four sword was some kind of minigamish zelda, and ofc zelda3 was one of the best zelda game evar, but yeah, four sword was one of the worse zelda game ever, and sadly the only multiplayer one lol


i took this from ign.

On the surface, it looks like Nintendo went the cheap way out by simply converting the admittedly outstanding Super NES adventure The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to the Game Boy Advance as the system's first official Zelda product, pretty much pixel-for-pixel in graphics and note-for-note in sound. It's a fantastic game in its own right, but the GBA has proven time and again that it has significantly more potential in capabilities than the Super NES ever did, and a conversion of an early generation 16-bit title hardly impresses on a technical scale. But put that thinking aside, because the developers didn't just put out a simple port for Zelda fans; the secondary selling point of the game cartridge, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is a deep, thoroughly designed, and absolutely fun multiplayer experience that's based around the established Zelda gameplay mechanics. It's here that the cartridge really shines, and makes the purchase of the game an absolute necessity for Zelda fanatics and GBA owners alike.

Features

* Accurate portable conversion of the SNES A Link to the Past
* Multiplayer-only original adventure Four Swords
* Cartridge save (three slots)
* Link cable support for four players (multiple cartridge)
* Future connection with Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker GameCube
* Only for Game Boy Advance

All Zelda fans should know exactly what they're getting into with the Game Boy Advance conversion of A Link to the Past. The original game released back in 1993 for the Super NES is still revered as one of the best games released in the series, even among the more recent 3D releases on the Nintendo 64 system. The game takes place way early in the admittedly wonky Legend of Zelda chronology. As the elfish adventurer Link, players head off into the huge overworld to rescue the princess Zelda from the castle dungeon; as players save her from the lock-down, they learn that an evil wizard Agahnim has put the land under a cursed spell, and it's up to Link to grab the Master Sword and break it. But anyone who is familiar with the story, or Legend of Zelda games in general know that this is only the beginning of the adventure...

The Game Boy Advance game is a 100% accurate port of the Super NES game, right down to the pixel.



it is a link to the past, the game is not one of the worst.

He may be talking about the crappy Gamecube one (It was ok, but seriously lacking)

i made a mistake, sorry about that xD
after i reread what i posted i realized i was wrong.

was four swords only available for multiplayer?
when i use to play the cartridge i dont remember getting an option to choose between games, i just thought they put a link to the past on GBA.
