# Summary
A GBA port of *[[The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]*, but also packaged with the first multiplayer *Zelda* game, *Four Swords*. Team up with friends and work together to solve puzzles, but also compete to collect the most rupees. This would pave the way for *[[The Legend of Zelda - Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]* and *Tri Force Heroes*.
# Acquisition
I bought this alongside *[[The Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]* at a local game shop chain.
# Memories
I borrowed this version of the game from a kid down the street as a kid. I think I got stuck around the third temple; lost in the overworld of what to do next. I don't think I have ever beaten *[[The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]*, but I did 100% *A Link Between Worlds*.

- I talked about the Nintendo Treehouse live stream where they played the game using GameChat. Very slick and a cool way to make this multiplayer feature accessible to modern audiences.
