As the [[ZeldaWiki:Hyrule|name]] suggests, the tournament was themed after [[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] and featured various events and activities inspired by the franchise itself. This included a $200 bonus for the highest-placing player of each ''Zelda'' character, and an on-site "Korok Seed Hunt", which was funded by the 2GGift Shop at a crowdfunded cost of $100. On May 14th, 2018, 2GGaming announced that the tournament would be sponsored by [[Nintendo]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/2GGaming/status/996103368434008066 Nintendo sponsorship announcement]</ref> | ||
