- I went into this game thinking I was going to completely dislike it, and in the end enjoyed my time with it. It may be a bit overly simplistic at times when traditional Zelda fans come into it, and the single player can be a bit boring with micromanaging each Link, but if players can find some friends to play either online or locally, there’s some great fun to be had, especially if you allow the crafting bug to bite you.
Drew Leachman · Nov 17, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - If you're looking for a substantial solo Zelda experience with narrative and deep progression, Tri Force Heroes is not that game. If you just enjoy Zelda puzzles a lot, or enjoy multiplayer twists on familiar formula, it's an easy recommendation. Just be sure to understand what you're going in for before you pick this up.
Alex Donaldson · Nov 16, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is a game that’s far better than its shackles allow it to be. Even as hampered as it is by online chicanery and distinctly “Nintendo” hassles, it’s still a great deal of fun and one of the best handheld online adventures you could undertake. It just requires some patience to get working, with a reward that’s well worth it.
Jim Sterling · Nov 02, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is an enjoyable multiplayer Zelda experience, but one that has trouble holding up too well over the long haul. Single player is a bit of a disaster, offering little more than tedium and frustration, so if you don't have some friends to play with you might want to avoid this game.
Kyle Hanson · Oct 31, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The single-player might be infuriating and the online might have its connection and communication issues, but considering local multiplayer as the ideal way to play Tri Force Heroes, the game is fantastic. The co-op gameplay on display in this light-hearted Zelda adventure is ingenious and clever. Even if you have to move Death Mountain to get a group together in one location, Tri Force Heroes is worth playing.
Neal Ronaghan · Oct 29, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Triforce Heroes is a fantastic Zelda experience that combines the hectic nature of Super Mario Bros. U’s multiplayer with the teamwork based gameplay of the original Four Swords games. The result is an undeniably fun game that still feels like a full Zelda package.
Danny Saya · Oct 28, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - In the end, Nintendo’s multiplayer-centric, multiplayer-favoring mechanics offer just enough neat ideas and well-implemented level design to keep you invested. I mean…come on, you can have Link wear a dress for Christ’s sake. It’s a silly game with an equally-silly concept, but Nintendo somehow does just enough to make it work, if not excel.
Jordan Helm · Oct 28, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Even for a multiplayer spin-off, Tri Force Heroes just doesn’t offer enough to justify its price tag, and it absolutely shouldn’t be played alone. If you’re a stalwart fan with a pair of dedicated friends, you will likely have a pleasant time with the game’s puzzles and combat, but it’s hard to recommend this game to anyone that hasn’t already sought the Triforce for a much more admirable purpose.
Brandon Jones · Oct 26, 2015 Reviewed on 3DS - Most importantly, you want a real reason to keep returning to the game and not just a prospect of a pretty new look for the Link-alike. As is, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes feels like something you play, beat, then only return to if you're certain two people you know genuinely need aid to acquire necessary materials.
Jenni Lada · Oct 26, 2015 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - 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.
