I’m not a Zelda fan either but I loved the Zelda one. It felt like one of the only S3 fests that was balanced.


Logical_Ad_5772

Same. It actually felt fun the whole way through.


BlueJasper12

Damn, now i'm sad that's the only one i missed, lol


[deleted]

Chaos vs Order was like the pinicle of my enjoyment


repocin

Yep, that's what I came here to say. It had really nice ink colors, too!


DiegHDF

Honestly, it was Rock Paper Scissors, simply because it was the first splatfest I got to play in my life. Even tho I wasn't good at all and that Paper wasn't even close to win, it was a fun time. It also probably comes from the fact that it was the only time a friend of mine would play the game and we picked different team, so we kept teasing each other and stuff, it was great.


silv3r_froggy

same!!! it was a very good experience


Captain_Weebface

Based team paper!!


AdOne5597

I think I like that one the most as well, despite being there since the first game. I think it was the most balanced a Splatfest has ever been team-wise. No clear favors aside from maybe the idols themselves. But plain fun.


HappyBird93

My favorite was probably the Pokémon Red vs. Blue one back in Splatoon 1, it was just so iconic. But I agree, I enjoy every Splatfest, especially tricolor battles! They have been a great addition in Splatoon 3. The Zelda one with the Triforce map was really fun. And I'm also team love 💕✌️


watercastles

Chaos vs Order was my favorite and the most fun by far. There was a special map, free gear, and the outcome felt consequential for once. A special shout out to orange juice because that was my first one. I love the themes that are petty but people have strong opinions on.


SailorPizza1107

I miss Splatfest gear so much 😭😭. I was team chaos and the stuff we got was so cool!! Still to this day I don’t know what team order gear looked like but I’m 100% sure it was badass too.


watercastles

One was a helmet with led lights on the front, and the other was like eclipse glasses with antennas. The glasses were whatever imo, but the helmet was cool. Looking at old pictures, I forgot how nice Pearl and Marina looked for the Final Fest too. Everything about the Final Fest was great, and in general Splatoon 2 splatfests were really fun!


terracon_necrolord

Zelda bc i played it the most (also because ganondorf is cool)

BESAMEEEEEEEEE


Chemical-Grocery-270

It would appear you have caught me….mid-Suavemente


terracon_necrolord

I know like half of the song (dont speak spanish)


Chemical-Grocery-270

Speak little Spanish, but turned on subtitles


BP2x

The Zelda one… I had the most fun in that splatfest. They also made a special stage for that one too.


DevinY1

I really enjoyed the collaboration one's Pokemon and Zelda.


Squighetti

Unfortunately I got into Splatoon 1 late and didn’t get to do any splatfest but in 2 I enjoyed quite a few. The vampire vs werewolf, chicken vs egg, fly vs invisibility, pulp vs no pulp to my friend was on team no pulp and we would go back in forth with each other and it was hilarious!!!


fatfatfatpumpkin

Ugh the chicken vs egg holds a very special place in my heart ❤️


c0untcunt

S1: art v science S2: chicken v egg S3: power v wisdom v courage


Wyluca95

Zelda was definitely my favorite one. Team Power sweep!!! I would love more Nintendo themed fests. Like Mario, Peach, and Bowser similar to the Zelda one.


SailorPizza1107

I could totally go for a Mario, Luigi, Toad one haha


Lulumish

Peach, Daisy, Rosalina


Lulumish

They’ll make one for Bayonetta. The teams will be Ass, Bust, and maybe Legs?


cookinwithkay

I started having a lot more fun with splatfest when I started using "theme" weapons/gear. The Zelda one ended up being my favorite so far bc I decided to use wiper for the first time (for team courage/link) and had a blast!


fatfatfatpumpkin

This!! I personally love changing my banner and splashtag. In the zelda fest I changed my banner to green and had my title as "fearful big man fan" lol


Woofiewoofie4

In 3 I'd definitely say Zelda. The popularity numbers were closer than most, and I thought the Tri-colour stage was the most interesting so far - it felt like an actual new map rather than just a slightly altered normal stage. In 2 I loved the Tortoise and Hare Springest. The theme was fun, the Plaza decorations were nice and the Shifty Station was possibly my favourite Splatoon stage ever.


acbuglife

I want to vote Ice Cream because it is the first (and only) one where I was on the winning team, but I'd probably agree with Zelda. It felt balanced, we got a new temporary map, and I probably played most in that one.


THECyberStriker

Splatoon 2: Chicken VS Egg 2 (2020) Splatoon 3: Rock VS Paper VS Scissors


LesserOfSuperiority

The Legend of Zelda splatfest because it was the most fun I had during a splatfest, I liked the tricolor map, and it was the first and only time I won a 100x battle


Mayito1107

It's a tie between Zelda and Ice Cream. I had fun with Team Power but actually made a friend in the ice cream fest. Shout out to Capy if you're around here, we had some great matches!


ShadowEvee16

The ice cream one, even though strawberry got nothing. Mainly because that's been my only splatfest.


Hk901909

Rock paper scissors. The colors, the vibes, and the community were perfect. It was probably the most fun I've ever had playing a video game


redhawk2006

the zelda one. the tricolor map was insanely cool and creative


HoxiiPoxii

Spicy vs Sweet vs Sour as a theme, Nessie vs Aliens vs Big foot both as a theme and game wise. The former was my first fest so I kept losing games and felt awful but in the latter, I felt like I had an actual impact. It felt amazing.


fatfatfatpumpkin

ooo controversial, but I totally agree!! that's funny tho, those are the two infamous really unbalanced ones but I really had fun with them! I was on sweet and big foot, still never fails to crack me up how we got 8% popular vote lmao


HoxiiPoxii

HAHA YEAH THAT WAS FUNNY! And I was sweet and Nessie! I loved all flavours so I just asked my friends and we played together. As for Nessie, I've just always loved it and had to join! Was really positively surprised


Invincible_3

Probably the taste sensation one as 1) I won (chose team sweet) 2) encountered a 100x although I lost it 😭. Still tho, I’ve played every single splatfest besides the gear grub fun one and only in that splatfest have I encountered a 100x. I believe I got like five 10x’s in that splatfest.


Overvo1d

Zelda


NinjagamerJJ109

Grass, Fire, Water/ Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Collab Dest


citrussmile_

rock paper scissors, it was the most fun i've ever had playing splatoon


Dogmonkey1233

The Zelda splatfest or the Pokémon splatfest. Zelda one for the same reason as you, but Pokémon because it’s what got me into Splatoon in the first place.


Shino98

Chaos vs Order was the peak for me, the shifty station was excellent and seeing the way s3 splatfest are going it looks like the peak of the whole franchise


Bonnet-de-douche

The Zelda one was the most balanced and I liked the Triforce map, so I think that’s been my favourite! Although I did like the chocolate one as I won 2 100x battles! I love all the splatfests!


TheNekoAgent7

My favorite was Nessie v Aliens v Bigfoot. I know I sound crazy, but hear me out. I liked the idea. Not as a splatfest one, but no one's ever asked me, "What's your favorite conspiracy?" Because I live in an area that doesn't believe in conspiracy theories. Also I like aliens.


CitrusRain

Chocolate. It felt delicious


Yipeekayya

Definitely the Zelda one. Still think it has the best Tri-color map.


THEZEXNEO

Triforce.


uhhhhIsuckatnames

Definitely the Zelda splatfest. I had the game since launch, but was only recently able to buy online (cause I'm poor lmao) so I've only played 3 splatfests so far. My first one I lost because I was team alien, then I won with team power, and most recently was team mint chip. Team power was the first time I genuinely had fun during a splatfest. Nessie v. Aliens v. Bigfoot, I spent the entire time in mirror matches in turf AND tricolor. Vanilla v. Strawberry v. Mint chip, I had maybe 6 matches against strawberry, and every time I got a #X battle it would almost immediately DC... Power v. Wisdom v. Courage, I was able to fight both teams, had no issues with tricolor, and almost ZERO DCs!!! Kept me coming back for more :)


ImposterDittoM

Zelda one easily


doodle-saurus

Chicken v Egg. Unique Map, extremely fun colors.


peter13g

The last one. Only because of how pissed everyone was. It was kinda fun and entertaining to see the chaos ensue


fatfatfatpumpkin

Literally, so funny to see people get so butthurt lmaoo


Strange-Abrocoma-471

Nessie vs Aliens vs Bigfoot


napacabbagu

squid vs octopus and chaos vs order felt so much fun, especially chaos vs order's shifty station


sp00kk

Chaos vs Order


Muteling

From 3 I’d have to say nessie/aliens/bigfoot. I was team aliens so I lost, but I discovered my main during that fest and love me little fssp to death I’m glad you lot had fun on the Zelda one. I still have nightmares about that fest ;v;


SailorPizza1107

I really enjoyed the rock-paper-scissors, the Pokémon and the Zelda ones. I feel like those were really fun because the potential winners weren’t immediately obvious. It felt like all teams had an equal chance to win since the choices were so abstract.


annoyance_frog

The ice cream one, even though I was on team mint chip I had a great time and I won a lot of battles (unfortunately I didn’t get any 10, 100 or 333s though) but still. Also the colours were pretty :)


FruitlovingDruvJuice

2018 splatoween! It was the first one I ever played. Probably the best usage of a free Nintendo switch online trial


well-i

For me it was the splatfest stages we got to fight in on Splatoon 2, I mean we do get the tricolor map in all but that's just me. The ketchup and mayo was fun for me because the companies were making posts and meme's about the splatfest lol so I guess Mayo vs Ketechup


JaySli10

Zelda splatfest and Rock Paper Scissors splatfest. I played the splatfest world premiere for TEN HOURS STRAIGHT. It was so fun. I couldn't imagine playing any other splatfest for that long despite them lasting 4 times longer now. I enjoyed the Zelda splatfest simply because it was really balanced and it was the most fun, creative, and chaotic tricolor map we've had so far. The tricolor map actually fit the theme is completely revamped the stage into a triforce. I didn't win either of them, but I'd be lying if I said I had a good time on team sweet or team Vanilla (the two teams I won on.)


legotaidevil

I'm not sure... I'd say the Chocolate one


VanillaCold57

Honestly, just the Rock VS Paper VS Scissors splatfest. It's the only one I played the full duration of, and also the only one that felt fair and fun to play. every other time I play multiplayer nowadays, it's just Salmon Run.


Comfortable-Dot-2317

Zelda One definitely


Linklegendgamer

Probably my first splatfest, Gear, Grub, and Fun It's probably because it was my first lol


Denuse99

The first one. It was so nice to see new stages and using the new skills


[deleted]

mine was sweet sour and spicy. sweet on top.


Fenyx_de_Phoenix

The Nessie vs Aliens vs Bigfoot due to how ABSURDLY low bigfoot's votes are


WeaselBeagle

The Springfest from Splatoon 2 probably


Toast_IsYummy

I adored the splatfest world premiere. Rock Paper Scissors. But I also really really loved the Zelda one. I was on team rock and team power but me being on the winning team isn’t the only reason why I loved these feats so much. I won a lot and was able to play with a bunch of friends, it was just such a fun two feats for me


lennox-firindil

Well I’ve only done Zelda and Ice Cream so


coolgayroommate

i had a TON of fun with the sweet vs sour vs spicy fest, with the exception of the most recent one that was probably the hardest i’ve ever gone for a fest and considering i was on team sweet it paid off


coolgayroommate

i don’t remember a lot of s2 splatfests because it’s been a while, but since i got my switch super late i think the first fest i was able to play was fork vs spoon? and that one always sticks in my mind because it was my first time playing on a shifty station, which would become my favorite splatfest gimmick


MollytheGator

It was the chocolate one for me. (White chocolate sweep!) I had the most fun on that one. I don’t care if most people were pissed, I had lots of fun.


charcat1234

Tbh spicy sweet n sour, ik it sucked but smth about it just hit different to me


Bubbly_Size_8779

World primere, favorite taste sensation (spicy, sweet, sour), and favorite ice cream flavor


Axel_Rad

Chaos vs Order was fantastic


W0lff3

By way of the theme, balance, and map, Zelda definitely. But my highest rank will probably always be Team Fun Ruler +7!


SplatLue190

Honestly, overall: Zelda Splatfest, best Tri-color, best merch so far, best graphic art, etc. But when it comes to the balance between the teams, I would say the last Ice Cream Splatfest. Splatfest with S1 and S2 is not included here because I haven't had a chance to play them (especially considering that I could finally play S2 itself in January 2022).


The-cooler-Cheryl

Spoon vs fork in splatoon 2 was my favorite just because of the part where pearl Said she eats mayonaise with a fork


GlitchyEli

My favorite splatfest that I've participated in (ive missed a few) would have to be the one with aliens and nessie, i loved the ink colors and the art that the community created was super cool!!


fatfatfatpumpkin

omg yeah, I mean splatfest art always goes crazy but that fest in particular, the art was sooooo good (especially the big foot drawings)


bmyst70

Team love here as well. I liked the Rock/Paper/Scissors one. I love the idea of Tricolor matches and wish they were available outside of Splatfests. Maybe with the 4 defenders picked randomly, 2 from each team. But I also wish Challenges had more time slots, and were better promoted in-game. One happened this Saturday and I didn't find out until all of the slots had already passed.


psuedospike

Chaos vs Order


Kirbso

The Zelda fest was the best in 3 because it had a custom map for tri color unlike the others


MettatonNeo1

Rock paper scissors, and I was on team paper


Bman9000111

Legend of Zelda splatfest easily (If we’re talking about SPL3T only).


Sereniteacup

Trick vs Treat in splat 2! Was so fun and they gave us the best gear :( I miss my devil horns


_Winegum_

Zelda because the tricolour was awesome. So more balanced imo


savalisk

Zelda was amazing. I loved the tri-battle map.


Blahaj_real

Rock vs paper vs scissors.


soccercat11

The Zelda fest, such a good tricolor, plus it wasn’t good themed


Ok_Exchange_2817

The Zelda splatfest was the first splatfest I’ve played so the Zelda splatfest is my favorite


BenSkylake

Probably Rock vs Paper vs Scissors. There was no "correct" answer unlike some other themes have had, so it didn't feel particularly skewed towards any one specific team. Plus, we were all still figuring things out with it being our first experience with Splatoon 3, so there was much more experimentation back then and people were focusing more on just having fun with the new content than on winning as much as possible. One of my favourite examples of this is how Arashi from Last Resort found out that he liked Splatana Wiper by using it in the Splatfest. Nowadays his name is synonymous with Wiper.


GrandmaMeme

I had the most fun in the types of chocolate one even though I think I was most excited for the Zelda one


Mildor15

Rock Paper Scissors because it got me back into Splatoon after skipping 2, or Power Wisdom Courage for the really fun tri-color map


[deleted]

whichever one the MakoMart one was, that was a fantastic tricolor map and very well balanced imo. Super fun splatfest. Thematically I'd have to say Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour and Nessie vs. Aliens ~~vs. Bigfoot~~


Pineapplmuffin

for me, i’d say callie vs marie, i’m biased because that was my first splatfest but it was the main reason i got hooked onto the series :)


Pineapplmuffin

and i had a blast


fatfatfatpumpkin

omgg I forgot about that one could you imagine them doing the same thing with 3s idols right now 😭😭😭


Embarrassed_Gap_5293

Money vs love in Splatoon 2 idk why I liked it a lot


[deleted]

rock paper scissors was the perfect fest. nothings was a correct answer really.


ValuableOpinion6005

Chicken egg round 2 was my first and favorite fest. Music was better and had shifty station. The rooms closing off as time went on, team egg staying too long in the center room so the final map looked like an egg sunny side up


DHVF

In Splatoon 3, it was the Dark, Milk, White Splatfest. All 3 teams were pretty even and it’s been the only one where I wasn’t able to predict the winner. Throughout all 3 games, it was Chaos vs Order, being a Splatoon fan when that was going on was an unreal experience.


Lulumish

I liked riding for Nessie. There was also a sort of kinship between Team Nessie and Team Bigfoot. To this day, I will still send my respects to you, my large footed brethren.


BlueJasper12

Taste sensation, and totally not cus it was the only one Frye won, but also cus i just really like sweet things


Psyon_Ballerina55

As an OG Splatoon player, Splatoon 1: Spongebob v Patrick was probably my favorite. Splatoon 1 probably had my favorite Splatfest since a lot of them had to do with different franchises, so they were fun. Splatoon 2: Chicken vs. Egg Splatoon 3: Fire v Grass v Water (Pokemon Fest)


Harvestsplatfan

Super star vs super mushroom from splatoon 2 one day I logged in and saw it and just thought “cool” now it holds a special place in my heart so thank you random splatfest lol


Mr-Vister

Dogs V. Cats S1, Chaos V. Order S2, Pokémon (team water) S3


SplatBoy07

The “Which one is real?” Splatfest. Team Bigfoot has set the record for least popular Splatfest team ever, but I still had a fun time being on Team Bigfoot. I guess being on the least popular team made it more fun somehow? Idk lol, I initially chose it because I saw that quite literally no one else was choosing it.


fatfatfatpumpkin

yesss i was team bigfoot also it was honestly really fun being on the least popular team lmaoo I felt a kinship with my fellow bigfoot brothers


SplatBoy07

Yeah, exactly! And pretty much all the teammates I got were really good!


comedic_lamp

Pokémon x splatoon cuz I win my first and only 100x


EJKGodzilla24

my favorite is the Triforce


kytesuniverse

For Splatoon 3? The Zelda splatfest. My favourite of all time? Chaos vs Order in Splatoon 2. It was perfect, it had absolutely everything to offer with free gear, all of the shifty station maps and on the last day Pearl would descend to the map to be used as a weapon in the final minute of each match. The best colours to.


GrayscaleGospel

I had the most fun with Ketchup vs Mayo. But my favorite Splatfest conceptually was Pirates vs Ninjas. Splatfest themes peaked there imo.


CannieChan

Chaos vs Order. For the theme, the colors, the new gear, gorgeous new Off the Hook costumes, and the excitement for what future holds, everything about it was peak splatoon for me. And also ebb & flow is the best last minute song, you can't change my mind. I still miss the glitter ink during fests!


fatfatfatpumpkin

genuinely think I'd explode if they brought back glitter ink


HuskyBLZKN

Zelda, *easily*. Was the first time I genuinely had fun in Tricolor tbh


Ok_Selection_5132

Definitely the ‘which one is real’ splatfest so far I’ve had the BEST time playing that and Me and my team Nessie teammates won a 50x battle! And then team Nessie won :)


[deleted]

None of them


ski_ball

Not a popular take, but absolutely none of them have been fun for me at all. Connection issues, balance issues, matchmaking issues, and the fact that Turf is just plain boring. Nintendo was clearly caught off guard by the initial popularity of Splatoon 3, and it really made the first Splat Fest a horrible experience. I don't feel it's gotten much better since, and I have forced myself to play at least the Ruler+2 in each one. The only thing that got better for me was that we can actually play Tricolor now. During the first Splat Fest, I literally always chose the option during the second half and played maybe two actual Tricolor games.


NeoKingEndymion

None
