Available to Nintendo Switch Online members
Link, Zelda, Urbosa, Revali, Tera, and a riled-up Bokoblin — the gang’s all here. If you want to be prim and proper, the choice is yours. My eyes immediately darted elsewhere.
If you’re feeling bold, you’ll drop 10 points on the Dubious Food and swap it in as your (permanent?) new Nintendo Switch player icon. Well, at least until the joke wears thin.
You can find the current selection from your Switch home screen — click on the red Switch Online icon, then scroll down to Missions & Rewards to see what’s available.
This whole “weekly avatars” scheme is still pretty fresh, with tons of games and imagery to pull from, so I think it’s amusing that Nintendo is willing to include some off-kilter imagery this early into the proceedings. If anything, the trick is just getting people to pay attention — I would’ve totally missed the Dubious Food if not fora Reddit shout-out.
After appearing inBreath of the WildandAge of Calamity, I’ll be bummed if this so-called food doesn’t return for the sequel. I hope it’s even more of a wildcard next time around.
