Coliseum

The Coliseum is a Multiplayer mode in, similar to the Battle Mode in and.

Overview
The Coliseum is where players may pit against each other in one-on-one or three-player free-for-all matches in either local or online Multiplayer. In the Levels, the Links can find Items to help themselves gain an upper hand against the others. The goal of a Coliseum match is to deal the most damage to the other Links while also trying to avoid sustaining damage. Should a Link lose all of his Hearts, he will reappear shortly and can continue fighting, however it will compromise his final score. Whomever suffers the least amount of damage and KOs by the end of the time limit is awarded 20 Rupees and a particular Material, while second and third place are given 10 and 5 Rupees respectively. If more than one Link ties for first place, they are only given 20 Rupees each, and no Material.

Certain Materials used for crafting Outfits are exclusive to the Coliseum, and must be won in order to obtain better Outfits to fight in future Coliseum matches. Some Levels in the Coliseum will also transform during a match, providing an added level of adversity. When a Link wins, the Material he is given is determined using a percentage: there is a 50% chance it will be something common, a 30% chance it will be something rare, and a 20% chance it will be something unique.

Woodlands
The Woodlands takes place in a grassy, walled enclosure. It is filled with tall grass and bushes that the Links can cut down for Hearts. A pair of Bows and a Bomb are provided for use within the battle. Four tree stumps and a tiny puddle lie in the center of the arena, however these have no use.

Riverside
The Riverside takes place in a small body of water with and island in the middle of it, and four more to each of its cardinal directions. A Gripshot and two Water Rods can be found here, as well as stakes on each island which the former item can latch on to. Stones lie on each of the islands, which can be thrown for a chance at Hearts.

Volcano
The Volcano takes place on a platform suspended above dangerous lava. There are several grates on the floor through which pillars of lava will rise. To the platform's top-left is an area separated from the platform by a chasm, that can be reached by navigating a short but narrow path. The platform's item pedestals contain two Boomerangs and one Gust Jar.

Ice Cavern
The Ice Cavern takes place on a frozen platform held high above the sky, which the Links can fall off of if they are not careful. The platform is covered in hexagonal tiles of ice, which can be melted away or broken either by standing on them too long, or by using the two sets of Fire Gloves and the Magic Hammer provided for the battle, leaving several holes in the arena. The Links can fall through these holes, though the ice will freeze over after a few seconds. Rocks can also be found near the item pedestals. As the platform's icy floor has poor traction, the Cozy Parka Outfit can be helpful for the battle.

Fortress
The Fortress takes place on a bricked platform over a pool of water, which the Links can fall off of. In the center of the platform are four grates, which will continuously contract and expand, creating holes in the floor that the Links can fall through. A Gripshot, Fire Gloves, and a Gust Jar are provided for use within the battle. Pots can also be picked up and thrown.

The Dunes
The Dunes takes place on a large, grated platform that tilts depending on where the Links stand atop it. Several statues jut out of the platform, which the Links can use to catch themselves if they begin to fall off. At the beginning of the match, if a Link falls, or if a Link loses all of his hearts, he spawns on top of one of three ramps before immediately sliding down to the main platform. This arena doesn't hold any items, so the Links must rely on their swordsmanship alone to win.

The Ruins
The Ruins takes place on a large platform with three color-coded platforms on within it. A Link can only stand on these color-coded platforms if his tunic matches its color, if not, he'll fall through it, losing a Heart. Disappearing platforms also encircle the main one, and these can be used to reach any of the four surrounding platforms, which each hold two pedestals that contain one of every item in the game. Since only only item can be held at a time, at least five will always remain out of use, allowing the Links to switch as much as they'd like within the time frame.

Sky Realm
The Sky Realm takes place on a flat, circular platform high in the sky. Fiery rocks fall from above and will set a Link on fire if he is hit by one. This arena doesn't hold any items, so the Links must rely on their swordsmanship alone to win.
