comment |
The eleventh game in The Legend of Zelda series was a sequel to 2002's Four Swords and was released in 2004. Like its predecessor, it focused on multiplayer gaming for up to four players, and was much more linear in design than the average Zelda title (though the areas themselves had room to explore). A key component of the gameplay was the use of the GCN-GBA link cable which was required for multiplayer (though single player mode did not require it, instead putting an emulated GBA screen on the TV itself). The action of the game was split between the TV screen for the main areas, where all players could see what was going on, and the GBA screens, which represented indoor areas as well as the Dark World, where each player could only see their immediate surroundings. Unlike the previous game, all four Links were always present no matter how many actual players there were - the excess Links would follow the players and could be placed into formations.The story is a sequel to Four Swords and features the return of Vaati. According to the Hyrule Historia, this is currently the chronologically last game in the "child" timeline, following The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. While Zelda is attempting to strengthen the seal on Vaati, Shadow Link kidnaps Zelda and the six shrine maidens, forcing Link to pull the Four Sword from its pedestal and release Vaati once more. Over the course of the game, it's revealed that Shadow Link was actually a minion of Ganon, who is attempting to cover the land in darkness with Vaati's help.In addition to the cooperative multiplayer mode (known as "Hyrulean Adventure"), there is also a competitive battle mode, "Shadow Battle", in which the Links fight against each other. Of course, it's not like they weren't fighting already...The Japanese version also includes a mode called Navi Trackers, that has the Links hunting down stamps held by Tetra's pirates in a maze. Tetra is fully voiced, and would announce various gameplay elements on the TV, and due to the way the Japanese works, she'd actually state the name the players input. (Limited to Two characters and a gender selection). Originally titled Tetra's Tackers it was announced as its own game before later being moved to be included with Four Swords Adventures under its final title. While work on an English version was started (With the "names" being limited to a single letter resulting in Mr. A and Ms. B and so on) it was never released. The Japanese version was also released in Korea, unedited aside from packaging.The game has a manga by Akira Himekawa. |

Multi-Mook Melee: The game loves to show off just how many sprites it can put on screen at once (if the image above wasn't any indication). Pretty much once a level, there will be an area that closes itself off and proceeds to throw dozens of enemies at you at once. |

comment |
Continuity Porn: Averted. Deleted text found on the game disc indicates that this game was supposed to retell the Back Story of A Link to the Past, as items like the Master Sword would have shown up, but you wouldn't be able to use them. Shigeru Miyamoto nixed this idea late in development because it would have distracted from the straightforwardness of the gameplay. Hyrule Historia eventually showed that it takes place some time after Twilight Princess, in a separate branch of the timeline. |

The Trickster: Shadow Link, by running around with Pegasus Boots, causing earthquakes with a Magic Hammer, throwing giant bombs around that kill anything not underwater or inside a cave, or even causing fires with a Fire Rod. That last one is even plot-relevant as the stage "Kakariko Village" shows the eponymous village on fire as a result. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: Although it exists in a separate timeline, there is no reason to assume it does not occur in the same location and year of Hyrule as A Link to the Past did (or very well near it). Possibly Justified as it stars Toon Link, but Hyrule Castle looks like it was lifted out of The Wind Waker. The level design of Stage 2-1 ("The Coast") is reminiscent of Toronbo Shores from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Both areas have coconuts dotting their beaches and have common fauna (e.g. Sea Urchins, Sand Crabs, and Octoroks). The Eastern and Desert Temples resemble their counterparts from A Link to the Past, while the Tower Of Flames stands in for the Tower Of Hera. The Temple Of Darkness on the World Map resembles Ganon's Castle. Force Gems resemble the Triforce pieces from the animated series. Spirit Tracks would highlight the resemblance even further by depicting them as upside-down. |

Squashed Flat: Players can flatten another player using the hammer or while riding a horse. The flattened player can't do anything until they grow back to normal size. A more amusing variant occurs if a player uses a cannon in one of the side-scrolling areas but crash into a ceiling; they flatten almost completely and slowly float downward, back and forth like paper before growing back to normal. |

But Thou Must!: Zelda goes from genuinely helpful to grabbing Idiot Balls. During the escape from the Collapsing Lair in the last stage of the game, Zelda repeatedly stops moving to... talk to you, and will not budge from that spot unless you go up to her so she can speak. She does it no less than three times at the end, the last of which is her saying "There's the exit!" just in time for the floor to collapse under everyone. It's obvious that the dev team couldn't come up with a better way to throw you into the Final Boss fight. |

Grievous Harm with a Body: Players can bludgeon enemies with items that they are carrying so they do not have to drop them in order to fight back. This works even if the thing the player is carrying is another player. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_6638c7f7 |
comment |
Stealth-Based Mission: The Infiltration of Hyrule Castle. Like in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, it's beneficial to get captured the first time (and a second time later in the level) to get important items. The game even tricks you into being caught by placing a pot in the first area with searchlights that you'd instinctively smash, causing the searchlights to center on where they heard it. This also teaches the players that they can throw pots as a diversion. |

Excuse Plot |
| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_70d8269d |
comment |
Excuse Plot: In the first game, collecting the Rupees had no real relevance to the plot, so Four Swords Adventures replaces Rupees with "Force Gems", which the player is required to (collectively) acquire enough to empower the Four Sword; otherwise, they cannot break the barrier at the end of every level, and will have to go back to get some more. Originally, the game was going to have more in-depth plot involving the Imprisoning War, but Miyamoto suggested using a simpler one. |

Equipment Upgrade: Great Fairies can upgrade all of Link's weapons save for the sword (which is powered up from collecting Force Gems) and the lantern (which lacks a powered up form altogether). This will give them secondary effects like the shovel being able to detect items hidden underground or the slingshot becoming a Spread Shot. |

Comic-Book Adaptation: The manga, written by Akira Himekawa, which expanded on the narrow story and gave every Link a different personality, explaining that the sword's elements split up Link's personality as well, not just his body. Becomes Fridge Logic when you realize that is more of an Alternate Character Interpretation, since Green Link retains the original Link's personality without change and the character traits displayed by Violet Link are not present in the original Link at all. |

Meaningless Lives: Since they really only kick in when the player-controlled Link(s) are all down simultaneously, the fairies, which you can get several of at the end of every level, can really pile up. Lives are even more trivial in multiplayer mode, since a dead player will automatically revive after 10 seconds with full health. |

Foreshadowing |
| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 |
comment |
Foreshadowing: There are a couple of subtle hints that Ganon is the true antagonist, not Vaati. The first is the fact that Shadow Link is encountered before Vaati is unleashed; in fact, his appearance is what prompts you to draw the Four Sword in the first place. Meaning something fishy was already happening. The second clue is a Knight of Hyrule telling you it was NOT Vaati that cursed him and the others into Big Dark Stalfos. The third clue is the boss fight at the end of the first level - Phantom Ganon, fought atop Hyrule Castle. Considering how the Dark Mirror was evidently used to create Shadow Link, it can be surmised that it was also used to create Phantom Ganon. This implication is strengthened by the fact that Phantom Ganon returns as the boss of the Temple of Darkness, immediately outside of the chamber where the Dark Mirror was previously kept. |

Mundane Made Awesome: The Boomerang quickly makes a name for itself when it can pick up Force Gems that are just out of reach, but it becomes this trope when someone shows that it can even pick up the Big Green Force Gem (worth 1,000) in "The Field" that you would normally get after coming out of the correct hidden hole in the ground to reach the end of the stage. Especially if you didn't know that it's too heavy for Tingle to carry off anyway. Overlaps with Fridge Brilliance as most people wouldn't have thought of that in the first place. "Fuck you Tingle" indeed! |

comment |
Suddenly Voiced: In the Japan and Korea-only "Navi Trackers" mini-game, Tetra and her pirates are featured with full Japanese voice-acting. This is the only example of full voice-acting in the entire history of the series before Breath Of The Wild (the CDi games having been expunged from the record). The cancelled English version even had the voice acting finished before it was axed. |

Color-Coded Multiplayer: The four Links are each colored differently, with Green Link taking first player. Having fewer than 4 players will give the other Links to players 1 and 2, depending on if it's two or three players. |

Anti-Frustration Features: If you don't have enough Force Gems to power up the Four Sword and break the seals at the end of the level, you have the option of traveling back in time to the beginning of the level. Once you power up the Four Sword, you're automatically sent back to the end of the level, now able to complete it. |

Company Cross References: The Dark World is not the corrupted Sacred Realm from A Link to the Past, but is a sort of other layer of reality whose inhabitants appear shadowy in the normal world and area details aren't one-to-one. |

| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_df582b0b |
comment |
Continuity Snarl: Seemingly, when it was released. Ganondorf's inclusion causes a lot of problems for what is otherwise an easily-arguable case for the series only having one Ganon. However, Hyrule Historia suggests in its possible Zelda timeline that this is a reincarnated Ganondorf, coming back after his death in Twilight Princess and regaining his dark powers via the Trident. So in a way, he's the same Ganon yet isn't at the same time. |

Start of Darkness |
| | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (Video Game) / int_e0040f41 |
comment |
Start of Darkness: Another origin story for Ganon, separate from the one already in Ocarina of Time. This is because this Ganondorf is the original one's reincarnation, and he's lost all his former dark powers until he obtains the Trident of Power. In original planning, this was supposed to be the backstory to A Link to the Past, entailing how Ganondorf there became Ganon, and took over the Sacred Land, following the events of the Child Timeline in OoT. Miyamoto nixed that one at what looks like halfway through production, since you can see a lot of the continuity nods and story ideas there for this being the Imprisoning War. |

comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The Links can't directly hurt each other with their swords, but once you get Bombs, Fire Rods, and bottomless pits thrown into the mix, you can start causing damage to the other Links. In the case of Bombs and Fire Rods, it also makes them drop a few Force Gems for you to steal. Never mind that picking up someone's trailing Link will recruit it to your team. Maybe you can agree to have one each in two player, but in three player, everyone's going to be fighting for Purple Link. |
