WWE Star CODY RHODES Hit With Nintendo CEASE & DESIST Over Zelda Boots!

Cody Rhodes got slapped with a Nintendo cease-and-desist over his Zelda boots -- the WWE champ thought throwing the Triforce on his ring gear was a harmless fanboy flex until Big N's lawyers sent the polite but firm "take it off" letter and he yanked the design faster than a botched elbow drop. Yeah the guy who tattoos the symbol on his finger still gets to keep that one, but the boots had to go because Nintendo doesn't play when it comes to protecting their sacred triangles -- classic corporate IP hammer on a wrestler who just wanted to live his Link fantasy in front of 20,000 screaming marks.
