Cody Rhodes has come a long way throughout the course of his career and he’s become one of the top stars in WWE. Rhodes has switched up his gear numerous times, and he used to wear boots that featured the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda series.
During a recent episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, The American Nightmare explained that he had to stop using the Triforce on his gear because Nintendo sent him a cease and desist.
“I thought the principles of the Triforce are power, courage, and wisdom. Zelda is the wise one, Link is the one who has the courage, and power is Ganon. They make the three parts of the Triforce, that’s the whole deal. I just liked the idea of thinking and leaning towards your own wisdom and applying it, being ambitious and be powerful in a world that is competitive or sports entertainment, and having the courage to do it.
I thought it was applicable. I also got a cease and desist from Nintendo. It was very kind. They weren’t coming after anybody. I’m not the first guy to have the Triforce.”
Cody Rhodes is currently involved in a feud with Gunther on Friday Night SmackDown, and all signs are pointing toward Gunther vs. Cody match for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash In Italy later this month.
Stay tuned for updates.
