Zelda-Themed Splatfest Arrives In Splatoon 3 Today!
If you’re looking forward to The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, this will be a pretty big week for you. The game comes out on the 12th, but before then, Nintendo decided to have a bit of fun by transforming the monthly Splatfest of Splatoon 3 into a mini-promotion for the upcoming title. You might think we’re joking about that, but we’re not. The Splatfests have been used to promote games in the past, such as with Gen 9 last year. However, with this Splatfest, they’re going above and beyond to clarify what’s coming up.
The theme of the Splatfest is choosing your favorite part/gift of the Tri-Force. First, there’s the Power side which is tied to Ganondorf. Then there’s the Wisdom side that is tied to Princess Zelda. Finally, there’s the side of Courage, which is always tied to Link. The Tri-Force is often a focal point in the plot of most games in the franchise, so having it split up with people choosing what side to go on is fun.
But that’s not all. Nintendo also outfitted the Tricolor Battle to be a stage that is shaped like the Tri-Force. The references are clearly strong with this crossover. On that note, to remind people of the upcoming Splatfest, they dropped some new art highlighting the trio of Deep Cut and which side they are supporting in the event.
