Merchoid has just revealed the Legend of Zelda Song of Storms Umbrella, which is an officially licensed umbrella from Nintendo.
Words fail me.
I'll let Merchoid’s community manager, Jessica Adams clear things up for us while I clear my throat repeatedly:
“With the Zelda Song of Storms Umbrella you can do battle with the elements, transforming your sword into an umbrella at a push of a button. In Breath of the Wild, when scaling a mountain in search of a mystical shrine, you knew you were in trouble if dark clouds start rolling in during your ascent. Worry no more! ”
The umbrella is "deployed" by pressing the release button located near the top of the molded handle. So... it works kind of exactly like a regular umbrella. However, there. Is. More! The waterproof canopy features a repeating pattern of triforce emblems in pale blue with alternating darker blue panels! This thing is decorated??
But let's dig a little further, shall we? I want to know exactly how this strange contraption functions...
Upon closing the "umbrella", there is a tie tag to secure the canopy in place.
Well, that tears it! This is umbrella tech like we've never seen and likely will never see again. This is like the 30th coming of Ganon!
If that isn't enough for you to launch your 35 bucks straight into Nintendo's coffers, the Song of Storms umbrella also features a printed nylon scabbard (based, obviously on the Master Sword scabbard) to transport the umbrella in an adjustable, shoulder mounted sling. This gives you the option to wear the umbrella on your shoulder or across your back in "true Master Sword style". Or, any sword style, really.
Alright, let's do a key features recap, because I am all kinds of confused, and I forgot to write down the exact details:
