Splatoon 3 Getting Zelda-Themed Splatfest Next Month!
Nintendo is one never to waste a true opportunity to do either a crossover event with their properties or to use one of their properties to promote one of the other IPs that have a release coming. Splatoon 3 is quickly becoming the game that will serve as a “pre-launch hype machine” for certain Nintendo properties. You might recall that last November, they did a Splatfest that had you picking which type of Pokemon you usually have as your starter. It was a big hit, and everyone loved it. Fast forward to now, and we’re about to get that again with a Legend of Zelda twist.
As revealed by Nintendo on Twitter, a week before Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom releases on Nintendo Switch, they’ll be doing a Spaltfest revolving around the Tri-Force and the powers it bestows. In other words, are you on “Team Power,” “Team Wisdom,” Or “Team Courage”?
A special Splatoon x The Legend of #Zelda Splatfest in #Splatoon3 is ink-coming! Will you side with #TeamPower, #TeamWisdom, or #TeamCourage?This special in-game event runs from 5/5 at 5pm PT to 5/7 at 5pm PT! pic.twitter.com/DuzbCEIXmi
In many ways, this is one of the core themes of that franchise. Ganondorf is always seeking power, and that’s what Tri-Force grants him. Zelda has always been a wise woman, and she’s used that wisdom to save Hyrule alongside a certain hero. As for Link, his courage helps him throw himself into danger without a second thought, and he’s always willing to fight for what is right.
Given these options and the love tied to some of the characters, it’ll be interesting to see how things go for the selection process. The last Splatfest had one entry only getting 8% of the player behind them, but we have a feeling it’ll be a bit more even this time around.
