More Zelda collabs are starting up next week in Japan! Ichiban Kuji will have a Zelda prize lottery, Takarajimasha will release a rupee pouch, and the Akiba Tolim Lawson will have Zelda decorations. Sadly my prediction of a Baskin-Robbins collab seems less likely…

Taking a break from Dagda to visit Wuhu Island in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort! Really digging thumb wrestling and table tennis, plus the exploration games are fun to control. The quest to hit all the secret targets starts now.

Good prices on some N64 classics
