Team up with companions or command a squad of heroes in the Zelda Tri Force Heroes 3DS ROM. Co-developed by Nintendo EPD and Grezzo, this top-down cooperative action-adventure brings high-energy puzzle dungeons, strategic Totem stacking, and costume crafting to your modded Nintendo 3DS consoles and modern PC emulators.
Storyline and Gameplay Features
In the style-obsessed kingdom of Hytopia, Princess Styla is cursed by a jealous witch to wear an unbreakable, drab brown jumpsuit. King Tuft issues a royal proclamation for pointed-eared heroes matching the prophecy to venture into the treacherous Drablands, defeat monsters, solve mechanical trial rooms, and lift the curse.
Standout gameplay features include:
- Three-Player Cooperative Mechanics: Coordinate movement, share a synchronized global life gauge, and tackle intricate environmental puzzles that demand synchronization across all three links.
- The Totem System: Lift teammates atop your shoulders to form two- or three-hero high Totems, reaching elevated switches, targeting tall enemies, and throwing companions across vast gaps.
- Craftable Outfits & Buffs: Collect materials from completed dungeon runs to craft dozens of outfits at Madame Couture’s shop—granting abilities like larger bombs, triple arrow volleys, or extra hearts.
- Single-Player Doppel Dolls: Tackle the entire campaign solo by actively switching control between the lead hero and two stationary mechanical doll teammates.
- Den of Trials Update: Tackle the expanded post-game gauntlet with extra combat stages, unique materials, and additional bonus costumes.
