'''Navi Trackers''' is a puzzle-based treasure hunting game that was included in the Japanese and Korean versions of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. The game was formerly planned as a stand alone title named '''Tetra's Trackers''', but it was turned into an optional mode of ''Four Swords Adventures'' somewhere along the line in development. Players use [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]]s as game screens and controllers via a link cable, while the television screen shows navigators narrating the action and a basic map.  

When Tetra's Trackers was first announced at E3 2003, it was originally planned to be a stand-alone game release. However, Nintendo canceled the project as a standalone game without any official announcements. Later, the game was included in the Japanese and Korean version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' as the multiplayer mode ''Navi Trackers''. Likely because of the difficulties in rerecording voice acting in other languages, the mode was not included in all releases of ''Four Swords Adventures'' outside of Asia.<ref>http://www.zeldacapital.com/Games/tetra.php</ref>

*The word Navi in [[Navi Trackers]] is probably taken from the word [[Wikipedia: Navigator|Navigator]].

*In [[Navi Trackers]], [[Tetra]] and her pirate crew have full voice acting instead of the usual text-only dialogue. The game also has a primitive text-to-speech engine, possibly relying on prerecorded snippets of audio - the navigators (Tetra, [[Sue-Belle]], and the [[King of Red Lions]]) can pronounce the two-character name the player selects at the start of the game.

*[[Navi Trackers]] features the only other home console of the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' cel-shading style as well as the only 3D representations of the four colors of Links within [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

*Although the rest of the Korean release of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' is fully translated into Korean, the [[Navi Trackers]] mode in that release is not translated and keeps the Japanese voice acting.
