The stages themselves are tiny little levels, things that take generally no more than ten minutes to beat.
I’m fortunate enough to have a family of willing gamers, and 2 extra 3DS, so I used this option most, playing on the couch with my kids. You can play locally with others who own copies of the game, online with friends or strangers or through the magic of the 3DS’ download play. The game is designed (as its name suggests) to be played co-operatively with 2 other people. It also grants you access to the castle, from whence you’ll set off on your adventuring. There’s an overworld of sorts, but it’s really limited to a tiny village, offering you a merchant, a tailor and somewhere to look at other people’s photos. Your not-Link, and the world around him share the same sort of aesthetic as the excellent A Link Between Worlds, mashed up with a bit of the cuter look found in Wind Waker.
It’s a perfunctory sort of narrative that really only serves to get in the way of the action, and not as any sort of impetus to play the game. So you’ll play as a hero who matches that description somebody who isn’t, but fits the Link archetype – and it’s your job (along with two of your similarly prophesied heroes) to retrieve the right clothing to break the curse and give the princess back her sense of chic, and some lovely new, colourful clothes. Prophecy suggests that a hero a green-tunic’d, pointy-eared, yellow-haired boy will be key to solving this most taxing fashion faux pas. The region’s princess is cursed to forever wear the dullest and drabbest dubs, her ashen accoutrement bringing shame upon the royal family. It’s set in the fashion-centric world of the ironically-named Drablands, where high fashion and costumery and a sense of style are key. There’s a bit of a story here, though it’s only really there to pad out the emptiness.
Only you’ll need to do that with two others, co-operatively. Triforce heroes is an odd game, distilling Legend of Zelda and its dungeons to their most basic, simple puzzle solving. If you’re out to rekindle your love for Four Swords, then it’s not quite what you’re looking for either. If you’re looking for a grand, overarching, narrative-driven Legend of Zelda game – then Triforce Heroes is not what you’re looking for.
