Thanks to a preview from Nintendo World Report, another round of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes details are available. We’ve rounded up the various information below.
– About a kingdom that is obsessed with fashion
– Kingdom of Hytopia is mostly known for their princess Styla
– Styla loves outfits and stylish looks from all manner of places, and she was adored by many
– A cursed gift from an evil witch made her wear a leotard, which she can’t remove by hand
– The king of the land, King Tuft, is desperate and sents out a call for heroes to come to aid
– Take on the role of one of the new legendary Totem Heroes
– Stop the witch and free the princess from her magic
– Not many cutscenes, outside of a cute opening cinematic
– Not really a reason given why there are three people that look like Link walking about
– Give your character his own name
– Travel to different worlds
– These include Woodlands, Riverside, Volcano, Ice Cavern and Fortress
– Each of the lands has four missions for you to tackle with various items and puzzles playing an essential part
– Players are given an item at the start of a level
– Ranges from a bow to bombs, from a Gust Jar to a Magic Hammer
– As long as the object hasn’t been picked up yet, every player can choose the role they want to fulfill
– Hit enemies and switches in the distance with the bow
– Use the Fire Gloves to melt pillars of ice
– Exploration can’t solely be done with items or fighting enemies with your standard sword
– Work with the group to finish the game
– Need a totem to beat certain enemies or reach obstacles that seem too high to get to
– Margoma fight in the Woodlands is one example of this
– This spinning wheel of doom will hide its eye on top, hidden from the players
– Throw bombs up there to have his eye revealed, which you slash with your sword
– In the second phase, his eye will hop about and here the player with the bow will have to hunt it down
– Strike him to stun him and execute more direct attacks
– Special powers from costumes
– Some costumes enhance the powers of certain items
– Kokiri Clothes allow you to shoot three arrows at once
– Torrent Robe gives you the ability to create water towers, so that you can access more areas in the Riverside area
– Get stat boosts or a specific item from some costumes
– Legendary Dress: more hearts all across the stage
– Timeless Tunic changes all of the music into 8-bit tunes and sound effects
– Not all of the costumes will be easy to obtain
– Need materials to create outfits
– Get these by finishing the levels, where each character selects a material box for you to keep
– One in three boxes will usually net you a rare material, but you never know what you will get
– Store in the hub town sells new items daily
– Earn Rupees by clearing stages or selling unwanted items in the shop
– Daily chance game
– This can give you quick access to an item
– In this game, there are four boxes, with one of them containing an item, the rest contain “Freebies”, low-value dud prizes that can be sold back
– If you don’t get the item that try, you can open another chest on the next day, once per day until you get the item
– Once you’ve collected the main prize, the puzzle resets on the next day
– Freebies eventually grant access to a Dapper Spinner Kit
– This handy attire lets you do Spin Attacks incredibly fast
– Takes a long time to earn every costume
– Every level in the game has three Bonus Challenges to uncover and complete
– Complete stages with fewer time or hearts, without a sword or in complete darkness
– Some challenges where you have to stay close to an orb or move swiftly out a Wallmaster’s way
– When using Download Play, there will be Extra Data added to their SD card
– With this, any materials that they collect will be saved for later sessions or if they decide the purchase their own copy of the game
– Within the limits of the Download Play session, you can already earn two new costumes
– Randomly search for people, search or start a friend lobby or use a combo of both for online sessions
– Fairies, which are your lives, can be used up to skip parts of levels
– Another boss: Blizzagia, an evil reptile that you have to beat down with Fire Gloves and Magic Hammers
– The camera is placed behind the player here
