The game supports local and online multiplayer, the latter being a first for the series. Naturally, the gameplay is heavily based on The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, only minus one Link. With multiple people claiming to be The Hero this time around, they have to work to fulfill the king's prophecy of three heroes that come together to form a totem. The king calls out for a hero, and naturally, Link is ready to answer the Call to Adventure. But one day, she is cursed to be - unfashionable stuck in a full-body leotard that she can't take off. The story takes place in the fashion-forward kingdom of Hytopia, whose princess (who is not Zelda for once, but the princess Styla) is renowned for her beauty and style.

According to Word of God it is a direct sequel to A Link Between Worlds, with that game's Link being one of the three Links here. It is the third Zelda game to utilize multiplayer for the main game, after Four Swords and Four Sword Adventures, and notable for being the series first online multiplayer outing. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is the 18th installment in The Legend of Zelda series, released on the Nintendo 3DS in North America and Europe on October 23rd, 2015.
