The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition for Nintendo 3DS

About The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition for Nintendo 3DS

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition retells the story of the Four Sword, a blade that splits Link into four copies of himself. The wind sorcerer Vaati has escaped his prison and carried Princess Zelda away, so the four Links set out together to reseal him. This anniversary edition of the Game Boy Advance multiplayer adventure adds a full single player mode, so one person can guide two Links and enjoy the whole quest alone.

Teamwork sits at the heart of every stage. The Links pull giant blocks together, toss each other across pits and stand on switches in careful order. Rupees are shared, which turns friendly play into a cheerful scramble for treasure between helping hands. The edition adds new stages inspired by earlier Zelda games, rendered in the styles of the classics. Short levels and score chasing make it easy to replay a favorite stage just to beat your best rupee haul. It remains one of the most purely cheerful multiplayer ideas Nintendo ever made for handhelds.

Here is the honest buying picture. New digital purchases are no longer possible, because the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023. That leaves the physical cartridge as the real route to The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and retailers still stock or resell copies for collectors and new players alike. People who bought the game digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games, exactly as they always could.

Four heroes are better than one, especially when the rupees start shining.
