The Legend of Zelda is coming Splatoon 3. The ink-fueled shooter is getting a special Splatfest inspired by the Legend of Zelda ahead of the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The event will bring with it a special Triforce themed card, starting on May 5 and running through May 7.
In Splatoon 3, players can choose to be part of one of three teams and compete online for their team as part of a Splatfest. The Zelda theme is almost at good considering there are three teams and the Triforce is one of the row symbols of the series. For the Zelda Splatfest, players will be given the option of representing one of three parts of the Triforce: the Triforce of power (performed by Ganon), the Triforce of Wisdom (performed by Zelda), or the Triforce of Courage (performed by Link ).
The developers have introduced other fun features for the event. There will be Zelda themed shirts and a special version of Scorch Gorge for the Tricolor Turf War; viewed from above, the map is designed to look like the Triforce’s three stacked triangles.

It looks like it’s going to be a fun event, let’s hope not everyone chooses Ganon’s team just because his new design is hot.
