This is in contrast to most Nintendo games, including the upcoming Star Fox Zero, which will not have online multiplayer. The good news is that Triforce Heroes will have online functionality.

Details on this versus multiplayer mode remain scarce, but it will allow for one on one or three way battles. That being said, Triforce Heroes will allow just two players to play its competitive multiplayer offering, the Colosseum.

There must be a reason why a single AI partner can't fill in for the missing person if only two people wanted to play co-op, but Nintendo has yet to elaborate on that matter. What's strange is that the entire adventure can be played through solo through the use of AI partners that can be controlled directly with the touchscreen. Simply put, those wanting to enjoy the co-op aspects of Triforce Heroes need to have a full team of three players together in order to do so, according to the game's director Hiromasa Shikata. Most assumed that Triforce Heroes would allow just two players to play in co-op as well, but as it turns out, that is not the case. The game features a very similar art style to the popular A Link Between Worlds, but instead of being another solo adventure for Link, it focuses on cooperative gameplay for up to three players. Whereas Hyrule Warriors Legends was leaked prior to Nintendo's E3 2015 showcase, The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes came as a complete surprise to everyone. However, Nintendo still had a couple of Zelda surprises on hand for E3 attendees in the form of two new 3DS games, Hyrule Warriors Legends and The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes. After all, it was known beforehand that the next main series entry in the franchise, the Wii U Legend of Zelda, was going to be skipping E3 2015 entirely. Fans of Zelda may not have tuned in to Nintendo's E3 Digital Event.
