#TeamPowerWe're roughly one month out from the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (https://www.destructoid.com/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-final-trailer-released-news/), and another Nintendo property is joining the festivities. Splatoon 3 will host a Zelda-themed Splatfest on the weekend before Tears 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 just your favorite holder to back (https://www.destructoid.com/top-5-hottest-hotties-in-the-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-trailer/), 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.

Get your Splatoon x Zelda virtual look tooIt's not just about the battles, though. As any Splatoon player will tell you, it's as much about the fashion. And this special three-way Splatfest will also have residents of the Splatlands dressing up in themed shirts (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1646881953050943488) for the showdown, too.
Themed shirts are also hitting the Nintendo store (https://www.nintendo.com/store/characters/splatoon/), for real-life wear. So if you're a fan of both Splatoon and Zelda, and wanted to express that in everyday life, you've got an easy medium for it now. There's also a sale available (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1646888720480735232) for a bundle with Splatoon 3 and a three-month Nintendo Switch membership, running from April 17 through May 7.
Nintendo hosted a launch-window Splatfest for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as 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 booting Splatoon back up for a few matches, just to lock in my Power vote and shirt.
