Splatoon 3 announces Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Splatfest
Original (4/14): To celebrate next month’s launch of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a special Splatfest will be held in Splatoon 3. Players are being asked whether they’d side with power, wisdom, or courage.
Something that’s been teased as part of the event is a special Tricolor Turf War stage in the Scorch Gorge with “unusual, triangular geometry” – obviously a nod to the Triforce from Zelda. You can get a closer look below.
And that's not the only news… The SRL Satellite team has unearthed imaging of a special Tricolor Turf War stage in the Scorch Gorge area that's unique to this Splatfest. Unlike the nearby rock formations, the stage has an unusual, triangular geometry. Reminds us of something… pic.twitter.com/EK4lebylRH

In Japan, there’ll be t-shirts and keychains available. The same shirts can be prepurchased in North America here. Fans in North America will be able to grab the keychains via My Nintendo in the future.
The new Splatfest kicks off on May 5, 2023 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. It’ll last for two full days per usual, ending on May 7. We’ll have the results here as soon as they’re available.
