Four Swords Adventure’s GBA-Based Weakness Like a Bomberman title, the game is easy to learn (even none gamers should pick it up in a couple of minutes), has a fair amount of depth, and is fun. It is important that this mode is available because more often that not after a few stages in the adventure mode, it ends up being a fight anyway, why not add more weapons and flair? The stages are the standard set you would imagine from a multiplayer Zelda game: a Beachside Cottage, Wind Temple, Fire Temple, Hyrule Castle, etc, but they are all balanced and will provide you with hours of intense battles. There are ten stages, random weapons and powerups. Shadow Battle is simply deathmatch in Zelda. However my aggressions are better suited for the other multiplayer mode, “Shadow Battle”.
I like to view it as a needed accessory to the game, but that’s just mean spirit in me wanting to throw that prick of a blue player into a pit after he lit me on fire for the fourth time.
The downside is that if you piss of another player they can pick you up and throw you into pits or take you places against your will. This most noted in three player mode when one of the Links is essentially dead space until he is put to work. This is both alleviated and compounded by the fact you can lift up other players. You also need the all of the players going one direction to change the map on the tv, so if one person is a completionist or just has to cut down every bush, then it can take awhile. So it does come down to a nasty game of co-op/counter-op as the game progresses. By “wins the round” at the end of the stage you are rated on several facets of gameplay. Whoever has the most of these crystals at the end gets a bonus on who wins the round. Force Gems appear on the stage and without a certain amount you cannot complete it. For those who have played a Zelda game but not a Four Swords you work your way through the stages in typical Zelda style but with one twist. In Four Swords Adventure, you still have your standard adventure, known as “The Hyrulean Adventure”, which involves eight areas each of which has three stages and a boss fight. What Makes Four Swords Adventure Worthwhile? It seems like it has everything going for it, brilliant 2D gameplay, beautiful visuals, a fantastic soundtrack, but it has one dastardly hardware requirement that keeps it from being in everyone’s collection, which we will talk about later. Still using the Link to the Past inspired character and world sprites, it adds in Windwaker styled explosions, a orchestrated soundtrack inspired by Link to the Past, and a deathmatch-styled game mode. This game expands the gameplay of the original and adds some rather nice features. Nintendo releases Four Swords Adventure for the Gamecube.

No matter the problems, the Zelda series had finally worked in multiplayer, and it was awesome.įlash-forward two years. This was a fantastic sidequest for the series but had a few problems such as the length of the game and the technical limitations of the GBA.
However in 2002, Nintendo added a little something to their GBA port of their famous Link to the Past title, a high-quality side game called Four Swords.įour Swords provided a random multiplayer world for those who knew one to three other people who owned copies of the game. Sometimes it works, but more often than not it feels tacked on, rushed, or are just simply bad. It is a fickle slope when traditionally single player series add multiplayer elements.
