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 power-ups in A Link Between Worlds. Hiromasa Shikata (director of Tri Force Heroes) stated that he liked the idea of the power-ups in A Link Between Worlds and wanted to bring it back with expansion to the player’s abilities.

There was also a new costume, the Goron Garb, mentioned in today’s livestream. Apparently, this particular outfit allows the wearer to swim through lava – a skill likely necessary for certain dungeons puzzles. Perhaps some secrets will be hidden without this ability.

What do you think of this expansion upon the item power-up mechanic of A Link Between Worlds? Comment below with your thoughts!
