More On: The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes

The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes was one of Nintendo's best surprises at E3 this year. Now it looks like the new Zelda adventure will drop on October 23rd. This game is a first for the Zelda series as it allows for both local and online co-op between three players as they tackle dungeons and bosses together. While the Zelda Four Swords spinoff has previously focused on co-op play, this is the first time it's been included in a more traditional adventure format and allowed online play.

The release date is good news for me as both my brother and sister have birthdays in October, and as luck would have it they are both huge Zelda fans. I remember getting them both Phantom Hourglass many years ago so I'm glad I can continue the Zelda gift-giving tradition.

The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo??s most storied and beloved franchises, selling more than 30 million games in the U.S. alone. In The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, up to three players play as Link, with each hero selecting a different outfit equipped with a special boost or ability.

The game can also be played solo, allowing one player to rent two paper dolls to take along to complete the legendary team of three.
