![]() He jumps aboard Captain Linebeck's ship and heads off to find the spirits of Courage, Wisdom, and Power to find his friend again. Tetra has been kidnapped by an evil Ghost Ship, and it's Link's job to save her. ![]() Phantom Hourglass is the handheld successor to The Wind Waker and earns a spot just above its sequel. ![]() Traveling across the overworld by train was fun, but never as fun as flying or sailing. We were never a fan of Nintendo's wacky control schemes, and while the touchscreen controls work, they never felt as comfortable as using regular old buttons. However, our biggest complaint comes from the controls. It's full of humor and it makes use of Zelda as a second protagonist, something that doesn't happen often enough in Zelda games. Spirit Tracks has the makings of a great Zelda game. She's stuck as a spirit and needs Link's help to set things right. When Princess Zelda contacts him to investigate some disappearing train tracks, Zelda's body is snatched. In Spirit Tracks, Link is just a blue-collar guy, working as an engineer for the Royal family. This handheld Zelda title, which was a direct sequel to both Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker, is all about trains. In the end, despite Tri Force Heroes' unique, forward-thinking story and focus on multiplayer, the game is ultimately too limited and forgettable. ![]() Speaking of multiplayer, you either needed three friends or no friends, and there was no two-player option. Playing by yourself allowed you to jump between the three Links, but it only made the three-player design feel more like a gimmick and less like a gameplay mechanic. We have a soft spot for the cooperative game, but because of the 3DS limited hardware, communication with your teammates was shoddy at best, and the shared life bar meant that you'd pay for your teammate's mistakes. Link is joined by two other Links throughout his adventure, called Doppels, and the whole game is based around three Links solving puzzles by working together. Tri Force Heroes is actually a direct follow-up to A Link Between Worlds, though you may not know it based on the game's art style and its focus on multiplayer. Rounding out the bottom of our list is a game that had good intentions but was just the wrong game at the wrong time.
