One slight downside to the free DLC: the new levels are based around enemy killing, not puzzle solving. The Den of Trials' level set is all about defeating enemies in a room before moving on to the next. Checkpoints along the way help keep frustration to a minimum, but apart from that, it's all sword swinging and arrow shooting. The new outfits include the Fierce Deity Armor that lets you shoot sword beams in four directions simultaneously, and Linebeck's Uniform that gives you a preview of a chest's contents before opening.
]]>Tri Force Heroes is very much a Zelda game at its core, featuring the usual assortment of swordplay, arrow shooting, boomerang action we've come to expect. A nice new twist on the traditional formula is the addition of outfits each Link character can wear. Players don outfits and gain special abilities depending on what they wear. One version might shoot arrows, another function as a medic, that sort of thing.
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is all about outfits. Each player picks a Link donned with a unique outfit that brings with it a unique boost or ability. One version might shoot arrows, another function as a medic, that sort of thing. Up to three local or online co-op players then adventure through dungeons helping each other solve puzzles and survive the perils of sliding spike things and whatever those spinning fire traps are called. Did you hate those in A Link to the Past? Because I sure did.
Polygon captured some co-op gameplay footage while they were at E3. Each of the three players has a different outfit on that seem to confer different abilities. The red player is some kind of samurai that can shoot arrows, while the blue and green players can throw bombs of varying size. It does look to be a fairly cooperative experience while also being rife with opportunities to grief your fellow Links.

Receiving multiplayer capabilities in a Zelda game is extremely rare, so fans should be excited to hear what sort of content we'll be getting in this game. First, it'll have an overhead perspective much like classic Zelda games, and it will also have a mixed graphical style between Wind Waker and A Link Between Worlds (also a 3DS title).
