The Legend of Zelda Twitter campaign for Miitomo in-app gifts: Miitomo users should check @NintendoAmerica on Twitter today for a special tweet kicking off a collaboration between the mobile app and the Legend of Zelda franchise. If the tweet gets a combined 10,000 retweets worldwide, Nintendo will issue a “Link’s new hair wig” as an in-app gift to all users of Nintendo’s Miitomo mobile app. If it gets 20,000 combined retweets, Nintendo will give all Miitomo users a “Link wig” in the Miitomo app.

More of The Legend of Zelda in Miitomo: Miitomo will continue its celebration of The Legend of Zelda with a themed Miitomo Drop game that will give players the chance to win The Legend of Zelda-themed in-app gear for their Mii character. Players will also be able to use Miitomo coins in Miitomo to purchase The Legend of Zelda collaboration items. An additional The Legend of Zelda collaboration gift will be available on the My Nintendo website, and players can exchange their My Nintendo Platinum Points for this item.

Art work looks great! I'm kind of dismayed that they aren't showing off Federation Force if it's supposed to be out in two months, regardless of internet hate.

This sale likely the anniversary sale JP and EU are getting. Nice to the promoting their other games they are publishing.

Still no green clothes, not unwelcome but an interesting move for Nintendo. Maybe this game's addition to the lore will be the origin of the Hero's Tunic.

I hope it's something different altogether because at present, the EU one is dire. I hope we (EU) get a better E3 sale.

Skyward Sword has already dived into that theme, although it was obviously more focused on Master Sword.

It would be neat if there was some joke about it in the beginning of the game.

Something like, "here link, wear this!"

Then links all, "that tunic is lame af I'm good"

The art is sweet, eponas design kinds reminds me of some big old work horse, Clydesdale maybe? No doubt perfectly suitable for mounted battles :)

Dear Nintendo, for a possible (and imo pretty likely happening) Collector's Edition of the new Zelda game, i wish for an high quality artbook that features everything from this game, artworks, concept arts, etc.

Do it.
