As E3 quickly approaches, Nintendo has outlined their plans for the event in a press release.
To kick off the activities, Nintendo will run a campaign on Twitter starting today, which will unlock Miitomo in-app items. The promotion will involve a specific tweet (seen below) and will reward players on the number of retweets.

If the tweet gets a combined 10,000 retweets worldwide, Nintendo will issue a “Link’s new hair wig” as an in-app gift to all users of Nintendo’s Miitomo mobile app. If it gets 20,000 combined retweets, Nintendo will give all Miitomo users a “Link wig” in the Miitomo app.
On June 14, Miitomo users will also have access to a The Legend of Zelda–themed Miitomo Drop game for the opportunity to win more swag. Also, from June 14 til June 21, Nintendo will offer discounts for some of its “most popular games” in the Nintendo eShop. My Nintendo users will get a “special bonus” for buying “select games included in the sale.”
The company also released a beautiful piece of artwork from the next installment of the Legend of Zelda series.
The upcoming Legend of Zelda game was recently delayed til 2017. Previously a Wii U exclusive title, the game was announced to have a simultaneous release on both Wii U and NX, Nintendo’s future console.
