The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2002, is an action game that combines two distinct experiences in one cartridge. Players explore an expansive fantasy world, completing quests and solving puzzles to rescue the kingdom from evil forces. The main objective centers around collecting powerful artifacts and defeating enemies to restore peace.
The game's pace varies between exploration and combat, balancing moments of thoughtful puzzle-solving with intense action sequences. A unique mechanic in this title is the multiplayer mode introduced in Four Swords, which allows up to four players to cooperate or compete in real-time, a feature uncommon in portable games of its era. This adds a social dimension to the classic Zelda gameplay.
Distinctive for its dual-game format, this release pairs the single-player adventure of A Link to the Past with the multiplayer-focused Four Swords, offering both solo and cooperative experiences. The use of top-down perspective and intricate level design continues the franchise's tradition while adapting it to handheld gaming.
