Nintendo is celebrating the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with a special edition Nintendo Switch – OLED Model and an exciting collaboration with Splatoon 3 for a limited-time Splatfest event. Fans of both franchises can now experience these unique offerings as they await the launch of the new Zelda game on May 12th.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition Nintendo Switch – OLED Model
Available for a suggested retail price of $359.99, the special edition Nintendo Switch – OLED Model features a sleek design inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Hylian Crest adorns the front of the dock, and the golden-colored Joy-Con controllers bring a touch of heroic flair to the gaming experience. This limited-edition console allows players to explore the vast landscapes of Hyrule in style, even before the new game’s release.
Splatoon x The Legend of Zelda Collaboration Splatfest
In addition to the new console, a special The Legend of Zelda-inspired Splatoon 3 Splatfest event is sailing into the sun-scorched Splatlands. This limited-time event, taking place from Friday, May 5th, at 5 p.m. PT to Sunday, May 7th, at 5 p.m. PT, poses a question that Zelda fans may recognize: Which do you seek? Power, Wisdom, or Courage?
Players can choose their team in Splatoon 3 starting today and participate in Splatfest Battles to determine the winning side. The collaboration Splatfest even features a stage with a distinct triangular shape that Hyrule fans will particularly enjoy.
My Nintendo Store Offers and Discounts
To further celebrate the collaboration, the My Nintendo Store offers real-life versions of the in-game T-shirts for Inklings and Octolings, as well as a keychain set that will be available in the future. Additionally, a Splatoon 3 + Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership (3 Months) bundle is now available at 20% off, allowing players to participate in multiplayer matches, including the upcoming Splatoon x The Legend of Zelda Collaboration Splatfest.
A Perfect Time to Dive into Splatoon 3
Splatfests are limited-time events in Splatoon 3 where players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can pick one of three teams and participate in Tricolor Turf War battles, competing in heated 4-vs-2-vs-2 matches. At the end of the event, the winning side is revealed, and rewards are distributed, with the winning side receiving more, of course.
With the special edition Nintendo Switch and the Splatoon x The Legend of Zelda Collaboration Splatfest, fans of both franchises have plenty of reasons to be excited. Don’t miss out on these unique offerings as the gaming world gears up for the highly anticipated release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
