"I hated Tri Force Heroes so much that I returned it to the store; in my mind, there’s nothing redeeming about this game. I don’t know how this cracked out pipe-dream of a game made it through play testing with all involved saying “this is great!” The story is a parody of all basic Zelda stories, and not in a good way, with some fairly troubling implications given the audience this was likely being aimed at. The gameplay is severely lacking, forcing a single part of classic LoZ design as the main gameplay element (i.e. puzzle solving) and doing a poor job of it. It’s even difficult to see exactly what you’re doing without the 3D or some serious adjustment to your in-game depth perception. Tri Force Heroes is a watered down, poor man’s LoZ that Nintendo has the gall to charge full price for and call a Zelda title."
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.
