Nintendo Director Hiromasa Shikata told IGN some details about The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes competitive PVP mode, called The Coliseum.
Zelda: Tri Force Heroes's battle mode can be played locally or online. You can fight another player 1-on-1 or in a free-for-all against two other opponents. "In the Coliseum, you're fighting in a limited space," Shikata explained. "It's an enclosed environment and items are placed around that you can pick up to increase your chances of winning. In some of the stages, the terrain will transform." You goal is to inflict the most damage on your opponent as possible and, once the time is up, the player that has received the least amount of damage will win that battle.
As explained in the Nintendo Digital Event presentation, players collect material to make outfits in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. The outfits provide the player with enhanced abilities, for example an enhanced spin attack or bigger bombs. Shikata said that high-level materials are necessary to make the best gear, but the ones you find in PVP have a distinct advantage. "There are materials that you can only get by competing in the Coliseum," Shikata said. "Those material allow you to make clothes that are highly beneficial to competing."
