It may be our contention that The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes doesn't show the famous franchise in its finest light, but it's a title that is undeniably designed to bring 3DS owning friends together for an enjoyable shared experience. For most of us that'll mean sitting in a comfy seat and hopping online or maybe getting together for some local play, but typically Nintendo goes the extra distance.
While in the past few weeks we've occasionally smiled and shaken our heads at occasional little slip ups from Nintendo of America's social team, credit's due for one of its cooler recent posts. Three key figures involved in the game dressed up as colour-coded heroes and recreated our favourite communication placard from the game - the animated pom pom. Aonuma-san, Shikata-san and Mouri-san all get into the spirit to show Nintendo's fun side - yet again.
It remains part of Nintendo's enduring charm that, no matter how senior the roles or important the company staff, they can often be found having fun with their jobs. Why not? These are video games after all.
In any case, we'd suggest sentiment may put Aonuma-san ahead in this pom pom face off, but it's a tough call.

That's awesome. I love Nintendo!
It's always nice to see that Nintendo staff have a fun side to them.
Aonuma looks so jolly and happy. I want a Link Pom Pom pose amiibo now for some reason.
This needs some female action =)
@manu0 Audrey Drake perhaps?
Its good to see Nintendo starting to (for a lack of better word) cheer up. Hopefully this is an sign that things are returning to normal and that a direct wont be that long (before 2016)
Porn porn face-off? Eww. Too kinky for me.
@shigulicious YES! And Ali Rapp!
These people seriously have the coolest jobs on the planet. I thought working in radio was fun but working at Nintendo would be MORE FUN!!
XD rah rah rah! Zelda boom bah!
Aonuma looks like he is super enjoying the photo shoot.
Cringe x3
I mean, seriously, how am I supposed to look at this? A bad game with bad, forced humor to advertise it. Hopefully it will fall into oblivion soon.
"Pom pom" looks like "porn porn" to me...
Aonuma is too darn kawaii for me to handle, GAHHH.
Aonuma is REGGIE! (Refined Elder Gentleman Getting Impeccably Exquisite)
This is why I love Nintendo. I don't care who you are and what you do if you don't make life fun you are just existing and not living...no amount of money or fame can change that. So glad that they take what is likely a very stressful but rewarding job and kick it up a notch.
That's really cute. :3
Lol: Aonuma does it with the most flair.
I'm loving this game and fortunately I don't have to be bound to a review score when I talk about it like reviewers are
@TobiasAmaranth Says the guy with a furry icon.
@DreamOn nice avatar
Remember the Zelda series when it wasn't camp?
I hate multiplayer games but adore his game...I think it must be the limited chat system really, but it gets the job done. Only thing I hate in this game are the quitters when their level isn't chosen....why are people in such a hurry to finish a game as fast as possible?
@TobiasAmaranth Oh geez now I can't unsee that!
Please tell me we'll get to see them all in a Zelda dress at some point.
@Tender_Cutlet Link always wore a dress. So, no.
^ Zelda wears dresses; Link wears tunics. (fixed*)
