The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords 3DS comments

In honor of the 25th anniversary, Nintendo offers The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition. Available for download on through the DSi Shop or eShop, this version of the classic multiplayer Zelda adventure celebrates the franchise with additional new areas to play and a new single player option to enjoy.

Fans of the original game or newcomers alike can expect classic 2D multiplayer adventure as two to four players wirelessly connect and work together to rescue Princess Zelda after Link splits into four with the help of the Four Sword. You and up to three of your friends will each don a different colored tunic as you all take on the role of Link. Ensure you work together as you discover and play across four themed areas, solve numerous puzzles and defeat bosses along the way. Make sure you collect more Rupees than your friends if you want to be the overall winner after completing one of the themed areas.

However, unlike the original Game Boy Advance version, it is now possible to play the game in a brand new way as a single player. When you go solo you won't be totally alone though as an additional Link will appear beside the one you control to help you along during your adventure. What's more, there are 2 exclusive new areas to play each containing 3 new levels to complete which have been specifically made for this edition of the game. By completing the new areas, each Link will be able to unlock additional special skills. Fans of the franchise will be familiar with the Hurricane Spin and Master Sword and both return to help you on your quest.
