First customer and tattoo on demand
The release of the latest Zelda is a big event, which can be seen especially in the behavior of fans.
One of them, David Castillo, became the first owner of a physical version of Tears of the Kingdom in the United States. This is no mean feat, as the New Yorker waited nearly three days in line for the opening of a Nintendo store to celebrate the release of the new Zelda (he even took time off work to do this). Congratulations on the man's perseverance.
Creativity, on the other hand, was demonstrated by a tattoo artist from the UK - in anticipation of the game's release, she decided to decorate her hand with an image of Midna, one of the characters accompanying Link in The Legend of Zelda series. The tattoo is full of details, which was appreciated in the comments.
