    This is the worst zelda game imo (besides the games that shall not be named) it’s neat to see Wind Waker bosses in 2D and the story is good. But with such a large barrier to play it with 4 players. A GameCube, 4 GameBoy advances, and the adaptors to go with them. It’s more likely you’ll be playing the game alone which isn’t a great experience as all the puzzles are multiplayer focused.

It was a neat idea on paper but in practice it’s a mess of wires and usually results in turning off the game in favor of Mario kart, Mario party, or smash.… Expand

    Every single moment of Four Swords is magically familiar and every single moment is dazzlingly fresh...Whether being experienced in the competitive, co-operative cackle of multiplay, or the captivating atmosphere of singleplayer, the extraordinary virtues of the game itself remain the same.

    One sure-fire classic in the making, one surprisingly entertaining competition section and an average battle game...Go on, treat yourself to a slice of 2D magic and show that once again, some of the best multiplayer experiences don't have to be online. [JPN Import]
