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*. # Related Posts - [[Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Thoughts & Impressions#Fast Software?

Very slick and a cool way to make this multiplayer feature accessible to modern audiences. - # Versions - *The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition* DSiWare # Miscellaneous - [GameChat & Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics – Nintendo Treehouse: Live](https://youtube.com/watch?v=CEwM94z2oE0&t=76)
