The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Four Swords (GBA)

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Four Swords (GBA)

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is one of the best games ever made. Four Swords is a cool new multiplayer game. Together they make the bargain of the century.

Despite the all-encompassing excellence of Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, many fans consider A Link to the Past to be the best Zelda game ever. Originally released in 1991 for the SNES, this, despite a few sound effect additions and the curious dumbing down of a couple of puzzles and snippets of dialogue, is a perfect conversion of that game.

Anyone who hasn't played this before will be surprised at just how similar it is to the newer Zelda games. It's got nearly all the same weapons and items, and the puzzles and gameplay are just as complex and interesting. In fact, lesser games are stilling ripping off the inspired fiendishness of the light/dark world and the various head-scratching puzzles it creates. Of course the graphics are rubbish–-they were pretty lame even back in 1991--but for once that really doesn't matter.

Clearly not wanting to be accused of releasing another "lazy" port, Nintendo have included a brand new multiplayer mode in the form of Four Swords. Entirely separate from the single-player adventure, it allows you and up to three friends to battle through one of three smallish dungeons cooperating on puzzles and mercilessly stealing each other's treasures. Although short-lived it's great fun and the perfect accompaniment to the magnificence of A Link to the Past. --David Jenkins

Edge
"There isn't a single moment of [this] deliciously open adventure which isn't an absolute pleasure to revisit. 9/10."

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST!, 29 Oct 2005
By Mark (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past was a fantastic game on the SNES and you know something, its just as good on GameBoy! I am so glad they have released this game on the little cart because now you can take this great adventure with you anywhere. I first got the game when the GBA SP was released and I was hooked! I was in London at the time but on the way back home to Newcastle on the train, I played this game none stop! The graphics are superb, the gameplay is smooth and there are loads of things to do, like finding certain clues out, meeting people, there are loads of weapons to use, different enemies and boss's to defeat, secrets to disscover and loads of areas in the game to explore!

The bit I like is going back and forth from the dark side back to the light side! Fantastic! This was always classed as one of the best Zelda titles, and all I can say it is very good and you people out there thinking of buying it should because theres hours of excitement and fun just waiting to be opened!
I havn't played the four swords on it, but it is suppose to be quite good, but down side is you need four people to have a cart of their own, but like I say, this game is fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, 7 Aug 2006
By P.Vineaux (London) - See all my reviews
This was my first Zelda, and I was worried it was just another average but overhyped game. After playing it I can honestly say this game's hype is well-deserved.

The main thing that makes this game brilliant is the amount of thought put into it. It doesn't ever really on cheap tactics like random battles, boring dungeons, or obligatory 'twists'. Instead, progression through the game is genuinely involving, with you getting stronger by acquiring items that actually change the way you can play. It also rewards exploration in the way no other game does, around every corner there is a great surprise, and it sucks you into a totally different experience from other games.

Another thing that is beautiful about this game is the atmosphere, despite the fact it is so old, the music is some of the best I've ever heard in a game, the graphics are always simple but also extremely effective, and the ideas implemented in ever sequence of playing make it very enjoyable and rewarding throughout.

There are no flaws in this game, and I can happily recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent conversion, 4 Jun 2003
After having a long time on the SNES, Link to the Past has been ported to GBA, and what a wicked port.

Nintendo seem intent on constantly putting rehashes onto GBA. However this is a superb rehash that deserves to be on the GBA.

The Link to the Past story is excellent, and the graphics - while probably not pushing the GBS- are excellent and have a superb cartoony detail.

Link grunting at every swipe (A new addition) sound has been ported straight from Ocarina Of Time on the N64 and does get rather annoying, but the other sounds ported from OoT are a welcome addition.

I have been unable to play Four Swords because I do not know anyone else with the game. However I have heard that it is a superb extra, and is quite a large battle, so if you know other people with the game, then definately go for this.
