Tag: E3 2015

Going into this particular E3, Zelda fans didn’t have much to look forward to: Zelda U had been explicitly stated to be skipping the conference, and the only other new game on the horizon appeared to be a port of Hyrule Warriors (now officially called Hyrule Warriors: Legends). Some may have been hoping that Nintendo would go back on their word and throw out some sort of teaser for Zelda U or even surprise fans with an HD or 3D remake of Twilight Princess, but Nintendo did neither of these, instead bringing in a brand new 3DS title way out of left field.

Appearing at first glance to be a simplified Four Swords with an A Link Between Worlds coat of paint, Tri Force Heroes has shown us, through our time with it at E3, the potential to bring so much more to the table, despite the fact that it is unlikely to be a full-fledged, epic Zelda adventure. 

Adam, host of Zelda Informer’s weekly podcast, was on the E3 show floor playing a lot of Tri Force Heroes. After the fun we all had playing through the game’s Volcano stage, Adam decided to run through another. Watch as he and other E3 attendees go hands-on with Tri Force Heroes‘ Temple stage, confronting many dangerous team-based traps and puzzles…

This week on the ZI Podcast, we tackle the exciting E3 2015 expo, filled with tons of laughter, tears, anger, and confusion. Since this is a special episode, we decided to do it differently than usual and record it in two parts: One online, and the other with our team that was on the show floor the entire three days. This week’s podcast features…

No, this isn’t another Tri Force Heroes news post; it’s actually another entry in Zelda Informer’s weekly Photoshop Contest. With the news of Tri Force Heroes featuring many unique hero costumes, we’ll be using our artistic skills to construct our own outfits for the game’s trio of Links. Before we play dress-up however, we’ve got to see if our predictions were true from last week’s contest: E3 2015 Predictions…

As mentioned in the Nintendo Treehouse livestream of Tri Force Heroes, the inspiration behind the fashion and costume themes of the game were from the item power-ups in A Link Between Worlds. Hiromasa Shikata (director of Tri Force Heroes)… 

Have a friend you’d like to introduce to the new Zelda game who just happens to have a 3DS as well? Tri Force Heroes might just be the perfect game for this task. Even if you’ve got one cartridge, you can link up two other 3DS systems to the game and play it together without the physical game itself! With download play, you can not only play through all the regular stages, but…

As demonstrated today in the Nintendo Treehouse livestream, there is a new Challenge Mode in Tri Force Heroes. This mode allows you to unlock the materials needed to create the most powerful costumes in the game. What makes this mode difficult is how it substitutes the items used to complete challenges in the regular mode with different items, thereby making it harder to complete puzzles and engage in…

On Monday, the Zelda Informer E3 team was one of the first in line to play The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, ready to take on the mysteries of this new multiplayer Zelda game. Adam from the ZI podcast, copy editor Jeffrey, and writer Rod made up the three-Link team, taking on the demo’s most difficult dungeon. You can now watch their frantically fun first look at the game and see exactly how working together in this upcoming Zelda will work…

Nintendo Treehouse just played Tri Force Heroes‘ different modes, and they’ve released a few more details behind Challenge mode. Challenge mode challenges you and your friends by limiting you to specific items to defeat a monster, solve puzzles, and get through dungeons. What makes it so difficult is that these items aren’t the ideal ones to complete the level, so team coordination is key. For example, instead of hitting a switch with an arrow with ease, players are given bombs, and must make them work just as well…

With all the amazing announcements being made at E3 this year, Best Buy has made their own announcement: they are offering a Limited Edition Super Mario Maker button set to customers who pre-order two games from a selection of up-coming titles for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS…
