The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (GameCube)

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is a highly polished and perfected game. It doesn't focus on eye popping visuals or next-gen graphics. The point of the game is fun. It's what Nintendo is best at. This is a true Zelda game full of all the baddies, items, weapons, sounds, characters, and settings that you would be familiar with if you played another Zelda title before. It looks like a graphically superior Game Boy Advance game, with little touches of special visuals all around. This is by no means a detractor, but when you play multiplayer and the screen is swarming with enemies, you'll appreciate its uncluttered simplicity.

This game is best played with three other friends that own Game Boy Advances. When all linked up, it improves the gaming experience. You use the GBA for control, and there are times when only you can see what your player is doing because it's shown of the GBA screen. It's pretty cool since there is a competitive element to the game. You'll hear your friends say, "Hey! Where'd you go?" Only to find you in some secret cave filling your bag full of gems. You of course have to co-operate to complete a level, but it's a lot of fun to pick up and throw your buddies avatar and use him as a weapon.

Yes, there is a single player portion of the game, and you can play without a Game Boy Advance. It's fun, don't get me wrong. You won't miss out if you don't have a GBA, I just highly recommend it.

There are not many other games to compare it too since it's a different experience with its enhanced connection ability. I guess you could compare this game to the Gauntlet series. They have a similar playing style. You view from above, hack away at enemies, and solve puzzles.

My one negative note is the cost factor required to play this game with three friends. They all have to have a GBA and a link cable! All that gear adds up, and unless your friends are loaded, it'll be hard to coerce your friends to pony up the dough to buy what's needed to enjoy the multiplayer part of the game.

With that said, it’s fun. Loads of fun, tons of extras, very replay-able, and lots of hardware is needed to play this game to its fullest. The money is well spent, though. You'll enjoy it.

the game is good. i never give excellent because there is always room for improvement. everything is fine with the game iahve aleways been a zelda fan since i started playing video games.

The game is great with graphics and story lines.
Many secrets to unlock. Many hours of fun.
The free available online walk through guides for the games are helpful too.

This is an addictive game. You just have to line the Links up in just the right way. Once you figure out that part of the game, you figure out the rest of the game. The only part I didn't like was the fact you can only carry one thing at a time.

Bought this item for my youngest boys (10 & 8 yrs.) They absolutely love it -- and love that seller included the Gameboy link cables!! Great buy, and seller
was excellent, fast shipping :-)

my children have been looking for this game for quite some time, had not been able to find it for less than eighty dollars so have been waiting hoping to find a good buy, dtr has been playing it since it arrived she loves it very much, i have a hard time getting her to leave it and get her chores done. she is so happy with the great condition of the game upon arrival. thanks much for such a great product

The perfect party game. For those of you who think that Mario Party has got it going on, pick this up. Fun for the whole family is guaranteed. Zelda + multiplayer = great.

It is a little different form the other games of Zelda, but good and fun. I finished the game in 2 days.

Playing my gamecube is my rest time. the game is great. I must say it does cut into my work time but thats ok cause I just work harder to catch up.

I just love the entire Zelda series! I have every game in the series,the NES versions,SNES version,both N64 games and all four Game Cube versions.AS well as those for the gameboy players.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is a great mulitplayer Zelda game that you and your friends will have fun playing. There are a few down sides. Unlike other Zelda games, the storyline is linear and forces you in one direction, it also lacks an overworld. Also, the multiplayer requires that each player have a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance to Gamecube link cable which can make it pretty hard to actually find anyone to play the game with. That is a shame because the single player mode (which can be played with the Gamecube controller) while it is fun and challenging, isn't nearly as fun as it is playing with friends. So, if you can get 2-4 other people who have a GBA and GBA to GCN link cable to play then definately get this game. If you'll be playing it solo, then you might want to think about it a little more. It's still fun by yourself but it was designed with multiple players in mind.

I bought this game because I thought it was "Link to the Past", but with 4 guys instead of 1. Although the graphics are mostly similar to "Link to the Past" the gameplay is not. A lot of the classic rules about item use in previous games is changed in this one: such as unlimited bombs and arrows. In addition, you can only carry one item at a time (bombs, or boomerang, or arrows), and you cannot swap between these items at any time: you must find those items in your environment to use them. This adds a different dimension to the gameplay and puzzle-solving that goes on, which I like.

Also, although most of the graphics are "Link to the Past"-like, they also involve some very effective GameCube-style graphics, which adds greatly to the effects. Because you have 4 characters that you can form into formations, the game occasionally throws a lot of enemies at you: 50 or more guys coming at you can be pretty daunting, but it's fun to line your guys up and start swinging away.

I've only played it as a single player, but it is still a lot of fun. When I am finished with the game, I have some friends who plan to play the multi-player version with me. We found some first-generation Gameboy Advances (GBA) at local trade stores for about $20 each. I also bought some link cables on eBay. Since I also own "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles", getting these devices was worth it to me. But, whether or not you have GBAs, and at least one friend to play with you, this game is definitely fun to play, and should be worth your time.

I was somewhat reluctant to purchase this one as I wasn't too thrilled with the Windwalker version. I was hoping this one would be better, back to the older type version that I adored. It was. I had a great time playing it. It was ust tough enough to enjoy without being long and boring getting around like the Windwalker version. I look forward to other versions of this game coming on the market. I adore the Zelda game format. Hopefully, that doesn't mean that cause I'm old. I happen to be a senior citizen and still enjoy games like this one.

I bought this game because I've loved playing the games in the Zelda series since I was a kid. When I finally started making decent money I bought a Game Cube specifically to play the Zelda-Legend of the Wind Waker game, which is the best game ever in my opinion. However this paticular game goes back to older Nintendo games, with so-so grpahics, and effects, the game is fun but like most Zelda games, your going to need to buy a guide or search the web.

I bought the game for my 11 year old son. He loves all the games by The Legend of Zelda. He was at a great price and my son shares the game with all of his friend.

I had some delay problems with the post office and the seller gave me FULL SUPORT in this regards!
He even said that if the game didn't arrive, he would buy a new one and send it again!
I recomend the seller for all Ebay users!!!

Game is great! Just as fun as all the other Zelda games, can't wait to get to the end. Son wanted a game cube just so we could play Zelda again. Four Swords Adventures was a bonus!

this is the best zelda game ever! its fun for people of all ages. not to easy but not to hard. I loved it!!!!!

This game was a very good one. I remember when they put four swords multiplayer on the GBA A link to the past. Some of my friends and I played it for hours a day, and since that version I waited for the release of this game which was amazing. It is better with more people of course. I love how in this game you can upgrade your items in some levels, and I love how you can do formations. Any Zelda fan, or a person who just likes fun in their videogames should get The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.
