  I just bought The Legend of Zelda Four Swords adventure and haven’t been able to put it down. I haven’t tried any of the multiplayer modes because i do not have a second cable yet but i plan to purchase one tomorrow and try them out. Even just playing single player this game is a blast. Though the graphics are so-so the gameplay is really fun. At first i was one of those people who thought that Gameboy to Gamecube was a stupid idea and it would never work. Well i was wrong this game has changed my mind. I love the whole Gameboy Advance thing it makes the game a lot better. The only one thing i must say is this isn’t your traditional type of Zelda its more of an Arcade style like the kind you would find in a arcade that you would pay a nickle for. The game is divided into levels and you complete each level. You don’t really collect items though its more of a one time thing. Overall i found this game really fun and challenging so I would recommend it to anyone who has a GBA and a GCN.

  Four Swords Adventures is definitely a great buy. It’s interesting gameplay coupled with multiplayer modes and Tingle’s tower minigames add to the replayability. The graphics suck, but that was only to fit all the gameplay… though I hate the level system as opposed to the world map but then again, some levels would be unaccessable… but anyway this game owns, you should buy it and show it to your friends, but if you don’t have Gameboy Advances, the GBA/CGN Cable or friends… the replayability value drops by 1 point, it’s still a solid game.

  Although this game is very different from most Zeldas, I think it is one of the best. I like that there are many different puzzles to solve on many different boards. There are also some interesting weapons and items that can be used, but you start out each board without an item and can only pick them up one at a time. You must also start out each board with only three heart containers, but it’s really fun to look for them each time. Overall, I think this game is very fun, addicting and easy to play.

  This game is not like Wind-Waker at all. It is more like the Legend of Zelda for the NES, which I thought was great. The graphics are not super great, but if you love playing Zelda on the NES you will love this game. We didn’t play with the Game Boy Advance, but just played the one player game. It’s very addicting and fun for everyone. Don’t bother with the book, go online to find out clues for some of the more complicated puzzles.
  
  Don’t pass this one up, especially now that it’s on sale.

  This game is just a blast in multiplayer. The thing is you need 4 GBA’s and 4 link cables if you want 4 people to play. But, all my friends have that. It’s fun with multiplayer.

  At first, I didn’t know if I should get this game. I watched the IGN video review, and it said it was a good game, but single player mode isn’t as good. I decided to get it anyway, even though I don’t have a GBA or a GCN-GBA Connecitivity Cable. I first played it, and thought it would be boring, but when I got into it, I realized how fun it is. I have three other Zelda games; Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. In many ways, this game is much different from the others in the series. The first thing I noticed was that instead of setting items like in the other Zelda games, you can hold only one at a time, therefore dropping the one you already had, and having to go back to where you left it to use it again. Another major difference is that there isn’t a main overworld with dungeons in it, where you can save any time you want. The style is similar to Mario; you enter a level, beat it, and unlock the next one. You can’t save in the middle of levels, which is very annoying, because some levels (Village of the Blue Maiden in particular) take a VERY LONG TIME. I had to leave my GCN on all day for one of them. The other difference I’ll point out is there are no side quests. No overworld usually means no side quests. For example, you play through the first level, and in the middle you open a chest with a heart container in it. Now you have a maximum of five hearts. But when you start the next level, you only have four hearts again (the starting amount of hearts). Still, this game is so addicting, even though the graphics are sort of pixelly, and the gameplay style is what yo might call “old school.” Another cool part about this game that isn’t in the other Zelda games I have is that sometimes you go into a cave, and it changes to side-scrolling view (like Mario). Sometimes you can even get a jumping power, and then it’s really like Mario, jumping from platform to platform.
  
  Overall, this game is very fun. Thank you for reading.

  My wife and I have had hours of silly fun with this game, and have been made fun of by plenty of onlookers as well. We bought second-hand gbas/cables for Crystal Chronicles and were looking to see what else was out there that played similarly.

  We have not been disappointed thus far. There is nothing quite as satisfying as grabbing another players Link and either a) claiming him as your own and starting a beating chain on the now helpless Link or b) chucking him down a nearby hole to hear that wonderous scream he lets out! I laugh every time because of the way he wiggles and kicks when you are carrying him around. Priceless!

  I enjoy the competitive aspect of collecting force gems, and the “awards” you can get at the end of each stage. She likes solving the puzzles and all the different items you can use in each area. A competitive/cooperative game much in the same vein as Crystal Chronicles.

  Another high point from both of us is the graphics, that homage to the SNES Link to the Past, my personal favorite in the series. Bright colors, weird npcs, interesting areas and a great level of detail. Love it.

  If you have a significant other to game with, this is a great title. I avoided it for some time due to it’s seemingly childish appearance, but that’s part of the charm. It’s fun. It’s worth the small pricetag. Go ahead. Grab purple Link and chuck him down that hole. Good job.

  This game is seriously awesome. I never expected it to be so awesome. I was kind of disappointed when I heard that you couldn’t play this game co-op with Gamecube controllers. I ordered it anyway. I expected it to be a little bit of a disappointment. The situations can get kind of sticky, too, but other than that, Zelda fan or not, you have to have this game! It’s fun to collect force gems to restore the four sword to full power, and I love kicking enemy a$$ with a bow and arrow, fire rod, and the sword. There are also cool formations you can get into for different situations. I highly recommend it.
