The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords was a collaborative development effort between Nintendo and Capcom, the process supervised by Minoru Narita, Yoichi Yamada, Takashi Tezuka and Yoshikazu Yamashita from Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development.
Zelda and Link return the Four Sword back in its pedestal. After Vaati is thoroughly weakened, he is trapped in the Four Sword. After finding the three Great Fairies and entering the palace the Links battle Vaati. As the game begins, the four Links are tasked with finding three Great Fairies, who together will grant them access to Vaati's palace. Link pulls the Four Sword out, inadvertently creating three copies of himself that fight alongside him. Link is encountered by three fairies who instruct Link to pull the Four Sword out.
After Zelda explains its history and the creature sealed within it, the creature named Vaati breaks free, capturing Zelda to marry her. Taking place before the events of Ocarina of Time, the prologue shows Link and Zelda approaching a sword in a pedestal, called the Four Sword. The plot of A Link to the Past is the same as the original Super NES version, in which the player assumes the role of Link as he journeys to save Hyrule, defeat the wizard Agahnim and the demon king Ganon, and claim the Triforce to rescue Princess Zelda and the descendants of the Seven Sages. When both games are completed, players may access a dungeon called "Palace of the Four Sword" in A Link to the Past.įurther information: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past § Story For example, when players learn a new sword move, it is transferred between games. Some features are linked between the two games. Creating a file for the Game Boy Advance game will give players a profile in both A Link to the Past and Four Swords. This idea was expanded on in the form of a talking hat named Ezlo in a later game, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. An original item called the Gnat Hat appears, causing Link to shrink and be able to access areas he could not normally reach. Unlike in A Link to the Past where Link has an inventory of items he has collected, Four Swords only allows a player to have one item at any given time, switching them out at item pedestals. Once defeated, they will return to the hub area.
The third level is not a traditional dungeon, but rather a boss battle. The dungeons have three levels to them, with a portal at the end of each level the first to reach it will be rewarded with a Heart Container, an item that increases the player's health meter. Once all players are connected, player one chooses one of the four stages available to play on. All players are given respective colors – player one is green, player two is red, player three is blue, and player four is purple. The player with the most rupees at the end of a level wins a special prize, though all rupees are shared together in the long run.
