the legend of zelda the four swords adventures

I think that this is the best zelda game in years! And all of the graphics are awesome it is just the best game. The best part is it has a micture of the wind waker and the minish cap. And yes it would be more fun in multiplayer because it would make it easier but i personnaly like it in single player. And i hope that they never stop making these type of games. I just wish everyone could enjoy the legend of zelda series. And of course it does take japan two or three years just to make them. AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM!

Doesn't Even compare to any other Zelda Game.

I bought this game hoping that it would as good or btr than all the other Zelda Titles i have played but i personally thought it really didn't live up to the title. I suppose that multiplayer it would prob. actually be pretty fun but i "not owning a gm advance" nvr got to try that. Anyways for one player the game was difficult and really not that fun...wierd crappy graphics....and i don't really get why they couldn't have just made a game with one link....all in all if you are buying this for multiplayer try it out...but if i not i wouldn't even buy it....just play windwaker tell twighlight princess comes out.....

You need to play this game with 4 players

The only way to really have fun in this game is with 4 players.

When I first ripped open the game and turned on the cube, it's a very boring story in the beginning that you can't skip, since I didn't want to go through it again, I completed the first level by myself. It was hell, extremely boring.

I was actually thinking of returning it, I thought to myself to have 3 of my friends over that had Game Boy Advances, and GCN-GBA cables, so I phoned them up, oh god, I had such a blast!

With 3-4 Players this game is extremely fun and entertaning. You'll get near endless amounts of fun and replay value, most of the puzzles aren't as confusing as the Four Swords for GBA ones, and the action is better. However, choose your friends wisley, since they can hurt you by throwing you off pits, you can return the favor though, I did it countless times.

With 2 players the game is kinda... meh, OK... You won't get bored if you play 1-2 levels (3 if you're hyped, like sugar-high or something) but after that it's extremely tedious. You NEED a memory card for this game. Don't even THINK of playing this without one, since the saving feature is limited enough!

Like I said before, 1 player is horrible, and you should only try it once (the first level)

When you go into a house or something (in 2-4 player mode) your game will move to your GBA screen, it seems creative at first, but then it just gets to be a pain in the (BLEEP), since it is quite a pain while you're playing. (When playing 1 player, the GBA screen will overlap the TV screen, unless you're playing on a GBA, but why would you?)

GBA SP's can also be used BTW. Even more troubles: First of all, there usually isn't 4 item spots, where all 4 of you can get a specific item, so you usually have to fight over it, which is quite a hassle. Another trouble is that no matter how good you do, your "buddies" can just give you the "bad" rankings at the end of the game, making you lose points, so they can win, even though you helped them as best as you possibly could. Idiots.

A great addition to the game, even though it can be unfair, if you're bad at fighting in 2d zelda games, is Shadow Battle which is for 2-4 players, you CANNOT add bots to play alone.

You can use items in this mode, however the hidden stages are just "Dark World" variations, where there is a cirlce of light around you, with the exact same level. This is what you get for beating Hyrule Adventure? You gotta be kidding!

For the extra game Tera's Trackers, you need the Asia Import of this game, since it got ditched from the US version. Why? I have no idea. What a crafty marketing strategy. Not!

Anyways, buy this game at your own risk, if you are the type of gamer who's friends all have Xbox, you should not get this game, since I doubt they will all have GBA/GBA SP and GCN-GBA cables.

Even worse (Read it in the instruction booklet) Nintendo DS, and Nintendo DS Lite are not compatiable with any Linkup games, any type. Period. Which is really dumb and stupid, so you can't even PLAY multiplayer if you don't have a GBA SP or GBA.

Another crafty, idiotic marketing scheme. Ah well, wait for Twillight Princess, it arealdy came out for the WII
i'm shelling out for the GCN version.

This game is definatley different from most other Zelda games. But that definatley DOES NOT mean it is any less fun. It is great. The levels are kind of short, but there are alot of them though. 24 to be exact. Well actually there is 8, but each level is divided into 3 mini-levels. The picture is sort of bad, but that is definatley understandable because it is a remake of an older game, from like the 80's or something. Actually its not even a remake, its the same game just made onto a disc, for more modern systems. This isn't one of those games you beat once and never want to play it again. It is one of the ones you like to play over and over.

Fun...with real people

The best thing about this game is its multi player, obviously. its extremely fun but, their's to many things wrong with this zelda. Here's one of the problems- its to repetitive. I cant tell you how many times Dark Link tried to kill me or how many times i had to hit vaati and did i mention in every level you do the same thing. But its all very, very fun. Eventually though the repitition will start to ware down the fun you are having. I know multi player is the whole thing with this game but what if you're like me and you're friends arent always around? you'll get bored to death because playing this game by yourself is like watching paint dry or dry paint. Nintendo should have created a mini single player adventure along with it. I love this franchise i have almost every game(ive beaten this one), this was probalbly one of the worst zelda games ive played. (i enjoyed the whole thing with the gba)

WOW!!

OH MY GOD! When I heard this game was coming out, I thought it was just going to be the a gameboy game type of game and it would be stupid, but when I rented it, IT WAS GREAT!!! It was hecka fun and I wish I could've beaten it. The only thing is that I brought my memory card to my friend's house and we were going to play 2p, turns out we can't because I don't have a gameboy advance!! That sucked. Otherwise, this game is great!

funnest mulit-player game ever

I love this game. me and my friends all went in on it, and we stayed up one night playing it non-stop (thanks goodness we're dumb so it takes a while to solve puzzles). T he graphics, story, competition, and coop is perfect. I love how you go into a cave or house and it appears on your gba.

this game is a must have, unless you have like a spare week to play it, just rent it.

Use only with Gameboy Advance

This game is not worth buying or renting unless you have other players, to play with you, which also means you need the Gameboy Advance, and the cable to connect it to the Gamecube. The graphics are what you would see on a Gameboy Color, so unless you are using as a multiplayer game, don't bother even renting it.

I played this game with my nephew which required 2 GBAs and 2 link cables. No problem. The game worked in such a way that he controlled two Links and I controlled two. Knowing that much, the game uses GameCube to GBA connectivity pretty well and is probably the best I've seen thus far. I don't know whether I would have played this game as a single-player since it was mainly designed to attract the multi-player crowd, but after beating it once, I haven't played it again (there are no "side quests" or anything else to bring you back into the game). Nonetheless, a very good purchase for the multi-player crowd but single-player can do just fine (I had to switch to single-player to pass some traps, but again, not sure if I would purchase it for this). Great for a zelda collector.

Different but fun

You people that down this game are full of crap, it may be different from the others but it is great fun. It may be similar to game boy games but they are some of the most fun in the series. So don't down this game it is fun all aroung.
