The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Wars
The allure of the Triforce is certainly a strong and powerful desire; a power granted by the goddesses themselves. If one holds the Triforce; one holds the power. In what started as a power grab started by the genocidal Ganondorf resulted in a massive war between the forces of light and darkness. Harvest resources, build your bases, amass the armies, and seize the Triforce for your own in this epic and fantastical real-time strategy game in a joint project by Nintendo and Petroglyph Games, Inc, a studio composed of staff from Westwood Studios; the now defunct studio who brought Command & Conquer to the world. Nintendo had considered contracting Activision-Blizzard for the joint project due to their success in the Warcraft and Starcraft series but dropped them due to ongoing controversy with the company.
The game has both a Story/Campaign Mode, Battle Mode, Model Viewer Mode, Map Creator, and Campaign Creator. Each mode is geared to providing players with an unique and epic experience. Jump into the Campaign Mode and take part in a massive civil war within Hyrule where Ganondorf attempts to seize the Triforce for himself. Just as the forces of light looks to win the final confrontation, Ganondorf uses ancient magic to pull meld with other timelines and gains allies such as Ganon’s Malice, Forces of Demise, and Majora’s Minions. Can the forces of light tap into this magic and draw forth heroes and allies from the other timelines? Take sides with the forces of light or darkness in this non-canonical alternative reality of Hyrule at war.
Will you take command of the forces of Hyrule complete with their trained soldiers, knights, war machines, and heroes such as the King, Zelda, Link, and Marin? They command great strength but expend massive amount of resources. How about the Sheikah, skilled in the arts of subterfuge and reconnaissance? Enlist the forces of Sheik, Impa, and Purrah to enact devastation through espionage and technology. Or how about the Ruto, Goron, Zora, Gerudo, Kokiri, or even the Purified Twilit? Each one has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, buildings, units, and heroes. In particular, the Gerudo. Zora, Ruto, and Goron also have access to the Divine Beasts.
Or will you aid Ganondorf and the forces of Darkness? Take control of the Ganondorf’s Armies with heroes such as King Dodonga and Bongo-Bongo. The Forces of Demise with units like Remlits, Cursed Bokoblin, and Pyrup. How about the Cursed Twilit with Zant and Shadow Beasts at the helm? Even Skull Kid joins in the fun with Majora’s Forces joining the fight. Heroes within the forces of darkness factions includes both main heroes like Skull Kid and Zant as well as those who were encountered as bosses such as Odolwa, Argorok, Koloktos, and even the Ganon Blights.
In Battle Mode, pick between the following forces and a map of your choosing! Each faction has its own set of units, buildings, gimmicks, and Heroes. Some content has been pulled from the games itself while others was created for the sole purpose for LoZ: TW along with Eiji Aonuma providing assistance. Examples includes the Goron Cannonballers (massive war machine which fires curled of Gorons to break down buildings) and the Shiekah Spymaster (a special unit who enters into buildings to syphon resources from them).
