Minor Spoilers:
The game starts with Link and Zelda in the sanctuary of a blade known as the Four Sword that had sealed away the evil Wind Mage, Vaati. Link draws the sword, releasing Vaati, who then kidnaps Zelda. Upon drawing the sword, Link splits into four people, working together to save Zelda. The object of the game is to complete levels and receive keys from the Great Faries at the end of each level. Once a key is obtained from each of the three main levels, Vaati's Palace appears. Link travels through the palace and defeats Vaati, sealing the Wind Mage back into the Four Sword.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition
On September 28, 2011, Nintendo released an updated version of Four Swords on DSiWare, as part of Zelda's 25th Anniversary. The game is currently available as a free download, but according to some sources Nintendo will begin charging for it some time in the near future. This version of Four Swords contains a new one player mode in which you can control 2 Links. It also features 3 new stages, based on The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening.
Levels
There are a number of levels in Four Swords, especially the Anniversary Edition. They are listed below.
There are four levels to choose from at the start of the game. They are: Chambers of Insight, Sea of Trees, Death Mountain, and Talus Cave. Chambers of Insight is a tutorial level, and it isn't necessary to complete it to finish the game. At the end of each of the other three, you will be granted a Silver Key, providing you have gained as a team a total of at least 1 000 rupees. After you have collected the three Silver Keys, Vaati's palace will appear. You will only be able to go through the first door, however.
After you have finished the first door in Vaati's Palace, you will unlock the Realm of Memories. This has three levels, each one unlocking the next. The first one is based on A Link to the Past, the second is based on Link's Awakening, and the third on the original Zelda. After you complete these three, you will receive the Master Sword.
When you have received a total of 30 000 rupees, you will unlock the Hero's Trial. These levels are hard and have more enemies than any other level in Four Swords. The Hero's Trial has three levels again, each unlocking the next.
The only other two levels, the other two doors in Vaati's Palace, are unlocked by getting the Gold Keys and the Hero's Keys from the first three levels. To get the Gold Keys, you must receive 3 000 rupees in those levels, and the Hero's Keys require a total of 5 000 rupees.
