Editing Play Nintendo

[[File:Play Nintendo logo.png|thumb]]
'''Play Nintendo''' is a division of [[Nintendo]]'s North American website. Like the rest of the website, it promotes Nintendo's products and merchandise, although it has a more direct demographic toward a younger audience. There are five sections, each with a self-explanatory title: "Friends", "Activities", "Media", "Printables", and "News & Tips". Each section has content regarding every Nintendo franchise, including ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. A similar division exists on the Nintendo of Europe sites, titled '''[[Nintendo Kids Club]]'''.

==Sections==
===Friends===
This is where users can view profiles on Nintendo characters, including antagonists. There are profiles for eight ''The Legend of Zelda'' characters, and one of those characters is of a race. The images are based on artwork from either ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD]]'' or ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''.

|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Link icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Link]]
|'''''Sometimes he’s an adult and sometimes he’s a kid, but he’s always the legendary hero of Hyrule.'''<br>He has his trusty shield and Master Sword, but Link relies mainly on courage and cleverness to make his way through puzzling dungeons and exciting battles.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Princess Zelda icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Princess Zelda]]
|'''''Even when the kingdom is in peril, this brave princess keeps it together.'''<br>The forces of evil are no match for this regal leader and her friend, Link. The powerful Triforce could not be in better hands.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Ganondorf icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Ganondorf]]
|'''''When something bad happens in Hyrule, this guy is usually behind it.'''<br>We don’t want to scare you, but you wouldn’t want to face off against this creepy villain without some magical help. He’s after the power of the Triforce, and no trick is too dirty for him.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Tetra icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Tetra]]
|'''''Yarr! This pirate girl leads a rag-tag crew in search of treasure on the high seas.'''<br>She seems pretty gruff and greedy at first, but Tetra has a heart of gold Rupees. She’s also hiding an amazing secret that will change the way you think of her.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Sheik icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Sheik]]
|'''''Sheik is a mysterious, masked hero from the Sheikah tribe.'''<br>When Link runs into trouble, help sometimes comes from the shadows—in the form of a sleek, nimble warrior named Sheik. Why does Sheik look so familiar?''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Tingle icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Tingle]]
|'''''Kooloo-Limpah! It’s Tingle!'''<br>With his pointy ears and green suit, one might mistake Tingle for a forest fairy. He’s not actually a fairy (much to his dismay). But he is good at making maps, and that seems to be good enough for Link.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Epona icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Epona]]
|'''''Want a ride? Just call for your trusty steed, and she’ll come running.'''<br>When you need to cover ground quickly in Hyrule, your faithful horse Epona is an ideal traveling companion. Back on the ranch, the two of you can also join in some fun races.''
|-
|align=center|[[File:Play Nintendo Gorons icon.png|100px]]<br>[[Goron]]s
|'''''These lovable lumps have rocks in their stomachs and a song in their hearts.'''<br>Beneath the mountains of Hyrule live a strange people called Gorons. Earn their trust, and they will become solid friends when you need a sword—or if you just want to hang out near some lava.''
|}

===Activities===
A section where games, quizzes, polls, and related activities can be played.

====Skill Quizzes====

|Hyrule: then and now
|''A way-back-when quiz about the land Link loves!''
|-
|A beast of a quiz
|''How much do you know about Link’s creature companions from the Legend of Zelda series of games?''
|-
|What’s that costume do?
|''In the Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes game, you can craft all kinds of outfits for your hero to wear. Each one does something special, so it’s smart to know which one does what. Take this quiz to find out if you’re a fashion genius…or a contender for “worst dressed.”''
|-
|How well do you know Hyrule?
|''Any game in the Legend of Zelda series will give you a wonderful world to explore.  Have you visited, yet? Good! Are you ready for a pop quiz?''
|}

====Personality Quizzes====
These are quizzes where the user answers some questions to see which category or result they are under. Like the Skill Quizzes, there are ''The Legend of Zelda''-centered quizzes and quizzes with only one or few questions regarding the series.

|'''Adventure awaits!'''<br>Would you want to play as Cadence, Link, or Princess Zelda?
|Who would you want to adventure with?
|
*[[Cadence]]
*[[Link]]
*[[Princess Zelda]]
|'''''Would you want to play as Cadence, Link, or Princess Zelda?'''<br>You can choose as to play Link or Zelda from the get-go in the Cadence of Hyrule ~ Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda ~ game. And once she’s unlocked, you can also play as Cadence in this rhythm action-adventure game set to the world and music of the Legend of Zelda series!''
|-
|'''Dress for success this Halloween!'''<br>Choose your Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes costume.
|Which stylish yet powerful trick-or-treating costume is right for you?
|
*Big Bomb Outfit! It turns normal bombs into Big Bombs, so it’ll probably do the same for those miniature chocolate bars, right?
*Legendary Dress! It makes more hearts appear. Hearts are pretty valuable, so maybe you can trade them for delicious candy or something.
*Zora Costume! It helps you swim faster, which should be helpful if you’ll be trick-or-treating underwater this year.
*Goron Garb! It lets you walk across lava—and face it, your neighborhood is lousy with lava.
*Cozy Parka! It prevents you from slipping on ice, so you’ll be safe trick-or-treating in the frozen tundra.
*Cheetah Costume! It lets you run instead of walking, so you can zip around and collect all the candy before your friends even get to the second house.
|'''''It’s dangerous to go alone. Wear this!'''<br>These Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes costumes come with some pretty tricky special abilities. Which one would work best for your Halloween adventures?''
|-
|'''Buy a house in Hyrule!'''<br>Remember: location, location, location.
|Where would you build a house in [[Hyrule]]?
|
*[[Kakariko Village]] (Features: good shopping, popular Milk Bar, unregulated Cucco coops within city limits)
*[[Death Mountain]]: (Features: excellent views, neighborly Gorons, deadly falling boulders)
*[[Lost Woods]]: (Features: fresh air, bad signage, locals say it’s cursed)
|'''''FOR SALE: charming fixer-upper near Hyrule Field (no electricity or plumbing)'''<br>If you spend a lot of time adventuring in Hyrule with Link and Zelda, then it’s tempting to settle down there to avoid the commute. Where’s the best place to live? We have a few suggestions.''
|-
|'''Link has some useful items'''<br>Which one would you carry in your backpack?
|Which of these handy items would you carry in your backpack?
|
*[[Hookshot]] (a mechanical grappling hook that pulls you up to high places or across chasms)
*[[Ocarina]] (an egg-shaped flute that may or may not let you time travel)
*[[Boomerang]] (you throw it and it...hey, you know what a boomerang is!)
|'''''Borrow something from Link's inventory'''<br>We're not sure how he does it, but Link hauls around a hefty collection of items. He'll loan you something, if you like.''
|-
|'''Elixir mixer'''<br>Which ability-boosting potion would you want in real life?
|Which elixir would you want in real life?
|
*Hasty Elixir: Increases Speed
*Chilly Elixir: Heat Resistance
*Spicy Elixir: Cold Resistance
*Enduring Elixir: Restores Stamina
*Sneaky Elixir: Increases Stealth
*Electro Elixir: Electricity Resistance
*Fireproof Elixir: Fireproof Effect
|'''''Cookin’ up a storm'''<br>You can cook up elixirs to boost Link’s Health, Speed, Stamina, and more in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game—but not in real life. Oh, well! Guess we’ll just have to use our imaginations with this poll…'''''
