"When I played Zelda: Triforce Heroes for the first time back at E3 in June, I absolutely adored the game. Playing as it is meant to be played, with two other players locally, was a blast. The three of us worked together extensively, planning each others’ moves, asking one another for progress updates, and trying to figure out how to defeat a dungeon boss together. As a personal, collaborative effort, Zelda: Triforce Heroes was spectacular. Unfortunately, the realities of gaming today simply cannot allow for a game that can only feasibly be played locally" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.
The average Zelda sequel is unique, creative, and emblematic of everything that makes the franchise so engrossing. Then there’s Tri Force Heroes.
They should have just given us Four Swords Adventures 2. They already had a winning formula for co op, not sure why they tried to change it.

With a port of Professor Layton confirmed for iOS platforms, we know Nintendo is willing to loosen their grip and let older titles breath new life. Here are the 10 Nintendo games we would like to see come to mobile platforms.
Nintendo's lack of voice chat is a real obstacle. They at the very least they could enable party chat so people can socialize with their online friends no matter what they're doing.
If they region-locked the game because of language barriers, that can be understandable.
Oh wait, they never planned to add voice chat in that game - my mistake. :)
But seriously, in this day and age where anyone can be anyone's friend in any place in the world, why doesn't Nintendo take advantage of that? I thought one of Nintendo's goals was to bring people together, but all this does is push people apart.
(But I did do something on Nintendo's online, that would've got them mad.)
Nintendo needs to wise up and get with the program. Drop these weak ass consoles, ridiculous infrastructure, and actually get onboard with basic features. They're stuck in 1999. Dreamcast had better online.
I'd suggest trying Smash, Mario Kart 8 or Splatoon - all of which have robust online features.
That's why you download Curse or Skype and run that on your laptop or phone and play your Nintendo game at the same time. It kinda sucks you have to resort to that, but there are usually alternatives there if you look for them.
