We’re roughly one month out from the launch ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and another Nintendo property is joining the festivities.Splatoon 3will host aZelda-themed Splatfest on the weekend beforeTears of the Kingdom‘s launch.
Running from May 5 to May 7, this special Splatfest will split players up amongst the three sections of the Triforce: Wisdom, Power, and Courage. Pick your favorite aspect of the Triforce, or maybe justyour favorite holder to back, and join in the inky battles.
The Splatfest will also host fights on a special version of Scorch Gorge, with a Triforce-style layout. This map seems pretty well-suited to Tricolor Turf Wars in particular, which seems like it could make that mode fairly appealing for the weekend.

It’s not just about the battles, though. As anySplatoonplayer will tell you, it’s as much about the fashion. And this special three-way Splatfest will also have residents of the Splatlandsdressing up in themed shirtsfor the showdown, too.
Themed shirts arealso hitting the Nintendo store, for real-life wear. So if you’re a fan of bothSplatoonandZelda, and wanted to express that in everyday life, you’ve got an easy medium for it now. There’s alsoa sale availablefor a bundle withSplatoon 3and a three-month Nintendo Switch membership, running from April 17 through May 7.
Nintendo hosted a launch-window Splatfest forPokemon ScarletandVioletas well, and it’s nice to see them keeping the trend up. It’s a fun way to celebrate a new game launch, and all the added theming and cosmetics are a neat touch. So yes, I think I’ll be bootingSplatoonback up for a few matches, just to lock in my Power vote and shirt.
