oh boy I can't wait to boot four swords up, be told I don't have enough friends, and listen to the title theme of Four Swords, just like my childhood!
Real
When you just boot it up to watch the beginning cutscene 🥲 lol
I was the same no one except me had a GameBoy Advance those times.
dude same!!!
😂😂 Same dude. I'm just enjoying the intro and music, cause I can't play it, don't have enough friends 😂
Can't wait to be playing Four Swords with the homies and "accidentally" throwing my friends into danger just like I did playing Four Sword Adventures as a kid
A true NSMBW moment.
64 likes nice 😎
Same
Finally, I can play the version where Link yells all the time
With the undeniably canon translation, bonus dungeon, and the rupee giving glowing rocks later seen in ALBW
You mean every game since OOT onwards?
HYAH.
Best version
So I assume you have friends to play it with, then? Lucky. I'll just have to force my brother to play with me. The Legend of Zelda: Two Swords.
Real ones remember the free four swords anniversary edition on the ds
lol yeah, I’m pretty sure it was free right?
@@kakakrabbypatty1234 It was. I still have it downloaded on my 3DS
I still have it
@@kakakrabbypatty1234I have it on my 3DS, so it must have been free cause I can't think of why I would buy it
I was obsessed with that as a kid and then I never really played any other Zelda game lol
All we need now is the GC Four Swords.
Omg yes
That would be dope
Problem for me is I'm missing those 3 other friends from back in the day. That's what made that game special for me honestly.
Yes, then we’ll have the complete Four Sword trilogy on Switch (Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, and The Minish Cap).
Imagine if that god an HD remaster for the switch
I don't know why but because the player icons are of, Mario, Luigi, Peach, And Bowser, I can't help but imagine the four getting really frustrated with each other while playing and that gets a chuckle out of me.
“BOWSER I SWEAR TO-“
-everyone else
ESPECIALLY bowser, he’d probably throw his pro controller at the screen and burn it XD
Bowser would intentionally keep throwing Mario and Luigi into pits, let's be real.
Remake the Gamecube Four Swords game in HD with online multiplayer for the Switch. Do it!
YESSS!
and a sequel. If they do so then they'd not only get my money, but also my tears
Be glad this exists bruh
This is a blessing
This makes it the last zelda game to release on Nintendo Switch Online as all of the NES, SNES, N64, GB/GBC, and GBA games are all on the service. The rest are likely going to be ports, remasters or remakes.
Zelda Games on Switch: The Legend of Zelda (NSO), Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NSO), A Link to the Past (NSO), Link's Awakening (NSO (DX) and Remake), Ocarina of Time (NSO Expansion Pack), Majora's Mask (NSO Expansion Pack), Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages (NSO), Four Swords (NSO Expansion Pack), The Minish Cap (NSO Expansion Pack), Skyward Sword (Remaster), Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom.
Zelda Games not on Switch: The Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes.
Zelda Games coming to Switch: Echoes of Wisdom
They need to port the CD-i games. Cowards.
It's amazing how many Zelda games are playable on Switch though. I still want WW & TP HD though.
"The Legends of Zelda: Four Swords" was the only Zelda game I've played in my life. What's even more crazy is that it was not only the 25th Anniversary version on the Nintendo DSi, it was free. Can't wait to play it on the bigger screen!
Four Sword Adventures for the Gamecube is so underrated, and limited by the fact you needed the GBA. It really deserves a remaster with enhancements such as online play and not needing a GBA for second screen.
Playing Zelda Four Swords with another student on the bus rides to school and back home from back then were the best times of owning a GBA. Good times.
My siblings and I bonded so much over this game it’s definitely a core memory so I’m glad to see it again! There’s four of us so we always played as a certain color and we’re actually all getting matching tattoos per our color we played as !
It's nice to see Toon Link again
That's what Wind Waker Link is called
@@LightStreak567 And the Four Sword, Four Sword Adventure, Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, and Tri-Force Heroes Links.
I never considered this game to be toon link or minish cap@@DarkLink1996.
@@DarkLink1996. I prefer Cat Link xD
@@DarkLink1996.Bro where do u see zelda? In nickelodeon or what? Toon link is the link from WindWaker, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit tracks
Four Swords Adventures port when?? 😏👀
That’s what I wanna know. I’ve played the original to death but barely touched Adventures (thanks insane GBA link cable setup).
Finally more than 5 people can experience that darned bonus dungeon provided they got a few friends.
Not to mention a whole mainline Zelda game that’s been inaccessible for over a decade if you didn’t have two original copies of the game, two Gameboy advances, and a multiplayer cable. The last time it was playable beyond the original means was Four Swords anniversary edition released on the DSi and 3DS, but they eventually took it down (and now the bonus content from that version is lost forever unless you were lucky enough to download it).
Thank you, Nintendo! From 1985 to now been gaming on Nintendo consoles and having a blast.
Now if only i can find 3 people to play with.
🙋🏻♂️
I’ll play!
Wanna play?
@@BirdiePlaysYT sure.
Mind if I think it over, and perhaps join you as well?
My heart flutters every time I see zelda classics and new. Thank God for these games
Finally Four Swords comes to switch. Shame it can't be played alone.
Bro, that defeats the point of it being multiplayer.
@@Z-Man7 yes, but also keep in mind that the sequel Four Swords Adventures had a single player and multiplayer mode, which allowed you to still play the game if you didn't have people to play with. even the spiritual successor Triforce Heroes let you play the game alone if you wanted to, although it was brutally difficult in single player which incentivized you to play with friends.
@@Z-Man7 Yes, but not everyone has friends to play this with.
Yes. But on the bright side, it'll be a little easier than having to do it the original way.
@@Z-Man7If the game has to force you to play multiplayer, the multiplayer sucks.
A Link to the past GBA was my first Zelda Game, and I remember the day I bought it. Well I was 7-8 Years old so actually my parents bought it, but I chose it. And after 22 years I will finally be able to play Four Swords, that was always impossible because I had no friends, and especially none with a GBA and Zelda.
I still have this game, and I remember when it came out and I played with my friends.
I played this during high school was such a blast
Four Swords Adventures would be a perfect fit for Switch natively
I’m curious how they would handle the multiplayer. The original required each player to have a second screen on a Gameboy Advance for when they enter houses, caves, etc.
@@WideMouth
Honestly, I'd be content with just the old emulator experience, where it's five screens in one x)
Explain how? I love four swords and four swords adventure but i find it really hard to see four swords adventure being ported. You need a main screen everyone looks at plus the GBA screen you look at individually
@@VonFirflirch I suppose they could have it just be the main screen, but whenever a player enters a house/cave a small screen appears in one of the corners. When three players enter a house/cave it basically would become a four-way split screen, and if all player are inside then it could become four-way split screen with the overworld as a tiny screen in the middle
I swear this game's only problem is that it released one generation too early. That's its only problem. If it released on the Wii, DS, 3DS or the Switch it would've been an instant hit. That's really sad bru
The nostalgia is hitting me hard. Me and my sisters played the original 4 Swords way back when about 20 years ago now as little kids. Hopefully I can get some friends to play this with me.
I remember my cousin had this one and we were both interested in Four Swords. But I didn't have a GBA so all we could do was watch the intro only. Hope to finally try it out after all these years!
I didn't know you could play locally (EDIT: they meant local wireless with multiple consoles 💀)! I'm about to do the saddest playthrough ever... But it's necessary in order to unlock a new special Dungeon in A Link to the Past only available in this version of the game!
How can you unlock the new dungeon, do you have to beat all the game first?
@@isxanab yeah you have to beat Four Swords. I don't remember if you have to beat ALttP too but the new Dungeon is in the Dark World
You have to play multiplayer to play four swords.
@@fernando98322 Sounds like a drag, Wish there was a mod for It. I could start with four swords, never got the cable to play It with friends.
@@isxanab you can glitch into the Dungeon but it's complicated iirc
GBA lttp was my first experience with the game and i love seeing it again with the oot voice
Anyone down to play foursword?
One of the best parts of the presentation.
So no four sword adventure ? The game would be PERFECT for the Switch
Glad to see Four Swords is playable online. Never got to experience it because I didn't know anyone else who had the game.
how can I add you 😮
My very first Zelda game! I used to play Four Swords with my father! I can finally hope to 100% this game this time!
When I got this game back in the day, I couldn't play Four Swords because there was no single player mode and I couldn't get 3 friends together that also owned a copy of the game. Good thing the Anniversary Edition released years later on DS/3DS which added a single player mode. At least now with online being a thing, maybe I can find 3 other people to play the original Four Swords with. Also this version of A Link to the Past removes the secret room named after that guy.
Yay, my favorite version of A Link to the Past is back! :D
I have such good memories of aLttP on GBA.
If it wasn't for the lesser music quality, this version would be a complete upgrade over the SNES version.
Is the Palace of the Four Sword unlockable? and is the special music used fpr the Quest Log?
wow this is a dream come true finally i can play the four swords
Actually got a chance of playing this game for the first time ever. I had it back in 2002. but never had anyone to play it with.
Will there be a difference between the PAL and NTSC version like in the original? Like for the credit song, after the Palace of the Four Swords, the song is different in PAL or in NTSC
How do you do online play? Is it friends list only?
Hey Nintendo, CONGRATULATIONS. You managed to match the runtime of my fan-made trailer (1:28). I'm amazed and I love it.
Nice to see Four Swords getting a similar treatment as Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Before this re-release, you could only play this on an actual GBA with 3 other people while tethered to that Link Cable.
4 Swords remains one of the only mainline games I haven’t beaten yet. I’m so ready.... once I can get everyone together to play that is
One of my FAVORITE Gameboy games has officially hit the Switch and I couldn't be happier! One day I hope we can get something like Four Swords Adventures from the GameCube onto it as well!
That was lucky to play link to the past on the Nintendo switch online which was the super Nintendo version, of course. And years ago, I was super lucky to play the GameCube version of four swords.
NO WAY FOUR SWORDS IVE BEEN WAITING TO REPLAY THIS GAME IM SO HAPPY ITD BEEN 10 YEARS
Being a gamer as a kid with 3 other gamer brothers; this was great and we didn't even have to fight for our link colors.
I love that we can play Foue Swords online
Just played&beat A Link To The Past (on SNES Switch) for the first time a few days ago... I can't even look at gameplay without tearing up. I felt nostalgia while playing and it was all new to me... 10/10. Changed my life, i'm not even kidding! Four swords looks interesting but ALTTP set the bar so high for me.
how can I add you
Considering the online multiplayer capabilities of this game, this is a smart decision to release the game now! It also means more players have the chance to try the additional content you could unlock!
The GBA version is unfortunately missing some levels that were added in the DS port:
- 3 levels based on ALTTP, Link’s Awakening, & Zelda 1
- 3 Difficult final challenge levels
Still a great game nonetheless, and the GBA version has some exclusive content in ALTTP that can be unlocked from Four Swords anyways.
I hope I can actually find someone to play four swords with me because you have to be able to beat that game in order to unlock everything, including an extra special bonus dungeon in the Link to the Past side
how can I add you😮
Funny. I just replayed this version of ALTTP last week on GBA.
Four sword was my favorite!!!
Oh Man This is gonna be so good!
So happy to have Four Swords on NSO :)
They gotta port the GC four swords and make it local multiplayer.
Still have my Game Boy advance version, me and my friend linked up to beat four swords to unlock the fore Uber bosses in the pyramid , you get to fight the first 4 bosses of the Dark World but their Ubers then if you beat them you get to fight 4 shadow links at once I feel bad for anyone that got to miss out on that on the Game Boy Advance version
WHY CAN’T YOU JUST SELL IT DIGITALLY?!
Crazy to think that four swords GBA is now an easily accessible online multiplayer game
What a time to be alive
I'm loving this week's machine gun of games
Childhood returns
My fav of the Zelda’s ❤
This is, in my honest opinion, the definitive version of 1 of the best games in the Zelda series! With the first ever Four Swords game thrown in to boot!
This really is a great game to play with people online. A really good Co-petitive game.
Does anyone know if I can play this with my friends online if I'm the only one who has the game?
FINALLY. the best thing out of the direct
And with that, you can easily gain access to the Palace of the Four Swords once you play Multiplayer.
With the online play functionality, maybe I'll finally be able to play Four Swords.
My favorite part about the actuality of this game is that you can only play Link to the Past. In order to play Four swords, you have to have somebody else who also has the same stupid overpriced package and wants to play it karma is what I'm guessing. I don't know why they wouldn't have reworked this to be a solo thing as well
I still have this game
Now, this is what I’m talking about!!! Two of the most underrated Zelda’s ever. 😎🗡️😎🗡️
This is amazing! Play two games that you probably already own or have digitally bought in older consoles now on the switch, just pay a subscription and you are ready to go! And don’t worry Nintendo will make sure you can’t play them on the next console since you don’t own any license here… I love Nintendo and their customer love.
Oh, I can finally play the only mainline Zelda I haven’t beaten yet.
I hope that when they say "up to 4 players", that means that singleplayer is an option like the anniversary edition I didn't get to finish on a friend's DS back in the day.
Nope even back then on the GBA you could NEVER play 4 Swords via SINGLE PLAYER mode at all it was a 2 player only game as THE MINIMUM required but your not really missing anything the Palace of the 4 Swords dungeon just has EVERY Dark World Link to the past boss in it + the 4 colors version of Link from 4 Swords as the LAST boss of it.
I wonder how Palace of the Four Sword will work. Will we still need to beat Four Swords to unlock it?
realm of memories?
dont think it's in the OG game
@@akeyscoot9546
Palace of the four swords is a Game boy advance exclusive dungeon scene. In A Link to the past it was placed in the corner of the pyramid, but you can't actually act with that until you beat four swords.
I used to have the official strategy guide from 2002 and it was the only way I knew anything about four Swords past the title screen because I never been able to hook them up to multiplayer
After seeing this, I do wonder if we'll see the gamecube version/DS version of 4 swords get released on Switch someday.
i didn't know that ALTP was on the Gameboy advanced until last week's Direct
This was long overdue. I kinda expected this to happen when the DS came out. Put the ALttP/FS cartridge in the GBA slot, and then be able to play with people online.
Well if this becomes a success, I hope we get Four Swords Adventures on Switch too (the often forgotten Gamecube Zelda game). If I were Nintendo, I would release The Wind Waker/Four Sword Adventures/Twilight Princess HD Pack for the Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary, in 2026. And I hope it'd still be for the Switch if the Switch 2 is indeed backwards compatible.
People who wants Wind Waker HD or remastered:
I have never played this version of the game before. Besides the new multiplayer side mode, has anything else been altered in the main campaign?
There’s a new dungeon only unlocked after beating Four Swords.
Just the last maps of the Ice Palace itself on the SNES game you COULD beat the 6th Dark world dungeon first and use the Red Cane from its Big Key Chest on a Switch in the Ice Palace itself making it easier to reach the Ice Palace boss room.
The GBA version placed that Same Switch that its impossible for Link to reach that spot normally and USE the Red Cane on it on the GBA version so yes the Ice Palace last maps require to place a Blue colored Ice block on that same Ice Palace Switch the HARD way.
Online or locally that is amazing!
Toon Link’s true debut!
There is something I don’t quite get since I don’t own a switch yet, do you need the remade console(if there is one cuz I think I saw one once), or can you play these on the switch itself?
There are currently three models of the Switch available, and they all play all of the games. In order of cheapest to most expensive: Switch Lite, standard Switch, Switch OLED. The standard Switch has an LCD screen and comes with a dock so you can play on your TV and detachable controllers. The Switch OLED has a much better OLED screen, improved speakers, improved kickstand, and more internal storage compared to the standard model. It also comes with a dock and detachable controllers for TV play. The Switch Lite is smaller than the other models, has an LCD panel similar to the standard model, and can only be played in handheld mode due to not having a compatible dock and the controls not being detachable.
@@isbragg might save up for an OLED unless Switch 2 gets announced, along with this, there are quite a few good amount of games in intrigued about, and I certainly do hope all Metroid games reach the switch because I’ve been dying to play the whole saga to get ready for the new Prime
@@sf936 The only Metroid games missing on Switch at the moment are Prime 2 and 3, Other M, and all of the spin-offs on DS and 3DS (Prime Pinball, Prime Hunters, Federation Force). And Samus Returns if you count remakes, but its original game (Metroid II: Return of Samus) is on Switch.
@@isbragg yeah, the ones I’m still expecting are Samus Returns, other M(so underrrated) and prime 2 and 3, though I’m hoping those last two get remasters like the first one did since I’ve heard good things about it
I’ve been waiting for this since the Ds era. Yes I know the dsi 25th anniversary edition
But hopefully this game gets the respect it deserves (Nintendo make a combo pack remake of this and the GameCube title )
Best port ever you can’t deny
Remember when this game was free every January on the Nintendo 3DS shop?
Nintendo, please update it to play with people on the same console
Legend of Zelda unstoppable
Four swords online is gonna be sweet!
As a Link to the Past expert I had the gba version for a long time never beat it till the GBA version came to switch yesterday, and I’ve played the original game on Super Nintendo a thousand times and you know what the GBA version wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be, now I’d still grab the Super Nintendo version anyday but the GBA version was like a compliment to the original masterpiece
Can we get Four Swords 25th Anniversary please
Should’ve done that instead of this, not everyone has the expansion pack
@@EazyEricNah, this version is better as a whole because it includes and works with ALttP. Playing both unlocks stuff in both and gives us arguably the best version of ALttP with extra content, including the multiplayer itself 😂
If only it was split screen or single player
I wished they release the DS version.
You must not have been paying attention it is split screen
@FlyinMonke But it's not single player. I can't believe Nintendo expects us to actually have friends who are interested in playing this.
@@FlyinMonke No its not
We’ve been waiting for a rerelease of Four Swords since the Anniversary Edition.
It's like they added four swords anniversary edition and finally added an online mode.
Hope they port Four Swords Adventures to Switch as well. Its great in coop.
How do you get to the 4 swords part? I booted it up and it was just A Link to the Past.
Edit: I had to start a game before I could see the option for the other game when I booted it again.
There’s a game selection screen after selecting a save file.
A physical collection of some older Zelda games would be nice.
Nintendo you should at least put this on the NSO with random drop ins
I’m not able to play this game it keeps saying “waiting” to link to other systems? Can this only be played on multiple switches locally? How do you do online?
.
Oh I have that game.😃
This is my first Legend of Zelda game.
