The tone of Tri Force Heroes is a lot more whimsical than most Zelda games. The music is also dynamic, so instruments will change depending on certain situations, like adding players to a Totem. The soundtrack in Tri Force Heroes has an almost Celtic quality that makes it stand out from other Zelda entries. I know, you probably could have guessed that the music in a Zelda game is good, but I’m going to tell you how great it is anyway. Also, it adds value to repeating levels, since it can help you earn more materials. It’s fun to make new costumes, and they all look great and offer helpful benefits. Another store lets you play a guessing game every day, with your odds of winning a crafting material increase with each try. You can also buy items from a shop in the game’s town, with the stock refreshing every day. Two will hold common materials, while one will have a rarer one. After beating a stage, three chests appear, and each player gets to open one. It’s important to equip appropriate costumes for the right levels.Ĭreating the outfits requires materials, which you earn at the end of each level. One will let you shoot beams out of your sword at full health, one will let you walk on ice without slipping, and others make specific weapons more powerful. Fashion is the main theme of the game, and players can create and wear a variety of different costumes, each with different effects. Success in Tri Force Heroes often depends just as much on your preparation as it does on your skills. Those using download play still get to keep the materials and costumes they unlock between sessions, too. The Fire Gloves, meanwhile, let you throw a bouncing fireball (while playing a familiar sound effect).Ĭonnecting with friends is thankfully made easier since you only need one cartridge for three 3DS owners.

The Water Rod creates a pillar of - you guessed it - water that creates a platform to help you reach high places. While those are familiar items for Zelda players, Tri Force Heroes also has new toys. For example, someone might have to use a grappling hook to grab another player’s bomb. Players need to coordinate who gets what, and you’ll often need to use the weapons together. Sometimes, the available weapons are the same, but most of the time, they’re different.

Each player can grab one, and then they’re stuck with it for the rest of the level. At the beginning of each level, three of them appear on three pedestals.
