The Legend of Zelda filter counts down the days until Tears of the Kingdom’s release. We had a go and it is pretty funny.
As the grand launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom nears, Nintendo has collaborated with Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook to unveil an exclusive photo/video filter connected to the game.
Aptly named “Adventure Awaits,” this filter showcases a stylised countdown timer adorned with lavish gold tones and the game’s emblem.
I had a go and the results are… enjoyable but nothing to shout home about. It’s all a bit of fun, and a teaser countdown clock for the most hyped game of the year, so far!
What did we think?
I chose the Instagram filter as I don’t personally use Snapchat and Facebook is so passé, but the results will be much the same.
It is basically a countdown clock to the release date. It counts the days, hours, minutes and somewhat unnecessarily, the seconds!
Why you would need to know the release date to the second is anyone’s guess. I put on a serious quest taking face, but you can choose any expression you want!
How to get the filter?
To help fans make the most of this enticing lens on Snapchat, Nintendo provides comprehensive guidance. Enthusiasts can unlock it by scanning a Snapcode within the app or visiting Nintendo’s profile. Fans can then celebrate the upcoming release by sharing images magnificently embellished with the Zelda-themed lens.
The Tears of the Kingdom filter is also accessible on Facebook and Instagram. To access the filter, visit the @NintendoAmerica profile on either platform and select the “Effects” tab.
The marketing campaign for Tears of the Kingdom has intensified in recent months, with lots of leaks and teasers coming thick and fast.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch on 12 May, and the new Zelda-themed Switch OLED system is already available for purchase.
