The larger scale is missed, but as you continue on your quest to reclaim Princess Styla's joyful fashion sense, the puzzle challenge slowly and smoothly ramps up.Ĭombat’s made a little easier with the silly yet powerful outfits you can unlock. The home-base town of Hytopia is a strange yet compact setting, one where villagers use cheeky dialogue to push you toward the local shops in order to build new costumes, buy material, or trade them in for rupees. The story that loosely ties these challenges together has a wackier and lighter tone than your typical Zelda adventure, and it’s presented as a simple list of missions rather than the traditional rich explorable overworld. A single life bar shared between the three of us means mistakes like this could cost the whole group a trip back to the start of the roughly 15-minute dungeons. But we had just as many bumbling failures: when our whole group fell off a highwire while stacked in a totem at The Lady’s Lair because we were too tall to hit a flock of birds that flew at us at a two-person height, it was a hilarious ending for a tense sequence. Riverside’s Secret Fortress, for instance, had my friends quickly build pillars to form a bridge using Water Rods, while I carried a bomb across it to blow up an obstacle ahead. Some more forgettable stages give everybody the same tool, but even those found clever ways to get us to team up.
