Zelda Four Swords Is Not Just Multiplayer
Nintendo announces more details on the DS and 3DS version of Zelda: Four Swords


The mysterious downloadable DS version of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords will have an entirely new single-player mode, Nintendo announced today.

Until now, all we knew about Four Swords was that it's an updated version of the four-player adventure that originally sat alongside A Link to the Past on the Game Boy Advance - except this time we can play through it without those ancient and troublesome Link Cables. New stages and abilities will unlock once the main quest is done.

You can download Four Swords on DS, DSi or from the 3DS eShop from the 28th September until the 20th February next year.

Playing it as intended through its original release was a headache to set up, as you needed an avalanche of equipment to make it happen – four Game Boy Advance systems, four copies of the Link to the Past/Four Swords cartridge, three GBA Link Cables and enough friends to be able to make sense of it all.

Two years later the GameCube sequel Four Swords Adventures brought even more of a rat's nest into your living room, as you tried to get those same friends to come back again with their GBAs and invest in the new console, the new disc and four new GBA-to-GameCube cables (which were, of course, different from the old Link Cables).
