Nintendo Today quiz error flagged during Zelda 40th anniversary activities
Nintendo's official Nintendo Today app briefly featured a quiz error tied to its ongoing The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary activities.
As part of the anniversary programming around The Legend of Zelda — a series that debuted in 1986 — the app has been distributing daily virtual trading cards and running short quizzes themed to Zelda titles, including a Breath of the Wild pack question that misrecorded an answer on September 16.
What happened: Bokoblin Mask question marked incorrect
On September 16, a quiz question asking what occurs when Link approaches a group of Bokoblins while wearing the Bokoblin Mask presented two valid answer options.
Both options described behaviors that occur in Breath of the Wild — Bokoblins both surround Link and treat him as one of their own when he is disguised — but the Nintendo Today app marked only one of those choices as correct.
Users who selected the other, equally valid option received an incorrect result and could miss out on an in-app medal tied to the quiz.
Sources and reporting
Gaming Reinvented first highlighted the inconsistency, and Nintendo Life published coverage and a screenshot of the app screen.
The report prompted an in-app acknowledgement from Nintendo.
Official response rewritten in journalistic language
Nintendo acknowledged the error within the Nintendo Today app, stating that the Breath of the Wild quiz contained a mistake: the option indicating that Bokoblins 'surround him' should have been recorded as correct but was displayed as incorrect.
Nintendo also said it regretted any inconvenience caused and confirmed it would post an update once its response had been finalized.
Impact and current status
The issue affected only the specific Bokoblin Mask question in the Breath of the Wild pack; the quiz system otherwise continued running and users could still access the daily content, including trading cards and additional quizzes.
The Nintendo Today app remains available through Nintendo platforms associated with account features and linked Nintendo services.
For readers tracking Nintendo communications: this is a documented correction inside the Nintendo Today app tied to Zelda 40th anniversary offerings.
Nintendo has indicated it will provide further information when its response is complete.
