The recently held Nintendo Live event sparked a heated debate among fans about upcoming updates to their favorite game. The event took place in Japan, and a nice novelty was an ad featuring Tears of the Kingdom from The Legend of Zelda series. After watching the promo video, the audience had many theories about what will await the players in the Breath of the Wild. The statue in the video attracted particular attention as it depicts Link pulling forward with a hand that emits light, and this hand has generated a number of speculations. And the statue itself looks very impressive; it can be safely called a collector's dream.

Shortly after the event ended, many Zelda fans were able to get a glimpse of what the statue looked like, even if they weren't at the Nintendo Live 2022, as a number of posts appeared on Twitter with photos and videos of the life-size statue. And all the presented materials testify that the creators clearly wanted to focus on Link's hand, which, glowing blue-green, persistently reaches for something.
