They’re not afraid to take chances with their beloved franchises, and seeing Zelda be one of those risks usually scares me. When I first saw Tri Force Heroes, I wrote it off completely. “Another multiplayer Zelda game I don’t care about.” I said to myself. Then I played it. Then I played some more. Now I realize that while not what I was looking for, it works and works well for what it does, and once again proves to me that Nintendo has still got some decent tricks up their sleeves.
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.
