Link is set to return to the Nintendo 3DS before he arrives on the Wii U.
Nintendo announced plans Tuesday during the Electronic Entertainment Expo for a multiplayer-focused installment of “The Legend of Zelda” on the Nintendo 3DS set to debut this fall. However, the Japanese gaming giant didn’t provide any more details about a previously teased open-world “Zelda” edition coming to the Wii U console next year.
“The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes” for Nintendo’s handheld Nintendo 3DS system was shown off during a prerecorded video presentation Tuesday, with sword-wielding hero Link teaming up with a pair of allies. The trio could climb atop each other to take down taller enemies and reach higher locations.
“This time, I wanted players to cooperatively enjoy more serious ‘Zelda’ gameplay elements, like solving puzzles and going through dungeons,” said “Tri Force Heroes” director Hiromasa Shikata during Nintendo’s E3 presentation.
The previous “Zelda” adventure, “A Link Between Worlds,” was released in 2013 for Nintendo 3Ds and sold more than 2.5 million copies. While previous “Zelda” games have been released for the Wii U, Nintendo has yet to premiere an original “Zelda” entry for the console, which has lagged behind Sony’s PlayStation 4 andMicrosoft’s Xbox One.
