I'm a 35 year old female gamer. This is a great game that satisfies my Zelda craving for the time being! I'm hooked - playing it every chance I get. I'm only playing the 1-person game and am totally enjoying every minute. This IS a different Zelda than you're used to....it's more focused on puzzle solving in smaller levels within different worlds rather than exploration of a huge over and under world. The game play moves along quickly. I like the unique concept of working together as a team more than I thought I would. The puzzles do sometimes make you sit back and think how your team is going to solve them, but aren't so challenging that you're constantly stuck. I like that! The controls are fluid and responsive.

Everything so far has been a nice reminder of Zelda games past. The majority of the game reminds me of Link to the Past, but there's elements, items, and characters from all the games. You'll feel comfortable in no time at all.

I have one complaint, but as you can see I still gave it 5 stars! You CANNOT save any time you want. You only get the option to save after completing a level. Since the levels aren't terribly long, and health as well as life fairies are abundant, it's not too bad.

Definitely worth a look for any Zelda fan!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Why are there peopel reviewig this game when they haven't even played the bloody thing? There's even someone here giving it a terrible review just becuase it's a 2D game. These are THE BEST 2D graphics you can get and anyone who condems this game for not being a OoT copy shouldn't be allowed a Gamecube. Besides, how do you expect a game like this to work in 3D and only use one screen? And for those who claim that this is nothing more than a ploy to extract money from you, WELL DUH! How is that different from any other game? This is greatest thing I've ever done with a GBA! This beats every GBA game in the pure, unadulterated fun stakes.

And now for my review: THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC! I've never laughed at my friends so hard in my life! Granted, this game will only appeal to the select few who: A) Can get 4 GBAs together in the same room for any amount of time. B) Have any friends to play with. C) Are over the age of six / Not a sore loser. And D) Can see the LIMITLESS fun and replay value that can be extracted from this master-piece of coding.

You gotta love those Japanese, good show.

Good game.

I am a Zelda fan.
I have not always been a Zelda fan, but I am.

This game absolutely does NOT, I repeat, NOT, suck. This is quality innovativity on Nintendo's part, and puts the GBA-GCN connectivity feature to good use.

On this game, there are 8 worlds to explore, each with its own surprises and twists.

This game's storyline is classic, as is involves (as usual) Princess Zelda and a guy named Ganon[dorf].

However, anyone who downs this game because it is 2D, or because you need a GBA to play multiplayer are not thinking.

This game is pure fun, Zelda fan or not. It is a must-have for any longtime fan of the series, because it has lots of nostalgic moments *tear*.

The reason this game REQUIRES a GBA for multiplayer is simply because there is no room on the TV for each character to have their own screen...and I don't know anyone with four TVs in their rooms. The second reason would be, of course, to make good use of that GBA-GCN cable that came with the game.

Now, my final suggestion: For all dissenters and/or Zelda fans, buy the game. It's great fun by yourself, and with friends. If you still don't like the game, maybe Zelda isn't meant for you. Haha. Have a nice day.

1 1/2 Stars?

not 1 1/2 stars not by the reveiws I read. There is no reason people can demote this game before it comes out. There is alos no way you can praise it. But, I feel that it will be a great game not a "Mario Party Clone". But, personally I am a Zelda Manic. I buy just about every Zelda game the day it comes out. I will buy this one the first day it comes out. I got a few problems with it but no game is perfect. Like Zelda the Wind Waker. People said "Oh, the graphic suck. I am not going to buy it." Nintendo replied "Just wait and try it." To me the same will happen

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!

It will be great

This game will be great, it even comes with a GBA-GCN gamelink cable so you can use your GBA(if you have one)but the only thing you need the GBA and the cable is for multiplayer. THere is a one player mode, and you can use a GCN controller. This game will be great.

Going To Be a BIG Hit

Get ready gamers, because this is the best multiplayer game I have ever played. This is an awsome game alone, but twice as much fun in multiplayer. But if you have 1, 2, 3, or even 4 players, get ready to play the best Zelda game I have ever played.

Best Zelda yet!

This is an amazing Zelda game. Although it looks bad at first glance, this game is spectacular. the graphics are great believe it or not, because you can see reflections in the water and even the clouds shadow coming from above.
The gameplay is spectacular. theres elements from every zelda game and many loved character come back for this game (including all of the familiar races.)A bad thing however is that there is no more free roaming to the next area. Once you beat a level, you go to a "level select" screen and go to you next destination.
The story line starts out as Hyrule is getting really dark. Zelda tell you that her and the 6 Shrine Maidens are going to see if the seal on the Four Sword is strong enough. they open the portal to go there, and Shadow Link appears, and tricks you into pulling out the Four Swords. Now the evil wind Sorcerer Vaati, who was sealed within the sword, is unleashed and captured the Maidens and Zelda. Now, as 4 Links, must rescue them and use them to open the way to Vaaiti's palace. But as you progress through the game, you will relize someone more evil is behind this conflict...
The multiplayer is by fare the best part. You can do adventure mode co-op or do a Zelda death match called Shadow Battle. Shadow battle is the best part of the game because there is so many things going on at once and there are so many items to use (bow and arrow, rocs feather, sligshot, pegasus boots, bombs, and more) and you can set off traps to damage your friends.

This is one of the best Zelda games, but the only downside is that it's really short. It could be beat in a weekend if you play it constantly. But I still highly recomend you buy this because the replay value is very high because there are a lot of memorable levels that are worth playing over and over.

Great For Any Zelda Fan!
