The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes is coming October 23rd
The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes was one of Nintendo's best surprises at E3 this year. Now it looks like the new Zelda adventure will drop on October 23rd. This game is a first for the Zelda series as it allows for both local and online co-op between three players as they tackle dungeons and bosses together. While the Zelda Four Swords spinoff has previously focused on co-op play, this is the first time it's been included in a more traditional adventure format and allowed online play.
The release date is good news for me as both my brother and sister have birthdays in October, and as luck would have it they are both huge Zelda fans. I remember getting them both Phantom Hourglass many years ago so I'm glad I can continue the Zelda gift-giving tradition.
