Product Description
Product Description
This game is the complete Super NES game PLUS an all-new four-player game that is both competitive and cooperative. In the main game, A Link to the Past, Link receives a telepathic message from Zelda, imploring him to help. Link answers the call and finds himself traveling throughout the Light World to restore peace to the land. Only when he climbs to the top of Death Mountain and discovers a mysterious shimmering tile does he realize that his quest is far from over; in fact, the tile transports him to a different, yet strangely familiar, world. He must then travel back and forth between the two linked worlds to finally defeat Ganon and bring peace to the land of Hyrule.
In the multiplayer game, The Four Swords, up to four players take on the roles of young adventurers who answer a challenge from the Triforce: They must brave the dangers of multiple dungeons in a quest to find the Master Sword. Their strength will be tested by fierce monsters, their wisdom tested by complex puzzles, and their courage tested by having to cooperate with each other to overcome obstacles.

Four Swords is extremely unique & can be fun to play with friends or family, though can be complicated to coordinate. Unfortunately, this does require multiple cartridges, unlike the (discontinued) DSi version.
Overall, this game is undoubtedly worth picking up for anyone with a GBA who enjoys adventure games.
No reason for less than 5 stars as the game stays true to the classic. In the dark world at the 3rd dungeon, I once again found myself searching for that small key to get into the door in the "Bosses" room, the one where you have to use the flame to get in. Or in the 7th dungeon trying to loop the red block you stand on around the right sequence in the dark dodging the flaming clock hand(what I call it). My childhood frustration all over again. Try finding the extra bottle located under the bridge, taking that purple chest to the light world thief, finding all the partial hearts. This is what video games are supposed to be. Low graphics, great soundtrack, solving puzzles. Love it.
Excellent for the purpose and price.
Thanks! 5-Stars! (I'd give you 10 if I could!)
This is my 2nd favorite Zelda game, right behind Ocarina of Time. For 16-bit rendition, it's epic and very time consuming. There's loads to do, and the story's very compelling. The game has a haunting atmosphere with some of its music and events, but it overall adds to the mysticism and epic quality of the long-sought "Golden Power," and the price that has been paid by those who seek it.
It's very loyal to the original edition, and for those who don't have an SNES but have a GBA, Nintendo DS or the Gamecube add-on that lets it play GBA games, it's a dream come true! Haven't played Four Swords, though I very much want to and I enjoyed Four Swords Adventures. Even without Four Swords though, I'd say this is worth buying.
This game also comes with Zelda Four Swords Adventures. The description in the manual seems interesting, but it requires that you have an actual GBA and that all your friends you want to play with have one too along with the connectors and another copy of the game. So, unless you have all that, you can't play it. But I honestly bought this game for the Link to the Past portion of it and I am thoroughly satisfied with that.
Happy Winter-een-mas. :)
ALttP is a brilliant Classic that is clearly one of the finest examples of a game that ever was created. If you do not have the original than now is a chance to play a game you won't regret. I will worn that new players easily scared by harness might find this almost revolting. Then it would be something to work up to. I was relatively new when I first played it but I used IGN walk throughs to help me. If you think classics are outrageously hard bits of perfect button pressing then I will say partly. But This is more than that. For one I found the incredible sense of exploration dominant in here. Then there is the villages... etc.
So what if you already have The SNES ALttP? What does four swords offer? First of you need two+ of these cartridges, two+ gameboys, one+ GB advance link cable and one+buddyies. If you have that consider getting the game. On it's own it is a reasonable game. Fun but with plenty of shortcomings. If you are devoted to playing all the Zelda games that it is ok. If not than I can't promise satisfaction though it still is a winner. Otherwise If you have not bought the original ALttP that it is a wonderful extra!
I didn't get to play 4 swords due to only having one player, so my review only applies to L2P. Overall even if you have only played the 3D Zelda games I believe you will enjoy this game too. Zelda is such a great series that even playing a game (the original on SNES) developed over 20 years ago, it's still incredible!

Quite a challenging game, but it does function perfectly. I've had no issues whatsoever as of yet.
Would purchase from this seller again.

A link to the past : Un zelda que je ne connaissait pas mais qui est important pour la compréhension de l'ere du déclin puisque les deux tout premiers jeux zelda lui succèdent sénaristiquement.
Four sword : Jeu multijoueur, malheureusement, je ne peu pas encore y jouer, car il me faut d'abbord trouver 3 autres personnes qui le possèdent pour ce faire. Mais le produit a été acheté en connaissance de cause.
