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!
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!
