As a society, we love emojis. We even made a movie about them. Now, thankfully, the Twitter gods have seen fit to give Zelda fans a reason to create #content. Nintendo of America recently announced in a tweet that a Hylian Shield emoji would appear after the tags: #SkywardSwordHD, #Zelda, and #SkywardSword.
The custom Hylian Shield emoji was a really wise choice from a marketing standpoint. It’s big, thick, and iconic. There are few other items in Zelda games that would encapsulate the series and look good as an emoji. Honestly, it’s a cool little bit of viral marketing and it’s nice to see big brands like Twitter jumping on the Skyward Sword HD hype train. Make sure you tag all of your Zelda-related tweets with one of those hashtags to show your support and to help get Zelda trending until release!
Skyward Sword HD will be released on July 16, 2021 for Nintendo Switch.
