The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures: Difference between revisions

'' '''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''' '' is a game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was released on March 18th, [[2004]] in Japan, June 7th, 2004 in North America, January 7th, [[2005]] in Europe, and April 7th, 2005 in Australia. ''Four Swords Adventures'' is the tenth installment in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], and the second new ''Zelda'' game released on the GameCube.

''Four Swords Adventures'' is unique for being one of only two games in the series to allow the player to control four separate Links at the same time. It is the second game in the Series to have multiplayer. Each player (excluding during one player mode) is required to use a [[Game Boy Advance]] and link cable to connect to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. During one player mode, the player can use a Game Boy Advance, or just a Gamecube controller can be used and the Game Boy Advance screen will be displayed on on the main television. There are two separate ways to play Four Swords Adventures: Hyrulean Adventure and Shadow Battle. Hyrulean Adventure will take the player through the main storyline and can be played by one player or by up to four players. Shadow battle is a free-for-all multiplayer.

Along with using four different Links to complete the storyline, ''Four Swords Adventures'' changed many things in the typical Zelda formula. Each area of the game is separated into different levels. Levels do not connect with each other, and the player will have to leave the level to move to another area. Each level is then separated into three stages. Upon completing a stage, the player will then move to the next stage in the level. After completing the third stage and rescuing the Maiden trapped there, the player will then move to the next level. All levels are also able to be replayed as many times as needed, allowing the player to travel back and play through any stage or level they have completed.

*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' was [[Nintendo]]'s last top-down [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda game]] for home consoles for fifteen years, until the release of the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|''Link's Awakening'' remake]] for [[Nintendo Switch]] in [[2019]].
