Prior to its launching date, Pocket Gamer UK had the opportunity to play "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" and they confirmed that the game could not be played from different regions.

When they made a review about the game, they pointed this out, saying, "You can only play with people on the same region that should help with latency issues, but is a shame if you wanted to play with friends for around the world."

They also indicated that the competitive element of the game was not highlighted, implying that rewards were collected for the team and each one would get their own to unveil at the end of each challenge. However, they were nothing more than generic rewards.

Attack of the Fan Boy also dubbed the feature as "region locked" because of the game's inability to interconnect gamers from different places. Nintendo is the only gaming console that still practices the region locked feature. Wii U and the 3DS contain this feature, whereas competing consoles, such as the Xbox and PlayStation, have already striped off the region lock attribute.

Pocket Gamer UK also featured other characteristics of "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" that in includes not being able to launch voice chats. Instead, gamers could use the typical "emoji-like" messages and had to resort to using Skype in order to communicate verbally with each other. Gamers who are not used to "emoji messages" may find it hard to compete in the game.

The new game will also allow you to play alone and make use of "doppels" as team players, but, take note that you can only control one character. The others will be left with no artificial intelligence, and, as Pocket Gamer implies, it can be slow.

Comparing it with previous version of "Zelda," wherein a co-op game can be performed, you can't possibly launch a fight with just two players only, but if you push to go online, the game will automatically assign you a random player to complete multiplayer feature.

That being said, North American players will definitely be unable to play with their counterparts in the U.K. and Japan. However, they can still play with others within their region.

"The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" will launch on Oct. 22.
