Review The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
Tri-al and error
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is a remarkably segmented and potentially divisive game from Nintendo. It attempts a similar trick to Four Swords Adventures but, with its totem mechanic and implementation, doesn't accommodate both solo and group players in canny ways; as a result this is a multiplayer game with single player...

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is now less than a month away, but there's certainly a perception that it's struggling to generate the usual Zelda hype levels.

About The Game
A Legendary Team
In the visual style of the critically-acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds game comes a new adventure. In this journey, three players team up– each as Link – to cooperatively make their way through inventive dungeons and battle bosses.

This looks interesting, would have preferred Four Swords Adventure though
Looks like a spiritual successor to 4Swords. I'll take it!
The only thing about this game that worries me is the "dress up" aspect. If it is just a matter of acquiring outfits to gain abilities then OK. That is no different than acquiring new items or armor. However, if it ends up being a big fashion mini game that detracts from the quest then I will be miffed.
This was the one new announcement that got me excited. Want to know a bit more though before I commit.
Looks great so far. I'm quite excited for it.
I'll end up getting it. It's Zelda.
Is that right? You can use download play with this game?
Just played the demo using online play, and I gotta say it's pretty fun. Looking forward to the release and trying it on one player. I was worried that I wouldn't like the game because I don't have anyone to play with but online play negates that feeling. Next week is going to be awesome.
I really didnt think I would like this game but after playing the demo found it to be a rockin goodtime. the online was alot of fun. Im not going to pick up right away but will at some point
I am happy about the 3 players part XD I love to play games with people so much fun.
This is only £19 on Amazon at the moment (as is Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros). I took a chance in the hope that it'll keep the wife and I entertained for a couple of weeks.
Man, this game was really fun online. Too bad most people who play it have bad internet connection.
If anyone is still playing, please add me as a friend so we can play together?
I had such a great time with this game, but it's really hard to find people online now
