Amazon) Shoulder Pouch or the $35.67 (Amazon) All-in-One Storage bag, but one can only hope. Talking of which, there's no sign any of these accessories will officially make their way to the US or UK Amazon storefronts either, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If you're okay with importing, you can expect them to launch on November 30, 2026, a little after the game.

With the hype of the Ocarina of Time Remake growing by the day, I suspect this won't be the only collection of accessories in store for Zelda and Switch 2 fans.
