The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Reviews
Tri Force Heroes is a quirky new multiplayer adventure that gives players the first truly challenging Legend of Zelda title in ages.
Even with the focus on multiplayer, this is an adventure that is just as enjoyable for lone heroes, especially for those who fancy a challenge.
The series hasn't had many disappointments in its history (*cough*WanoGamlon*cough*... sorry, I meant to say The Wand of Gamelon) and Triforce Heroes certainly isn't one of them. It looks fantastic, it plays exactly how it should, and there's plenty of both material and challenges to keep playing for a long time. The Colosseum might be underwhelming, and the picture-taking stuff is basic, but the rest is damn fun. Now all I need are friends… *sniffle*
Triforce Heroes is a great time for Zelda fans and fans of multiplayer games alike.
As a single-player experience, Tri Force Heroes has its moments but playing through it solo is just a stark reminder of the game's multiplayer focus. At its best, single-player can be nice when you're trying to lock down a specific material for an outfit. But, if you're planning on getting Tri Force Heroes and playing it by your lonesome, I don't recommend it.
Tri Force Heroes is the breath of fresh air in a series that's somewhat stale. It's funny, it's fun, and it's not the same story of another Zelda cycle. You can play Zelda with friends near or far, what's not to love about that? If you have friends nearby or with strong internet connections, Tri Force Heroes may be the multiplayer Zelda experience you've always wanted.
The newest Zelda can be a lot of fun under the right conditions, but it's more frustrating than not.
It's such a shame that Tri Force Heroes falls as short as it does.
A unique, challenging and sporadically delightful co-op game - but forget about the clumsy solo play.
