Splatoon 3 has held a recent Splatfest based on the virtues of the three central Legend of Zelda characters: Team Courage (Link), Team Wisdom (Zelda), and Team Power (Ganondorf).
The results are in and Team Power has won the Splatfest by a 57 percent sweep, bringing Ganondorf cleanly on top. Hyrule is truly doomed with these results.
The Splatoon x The Legend of #Zelda Splatfest results are in! And the winner is… *chest opening music* #TeamPower with a 57p Win!

According to the results (via Shacknews), Team Power won the Open Splatfest by 34.22 percent, the Pro Splatfest by 35.13 percent and the Tricolor Battle Matches by 34.47 percent.
This shouldn’t be too surprising as much of the hype around the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom is the return of Ganondorf after only seeing his corrupt bestial form Calamity Ganon in Breath of The Wild.
This is further helped by the reveal of Ganondorf’s new “swole” design which has instantly become popular among fans. The news of the Zelda Splatfest has led to a further slew of fanart of Zelda or the three Splatest representatives from the in-game band Deep Cut: Shiver, Frye, and Bag Man.
