I hadn’t seen one of these in years, then my wife and I played BotW.
My first thought was that whoever named this thing an ‘octorock’ missed a golden opportunity by not calling it… a rocktopus.
That name goes back to original LoZ, can’t change it now. Lots of Zelda creatures were introduced then, it had impressive diversity for a NES game. Molblin, Zoras, Darknuts, Lynels, Like-Likes, Wizzrobes, Peahats, WallMasters, Gohma, Dodongo…
Some had weird names directly taken from Japanese, and some had weird names from localization (…Manhandla?)
Oh I remember them from back then, I just also can’t resist a good pun.
I know I’ve seen the same thing at Target for $30, just depends on if they have it in stock.
Same here, pops up at Targets in the PNW pretty regularly.
I can’t see myself paying that much for a simple plush toy, but it is pretty cute though. eBay has it 10 bucks cheaper if you don’t want to go back.
I’d like a blue one.
Is that the Minish Cap version? Nice to see that game getting merch.
it looks to me like the original version from Zelda 1 and the minish cap version
@cities@lemmy.world who is this
