There have been a wide-ranging variety of themes when it comes to previous Splatfests. Some of the most notable events have been centered around themes ranging fromZeldato Rock, Paper, Scissors. The themes of Splatfests have always had a knack for being unique and sometimes even out of this world, like the previous Nessie, Aliens, and Bigfoot showdown. Depending on the event’s theme, players will pick sides to represent as each of the three teams battle it out to see who is victorious. Duringthe recentZeldaSplatfest, players had to choose to represent Power, Wisdom, or Courage, with team Power ultimately being the winners of the event.
