The Legend of Zelda Gear Coming to Miitomo During Nintendo's E3 Events

Nintendo has detailed the various ways fans will be able to engage with the company over E3. Along with hosting its Treehouse streams and showing off its games, Nintendo is also introducing new content to its mobile social game, Miitomo.

"Miitomo users should check @NintendoAmerica on Twitter today for a special tweet kicking off a collaboration between the mobile app and the Legend of Zelda franchise," it said in a press release.

"If the tweet gets a combined 10,000 retweets worldwide, Nintendo will issue a 'Link's new hair wig' as an in-app gift to all users of Nintendo's Miitomo mobile app. If it gets 20,000 combined retweets, Nintendo will give all Miitomo users a 'Link wig' in the Miitomo app."

On June 14, Nintendo will introduce a new Miitomo Drop mini-game and all prizes will be themed around The Legend of Zelda.

"Players will also be able to use Miitomo coins in Miitomo to purchase The Legend of Zelda collaboration items. An additional The Legend of Zelda collaboration gift will be available on the My Nintendo website, and players can exchange their My Nintendo Platinum Points for this item."
