Loot Ocarina of Time Boots from Drowned City in WoW: Forever
A pair of boots has been discovered in the Drowned City loot table, which appears to be a clear reference to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!

With Nintendo's recently released remaster of this iconic game for the Switch 2, it looks like Blizzard developers want to show some love for this game. According to our database, these boots can drop off of any boss within the new dungeon in WoW Forever: The Drowned City.
In The Legend of Zelda games, players acquire Iron Boots that allow players to walk at the bottom of bodies of water, but only walk slowly on land. According to this post on Reddit, when players equip these boots in WoW Forever, they'll mimic the same features!

I dropped these in the new dungeon, The Drowned City, and was so happy because my boots were like 20 levels outdated
I bought an enchant for them and went to the trainer to learn Mail
At first, I thought something was wrong with my keybindings, but then I noticed the text at the bottom
YOU CAN'T MOVE WHILE WEARING IT LMAO
You're permanently stuck RP walking
I was so frustrated but couldn't stop laughing LOL
Edit: YES, YOU CAN WALK UNDERWATER thats so cool hahah
This isn't the first reference to The Legend of Zelda in World of Warcraft, as the character Linken has existed since World of Warcraft's creation back in 2004. Players in Un'Goro Crater can unlock a series of quests by discovering It's a Secret to Everybody, leading players to get the powerful Linken's Sword of Mastery (the Master Sword!)
Fans of both Blizzard and Nintendo can appreciate seeing these cross-references, and the features Linken's Boots of Iron offer will surely make for some fun gameplay and discoveries in WoW: Forever. Who knows - we might even need them for a future secret!
