This sorcerer was known as Vaati, and it seemed that no one could stop him. Eventually an adventurer appeared who was able to defeat Vaati. This adventurer carried with him the four sword which caused him to be split into four beings, and by working together the four beings were able to seal Vaati deep within the earth. But now Vaati has escaped, and the task of defeating him again has fallen to Link!
This action adventure game is played from a top down point of view. There are a variety of often maze-like lands to explore (some above ground and others below) as well as a variety of enemies to defeat. Since Link is now in possession of the four sword, there are four Links on the screen. In order to complete the various stages, the four Links will often need to work together in order to solve puzzles and defeat the many enemies. The four links are able to form several different formations, such as a line or square. The formations help the Links perform actions that couldn't be done by one, like moving heavy objects or defeating numerous enemies. At the beginning of each stage, the four sword will be weak in power; to replenish the swords power, force gems must be collected (which can be found hidden in various locations or by defeating enemies). At the end of each stage is a dark magic barrier, and the only way to destroy it is by a four sword which has been completely restored. The game can be played by one to four players, however there will always be four links on the screen. In multi-player games each player will control one of the Links and will need to connect with a Game Boy Advance which is used both to control the game as well is provide each player with their own display when their Link is inside a house or in a cavern.
In addition to the adventure mode, a multi-player battle mode is included where four Links fight to see who wins.... (more)(less)

"It's not a bad game by any means, but it just lacks the exploration and depth that the series is known for. Plus, it's too linear and repetitive, even by Zelda standards. And the music is pretty forgettable, too."

"MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE OF ALL 2D ZELDA GAMES IMO i love the story of vaati an awesome enemy that isnt gannondorf tho he does show up in this hahaah and shadow link not dark link i think theres a difference maybe not. Also this can be played single player and its still a blast its a very very long zelda game but i love that unlike link to the past its broken down into levels instead of open world and not knowing what to do or where to go uve probably noticed im a fan of linear games and hate non li"

"Using four GBA's as controllers, players sit around a GameCube and TV and work together -- and sometimes even against each other -- to solve puzzles, collect cash, and save the princess and her chums from a fate worse than death. Through incredibly cool design and implementation, the action and visuals flit between the larger outdoor areas (on the TV) and the small dungeons and tunnels (shown on the GBA screens). The result is a laugh-riot of epic proportions all wrapped up into a tasty classic "
