I never imagined that I would be so apathetic to the release of a new Zelda game, but here we are.

In the interests of fairness, it must be said that this is not a brand new mainline Zelda game, but rather, a multiplayer focused spin off for the 3DS that seems to take cues from the Four Swords games on the Gameboy Advance. It must also be said that this is going to be the fourth Zelda game on the 3DS (and the second one this year), with a fifth one already lined up for next year, so there is some scope for franchise fatigue here.

But het, if you are one of the people looking forward to the game? Good news, guys: here’s a brand new trailer, and for what it is, the game is continuing to look pretty darn good. Really darn good, in fact.

It just sucks that we were supposed to get the Wii U Zelda game this year, and we had to make do with this instead. Ah well.

It’s a far cry from the epic Wii U Zelda game that we have been waiting for ever since it first got revealed at E3 last year, but in case you were interested, The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes will be launching on the Nintendo 3DS line of systems on October 23 in North America and Europe, Nintendo announced today.

Announced at E3 earlier this year, the game is another multiplayer take on the Zelda franchise, featuring a team of three Links taking on dungeons and puzzles cooperatively. The game can also be played single player, and seems to have been developed using the same engine that powered the superlative The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

Triforce Heroes is only one multiplayer take on a franchise known for its single player focus that will be coming to 3DS in the next few months- at E3, Nintendo also announced Metroid Prime: Federation Force, a multiplayer arena shooter based on the Metroid franchise, that will be launching on the Nintendo 3DS some time next year.

Stay tuned to GamingBolt for information on both these games.
