There is also some footage to be seen of Felix (another of our equally-wonderful video chaps) attending a midnight launch in Denmark \u2014 that&#8217;s two launches for the price of one! So, if you weren&#8217;t able to make a launch event, make yourself comfortable, grab a hot beverage, and watch the next-best thing (if you can put down Tears of the Kingdom for long enough, that is).<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/zelda\/related-articles:148637 @ 2023-05-13T07:44:10+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Did you manage to attend a TOTK midnight launch?
