The DSiWare remaster added a couple to Four Swords itself the Realm of Memories and the Hero's Trial are two bonus dungeons you can unlock.

If you don't have any friends who also have this game, you may be tempted to invest in an Action Replay or just walk through the walls.

You need to beat it in order to unlock the bonus dungeon of A Link to the Past.

It will put veterans of older Zelda games to shame. Compared to the rest of the game (and including Realm of Memories), this is definitely Nintendo Hard. They are Sea of Trees, Talus Caves, Death Mountain and Vaati's Castle amped Up to Eleven. It's particularly murderous in single-player mode, as certain enemy ambushes just weren't designed with only one player in mind.

Brutal Bonus Level: The Anniversary Edition includes the Hero's Trial, a harrowing gauntlet of Malevolent Architecture and mobs of some of the most unfair enemies in the game.

This can be extremely useful on Bosses and Hero's Trials. This can be a form of loophole abuse, but when you're about to fall into lava or bottomless pit, you can switch to avoid losing hearts. Of course, there's plenty of room for competition as well as cooperation.Īccording to the Hyrule Historia, Four Swords is chronologically the third game, after Skyward Sword and The Minish Cap (this game's prequel), and is the last game before the timeline is split into three by the events of Ocarina of Time. The four Links must work together to defeat their foes in the various areas and make their way to the final fight against Vaati. Link obtains the Four Sword and uses its magic powers to split into four copies of himself (green, red, blue, and purple). The story for the game, though not terribly important, involved the wind sorcerer Vaati, who had been sealed away before, escaping from his seal and capturing Princess Zelda with the intention of making her his bride. It also had a few features to connect to A Link to the Past, such as new sword moves unlocked in A Link to the Past being transferred to Four Swords, and a secret dungeon in A Link to the Past upon beating both games. It's the first multiplayer Zelda (and, until the DSiWare version, it was exclusively multiplayer) and was also the first game released to use the 2D version of the stylized cel-shaded design for Link that would later be used in The Wind Waker (in Japan, however, The Wind Waker came out first).

The ninth game in The Legend of Zelda series, Four Swords is actually a multiplayer mode that comes with the 2002 Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past (though also later released standalone for the DSiWare).
