A Legendary Team
In the visual style of the critically-acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds game comes a new adventure. In this journey, three players team up– each as Link – to cooperatively make their way through inventive dungeons and battle bosses. Use the new Totem mechanic to stack three Links on top of each other to reach higher grounds and solve puzzles. Collect loot to create wearable outfits, each with a different boost or ability.
Features:
- Similar visual style and top-down view of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
- As Link, buddy up with two other Link characters and cooperatively solve inventive puzzles to progress through the game.
- All three players share hearts, so they must work together to defeat enemies and solve puzzles.
- Stack three Links on top of each other with the new “Totem” mechanic, which makes it possible to reach new locations to solve puzzles.
- Collect loot to create wearable outfits, each with a different boost or ability. Each dungeon is structured with four main areas.
- Single-player mode allows the player to rent two paper dolls to take along to complete the team of three and face challenges in dungeons.
- Choose from a set of emoticons to communicate with each other while playing in multiplayer mode.
- Team up with two other players in multiplayer mode via local wireless connection, online** and with download play.
Story
In the fashion-centered land of Hytopia, Sister Lady, a witch from the Drablands, is jealous of Princess Styla's fashion sense and sends her a gift, which turns out to be a trap that curses her to permanently wear an ugly jumpsuit. King Tuft sends out a message calling for a hero to save his daughter, but multiple heroes appear before him. The king, however, believes in a prophecy that tells of three heroes joining together in a totem, and thinks that the three heroes are the heroes of the prophecy.
Gameplay
Up to three players can play as one of three Links simultaneously, either online or locally via download play or a local wireless connection; a single-player option is also available in which the other two Links are dolls. The three Links can cooperate in ways such as climbing on top of each other to form a "totem" and coordinating their attacks properly. Other gameplay elements, in addition to the visual style, are drawn from A Link Between Worlds, such as the energy bar and the 3D structure. All three players share the same hearts, Rupees, and fairies. Each player can also use Rupees to buy costumes for their Link, which give him different bonus effects.
A second multiplayer mode known as the Coliseum is also available, in which players fight against each other in various stages; the player who takes the least amount of damage is the winner.
