Overview
- Cody Rhodes said on his podcast that Nintendo sent a cease‑and‑desist over the Legend of Zelda Triforce he wore on his wrestling boots.
- He said the notice was polite and that the company was not trying to punish him, which he says explains why the symbol disappeared from his gear.
- Photos and a 2008 WWE Magazine feature show Rhodes sporting the Triforce during his first WWE run in the late 2000s.
- Rhodes said he chose the emblem for its themes of power, courage, and wisdom, and he also has a small Triforce tattoo on his ring finger.
- Outlets report no further legal action or Nintendo comment, and the case shows how companies use cease‑and‑desist letters to protect logos even when athletes use them as part of a costume.
