Power vs. Wisdom vs. Courage

Power vs. Wisdom vs. Courage is an upcoming Splatfest event in Splatoon 3. It was announced on social networks on 2023-04-14. It is the first Splatfest in the Splatoon series to be themed around the The Legend of Zelda franchise.

Details
This Splatfest is a celebration of the upcoming installment in the The Legend of Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which will launch roughly a week after the Splatfest on 2023-05-12. In the franchise, the holy relic called the Triforce is the main driving force of several games' plots and appears frequently in symbolism aside from this. It is capable of granting any single wish when all three segments are combined in balance: the Triforce of Power, held by the dark lord Ganondorf; the Triforce of Wisdom, held by Princess Zelda; and the Triforce of Courage, held by the hero Link. Therefore, this Splatfest represents these three virtues.

The Tricolor Turf War stage for this Splatfest will be Scorch Gorge. Unlike previous modifications made to stages in order to function as a Tricolor stage, Scorch Gorge's layout instead takes on the shape of the Triforce. It is unclear how players will be divided into teams while on the map.

Trivia

 * The official art features silhouettes of Ganondorf and Link as they appear in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time while the one of Princess Zelda originates from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
 * In addition, the symbols of the Triforce of Power, Wisdom, and Courage can be seen on the backs of the hands of Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link respectively and they are pictured alongside the marks of their respective goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore.
 * Similarly, the Triforce designs seen on promotional keyrings and the reverse of the T-shirts feature ink splats covering up the two non-applicable Triforce pieces for each team.
 * The wooden platforms, ladders and torches connected to the stone pillars seen in the background of Scorch Gorge are a reference to Gerudo Canyon, a location in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and presumably The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
 * The weapons shown in the official art correlate to their respective character; the Dynamo Roller is slow but powerful, referencing Ganondorf's attacks, the Tri-Stringer represents Zelda's Bow of Light, and the Splatana Wiper represents Link's Master Sword.
 * The appearances of the Inklings and Octoling in the official art correlate to their respective character as well; Link and Zelda both have pointed ears, like Inklings, and Ganondorf is usually shown with round ears. Additionally, Zelda has often been portrayed with braids.
