 Multiplayer Fun! December 24, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This game is just a blast in multiplayer. The thing is you need 4 GBA's and 4 link cables if you want 4 people to play. But, all my friends have that. :P It's fun with multiplayer.

Zelda Four Swords is extremely similar to SNES' "A Link to the Past"; only with a linear, unexplorable world map. If you enjoyed that game or some of the other old school Zelda titles, this will be VERY fun for you.
To put it bluntly, you will want friends. In this game, you can only carry one item at a time. It's a good idea to tell your friends to grab items you think you'll need down the road to solve puzzles. This is the sole reason why the game feels easier the more people there are to help you... you spend less time backtracking to swap items.
The game is presented in stages, so if you are looking for a Zelda game with a huge, freely explorable world, or if you just like to play alone, you'll have problems with this one. As for replay value, once you beat the stages there is little else you can do. The battle mini-games are fun, but do not last long. However, Four Swords is an enjoyable game with great music, and will remind you of the SNES Zelda.
Great Fun, Loved it June 3, 2006

This game is not like Wind-Waker at all. It is more like the Legend of Zelda for the NES, which I thought was great. The graphics are not super great, but if you love playing Zelda on the NES you will love this game. We didn't play with the Game Boy Advance, but just played the one player game. It's very addicting and fun for everyone. Don't bother with the book, go online to find out clues for some of the more complicated puzzles.
Don't pass this one up, especially now that it's on sale.
Built for four players May 9, 2006

This game was made for four players. I do not recommend it unless you can get four people together to play it. It is not a fun game to play single player, or even with two people. It was designed as a four player game.
Unfortunately the cost of playing this game w/ 4 GBAs is pretty prohibitive, so few people have played this game the way it was meant to be played. If you can get together four people with GBAs and link cables, this is definitely a game you should play. I managed to convince three other people to buy GBAs and a link cable to play this game, thinking that more similar games would come out for the GC. Unfortunately all we got was the very mediocre Crystal Chronicles. I have a feeling the prohibitive cost of playing this game limited its sales enough to stop N from releasing any more similar games.
Now assuming you can get four people together w/ four GBAs this game really shines. The coordination needed to do some of the puzzles and bosses really gets people vocal and its lots of fun. There are also a ton of mini games that occasionally we'll still play even after beating the game.
There is definitely a darkside to this game, which can be both good and bad. If there are any competitive people in your group, beware. You're going to have to set some ground rules or chances are you'll have a brawl break out sooner or later. The competition for rupees can be pretty fierce, and this is compounded by the game mechanic that lets you steal rupees from each other so easily by just attacking. And you'll get nowhere in the game if you don't cooperate, so without some sort of ground rules you'll get nowhere as people just kill each other for rupees over and over. I sort of wish Nintendo had put in a mode to prevent rupee stealing (sort of like a coop mode).
The game is very short. You can beat it in around 10-15 hours with rupee competition. This isn't that bad though, as it's usually hard to get four people together at the same time so you can make the game last for a while (such as playing once a week).
I gave the game 4 stars because of the prohibitive cost of the game. Nintendo could have released this w/o the need for GBA if they wanted, which would have been awesome. Guess they were trying to sell the whole connectivity thing.
 not the best but pretty good December 20, 2005

it looked like a stupid gameboy game!!!!!!!!! I guess it was supposed to but seriously guys, it is out of date. Get the windwaker game. It was better than any zelda game.But in the windwaker game the character also gets a look of game boys. Stick to NFL Street 2. That was the best game ever.
