American Wrestler’s Costume Pays Tribute To Zelda

Sunday 8th June

Pro WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes draws his inspiration from an unexpected source - Zelda. He claims, in the official WWE magazine that he tries to apply the three qualities represented by the Triforce - power, wisdom and courage - in his life, and has the well-known Triforce symbol on the boots of his costume. He also says he tries to play the SNES classic “Link to the Past” annually. I can’t really call myself a wrestling fan, but I think it’s quite cool that Zelda references are sneaking into the public eye…
What?


 
“It’s the Tri-Force from The Legend of Zelda,” Rhodes confirmed. “You know how some people have a book they re-read every year? Well I re-play The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Super Nintendo every year. In the game, the Tri-Force symbolized power, wisdom and courage. I thought I could apply those qualities to my life.”

Triforceism - the new Jediism? let’s hope not. Click here for a decent-sized picture of the boots.

I apologise for the necessary image of topless sweaty men.

I watched wrestling a lot as a kid.

Morpheus would love this article, by the way.

Never watched wrestling, but that’s pretty sweet. That kick looks like it’s gonna hurt in about two seconds, though… I don’t even wanna think about it.


The Ocarina - Wednesday 11th June 08:00 pm

There are usually two outcomes to grabbing someone’s leg in pro-wrestling. One, the person who kicked may jump up and perform a roundhouse kick. Two, the other wrestler might just spin him around for a back drop.

If you like wrestling, it actually means you’re gay.


TMP - Friday 13th June 03:00 pm

gay people like wrestlers; wrestlers like zelda…?


The Ocarina - Friday 13th June 08:12 pm

Man, now I really want to play WWF No Mercy.


LinkyP00 - Monday 16th June 12:04 am

No Mercy is a great game one of my favorites. I used to watched wrestling alot as a kid as well. General Salt is a closet homosexual. Really cool that he would tribute Zelda like that though. But I know I would do the same thing too if I was famous =P.


Espy - Monday 16th June 05:46 pm

He’s gay for Snake. He just can’t admit it.

…The Metal Gear Solid character, that is.


The Ocarina - Monday 16th June 10:08 pm

God, I thought you meant Salt and Snake Face were giving it to each other.

Jeez, man, scare me, why don’t you?


General Salt - Tuesday 17th June 05:04 am

No, LinkyP00 and Espy, you’re both wrong. I’m openly gay for and only for Big Boss.


Espy - Tuesday 17th June 01:05 pm

I knew you would say that. You’re so predictable, Salty.


Bennyhanna - Tuesday 17th June 06:28 pm

HOW DARE YOU not everyone who follows pro wrestling is gay you homophobe. i am a 28 year old professional who is happily married and i follow all sorts of pro wrestling douche bag


Espy - Tuesday 17th June 09:16 pm

You shouldn’t really take General Salt seriously…


Bennyhanna - Tuesday 17th June 09:33 pm

Are you saying i should take salt with a grain of salt??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Sorry i couldnt resist.


The Ocarina - Monday 23rd June 05:47 am

I hope it isn’t much longer before a new update.


Espy - Monday 23rd June 12:21 pm

There’ll be one on Friday. Aside from that, I can’t foresee any more.
