The plot is wacky right off the bat, introducing players to the fashion-oriented land of Hytopia and its recently despondent princess who’s been stripped of her wardrobe and flair by an evil witch - possibly to never again inspire citizens to pursue a life of fashion. You could easily start piecing together that Tri Force Heroes is a game focused more on the mechanics than a backstory and lengthy story arc, if only going by the front of the box, but the opening moments are quick to establish this as an actual goal. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes isn’t on a time warp back into the Gamecube generation of paradigm shifts, but it is one of the more divergent in a long line of traditionally-structured adventures featuring Link. In the case of Wind Waker’s bout of cel-shading, for instance, they even took fans along for the ride, but what’s even more noteworthy is that these drastic moves are almost always earned - rather than some publicity stunt.
If there’s one thing I’ve always admired about Nintendo, it’s that they’re not afraid to move longstanding IP out of its comfort zone - even Zelda.
