I saw this Octotok at a local store between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I wanted it so bad but it was 40 bucks. Might go back and get it anyway (i.imgur.com)

I hadn't seen one of these in years, then my wife and I played BotW.

My first thought was that whoever named this thing an 'octorock' missed a golden opportunity by not calling it... a rocktopus.

That name goes back to original LoZ, can't change it now. Lots of Zelda creatures were introduced then, it had impressive diversity for a NES game. Molblin, Zoras, Darknuts, Lynels, Like-Likes, Wizzrobes, Peahats, WallMasters, Gohma, Dodongo...

Some had weird names directly taken from Japanese, and some had weird names from localization (...Manhandla?)

Oh I remember them from back then, I just also can't resist a good pun.

I know I’ve seen the same thing at Target for $30, just depends on if they have it in stock.

Same here, pops up at Targets in the PNW pretty regularly.

I can't see myself paying that much for a simple plush toy, but it is pretty cute though. eBay has it 10 bucks cheaper if you don't want to go back.

Is that the Minish Cap version? Nice to see that game getting merch.

[–] cities 1 points 2 years ago

it looks to me like the original version from Zelda 1 and the minish cap version

I'd like a blue one.
