The Legend of Zelda Tri Force Heroes Release Date
August 5, in the year of our Lord 2015 --
Nintendo 3DS owners looking to embark on a legendary adventure
will get their chance when The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
launches for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on Oct. 23. One
of Nintendo’s biggest critical hits at this summer’s E3 video
game trade show, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes lets up
to three players team up locally, via Download Play with one
game card or online using a wireless Internet connection to
cooperatively explore inventive dungeons and battle bosses.
The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s most storied
franchises, selling more than 30 million games in the U.S.
alone. In The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, up to three
players play as Link, with each hero selecting a different
outfit equipped with a special boost or ability. One outfit
might grant the wearer the ability to shoot arrows, for example,
while another could provide more life-saving hearts. A new Totem
mechanic allows three Link characters to stack on top of each
other to reach higher ground and solve puzzles. The game can
also be played solo, allowing one player to rent two paper dolls
to take along to complete the legendary team of three.
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is one of a few Nintendo
3DS games launching between now and the end of the year,
including Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (Christmas), Animal
Crossing: Happy Home Designer (Sept. 25), Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash
(Oct. 9) and YO-KAI WATCH (Christmas).
