There are 32 stages that take around 10 minutes to finish. If you don't have a three man crew, you'll have to cross your fingers and hope you get some adept partners. You'll find trolls (you can blacklist them), lag (it affects all players, not just the one on a crappy connection), and disconnectors (it ends the whole session). The emoji chat icons are cute, but "Over here!" and "Throw!" don't adequately explain the intricacies of a puzzle that requires a gust jar, a boomerang, a two-man totem and some smart timing. If you're playing with randoms online, it can be a different story. When three pals are playing in the same room, or communicating over Skype (there's no voice chat in the game) it feels great. You help each other out, figure out puzzles together, and then get together for a boss fight that really puts your skills and teamwork to the test.īut that's when things work out. When everyone is working together, and playing well, the game can be tremendous fun. In one boss fight, a giant worm chases one Link, allowing the others to sneak up and slash its tail.
Here, team work is essential, and all three players must be on the ball and doing their bit. Things really fall into place during the boss fights. To get to it, the three Links must stand on each other's shoulders in a big wobbly totem, and have the topmost Link fire an arrow at the switch. So what do you get when you finally find a three player team? A fun, lightweight series of Zelda-themed obstacle courses with groups of enemies that you can dispatch together, and simple puzzles that require some teamwork to solve.įor example, a switch might be up on a high ledge. Oh, and I should point that you can play solo, but it's such a soul-crushingly bad experience - slow and cumbersome and, at times, impossibly tough - that it shouldn't even exist. It should be easy to find a third wheel online, but it's a bummer for those who want to play in pairs. And download play means only one person needs to own the game when playing over a local network.īut the game also requires three human players, and won't fill the empty space with bots, or let one player control two Links like in Four Swords Adventures. You can now play online as well as locally. The shrinkage in Link's entourage isn't the only change in Tri Force Heroes. And goodbye to the friend who played as them! Tri me You see, Tri Force Heroes isn't the first time that The Legend of Zelda could be played cooperatively, as there were GameCube and GBA games that let four players, and four Links, team up.īut in the transition to 3DS, things have downsized a little.
Or was he just, like, that friend that all the other friends secretly disliked so they simply stopped texting him when a kidnapped princess called out for a nonspecific number of heroes? Whatever happened to Purple Link? Did he die?
