The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is a remake of "A Link to the Past" from the GBA, onto the GC. Up to 4 people can play Four Swords at once using a GC-GBA Link cable. Four Swords emphasizes cooperative gameplay, including fighting, puzzle-solving, etc.

Gameplay

The Legend continues on Nintendo GameCube in an all-new epic adventure for one to four players.
