With very little fanfare, Nintendo released a new update for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (Update 2.1.0) -- one would expect the update to be fixed with non-noteworthy bug fixes and the like. However, following the footsteps of the title's previous substantial update, this one introduces a new in-game currency: "Hero Points."
According to the patch notes, Hero Points act a way for players to power up their Bear Minimum outfit as well as attain materials from the Street Merchant to craft outfits they don't already own. In order to get Hero Points, players can earn them through online play by not voting (or choosing "I can't decide!") or by clearing any level or challenge in Local Play.
Additionally, the developers threw in a few unidentified adjustments" to improve gameplay.
