    Tri Force Heroes feels like it should be an additional mode for the rerelease of The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for the Wii U cause as an independent game even for the 3DS it does not work. It is a decent co op but it fails as a single player cause the two Link clones is mindless. It is this reason that causes it too have a very short replayable lifespan. Once Hyrule Heroes for the 3DS isTri Force Heroes feels like it should be an additional mode for the rerelease of The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for the Wii U cause as an independent game even for the 3DS it does not work.

Once Hyrule Heroes for the 3DS is released Triforce will be ignored and expect a price drop next year.… Expand

    I love the 4 swords series, and this game is the biggest let down. I would only recommend it for local 3 player game play. Anything else is garbage.

    Not the right stage? someone is quitting. disconnects end stage for all players. Someone losing obv in colisseum? they quit, cancelling the fight. Someone has infinitely better equipment? they will destroy you 9 out of 10 in    I love the 4 swords series, and this game is the biggest let down.

    disconnects end stage for all players.

    Someone losing obv in colisseum? they quit, cancelling the fight.

    Someone has infinitely better equipment? they will destroy you 9 out of 10 in coliseum.

    awkward puzzle mechanic makes you look like your griefing? someone quit.

    complicated puzzle? use 6 emojis to explain:
    hey there's a water flower down here.
    hey you two need to be on thst side of the balance beam, me and the statue balance the weight.
    everyone stay on the water at all times or we will lose.
    Hey totEm and stay where those hearts are, too many people getting hit for this boss.

    this could have been done 100000000 times better. Literally remaking 4 swords with random joining, no ending on quit would be perfect.

    The friendship teamwork garbage is also literally the OPPOSITE of successful 4 swords.

    That said, it's online link to the Past battling, something much desired for decade+.

    it's a must play for fans, but you will have a bad time if 2 friends don't also have it.    … Expand

    Back of the box says download play is 2-3 vs/co-op.
    Incorrect, there is no download play in vs, and you must have three for co-op.
    I should not have to check to see whether or not I can play with just two players when the back of the box says I can, but clearly I should have taken my phone out and looked it up.

    This game is just like the two Four Swords games: annoying, tedious, over-complex and familiar, plus the absolute worst villain and some awful multiplayer sections keep kicking this game in the boonies.

    With the poor art design and bad concept, I would give this game a 4 swords out of 10

    This game had SO MUCH potential, but the region lock and matchmaking based on the stage you're going to play kills it before you can even play it. I literally waited 1 hour for a match in 3 consecutive days, didn't get a SINGLE match. So unless you have friends that like Nintendo (which is rare) or can afford a 3ds (even rarer in my country) this game is useless piece of plastic.

    The game is NOT a mainline Zelda title, despite the name carrying "The Legend of-" infront of it.
    It's a mediocre-decent dungeon crawler that is many stepds down from Four Swords Adventures on the Gameucbe which could and should have been ported on the 3DS or Wii U instead of making this!
    Also it's pretty much unplayable alone. I give 1/10 for some efforts and the unique & cute clothes    The game is NOT a mainline Zelda title, despite the name carrying "The Legend of-" infront of it.

    Caters to hardcore Zelda fans who want to pass the time while waiting for the next full breed Zelda-entry: The Legend of Zelda WiiU. It has moments of fun puzzle experiences, but it requires you to have 1-2 good friends you can go on a local network.

    A hard game to dislike, but equally hard to love.

    Despite being a low budget game built with assets from A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes is a great Zelda designed for co-op. [13/2015, p.74]
