Why "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" Deserves a Remake on Nintendo Switch 2

One game that truly deserves a remaster or, ideally, a complete remake for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is... "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes"! Before we jump in, here's a blast from the past:

 A Unique and Cooperative Adventure 

Originally released for the Nintendo 3DS, "Tri Force Heroes" brought a novel twist to the Zelda series with its cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Three players team up, each taking on the role of a different-colored Link, to navigate ingenious dungeons and tackle formidable bosses. The iconic Totem mechanic, which allows the heroes to stack on top of one another, added a refreshing + frustratingly funny layer of strategy, enabling players to reach new heights and solve intricate puzzles.

 Collecting and Crafting 

In addition to its engaging gameplay, "Tri Force Heroes" introduced a loot system that allowed players to gather materials and craft unique outfits. Each outfit provided distinct boosts and abilities, enhancing the overall experience and adding a layer of customization that fans adored.

 Potential for New Content 

Given its innovative gameplay and charming visual style reminiscent of "A Link Between Worlds," a remastered or remade version on the Nintendo Switch 2 could offer even more excitement. Imagine periodic content updates, introducing new adventures and downloadable content (DLC) that keep the game fresh and engaging over time. This approach could extend the game’s lifespan, ensuring a larger player base and continuous enjoyment.

 Leveraging Nintendo Switch 2 Technology 

Utilizing the advanced technology of the Nintendo Switch 2, the game could feature enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and additional modes. Furthermore, integrating offline play between systems alongside the existing online multiplayer would make for an unbeatable combination, catering to various player preferences. This would be a great way to get more gamers out of the house with others to play together while enjoying adventures with Link. This is even better because you can actually talk to each other and strategize.

In short, "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" has the potential to be a standout title on the Nintendo Switch 2, offering both nostalgic value and innovative improvements. Whether you're a returning fan or new to the game, this remake could bring countless hours of cooperative fun and adventure. It certainly did on the Nintendo 3DS. That said, game on!
