Critic Reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
A unique, challenging and sporadically delightful co-op game - but forget about the clumsy solo play.
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is more than just a fun co-op diversion from the large-scale solo adventures this series is known for. The challenging, intricate puzzles are great chaotic fun in local multiplayer or for a one-time run through in single-player. Limited communication tools make it difficult to play with adventurers online, but everywhere else it's a success.
A playful co-op experience that shines with mates, but isn't as precise or polished as a mainline Zelda.
It never settles into the replayable gameplay loop it clearly aspires to, but Tri Force Heroes offers some decent Zelda action
The newest installment in the storied franchise tries a lot of new things, but accomplishes only a few.
The newest Zelda can be a lot of fun under the right conditions, but it's more frustrating than not.
Nintendo had a fantastic idea with Tri Force Heroes, but the premise is underserved and undermined by some fundamental design issues and shaky online infrastructure. It's nothing short of a tragedy to wait a whole decade for another multiplayer Zelda and receive what feels like a largely unfinished idea with great potential.
Tri Force Heroes is not the Zelda we've come to expect and certainly not the experience we're all so agonizingly, painstakingly looking forward to seeing more of (whatever platform it'll be built for).
