It's at my local CEX store for £12- another once only chance most likely.

This is, probably one of the less known Zeldas. I really like the series, and have played all of them except OOA/OOS (Will do so later) and FSA/FS

Your opinion on the game please!

It's a great game I have to say, not one of the best, but it reminds me a lot of my favorite, A Link to the Past. If you like A Link to the Past, you'll like this one. It's really short but has its challenges here and there. Worth it though!

Not familiar with it, but it's up to you to get it or let it go.

Me and 2 friends had much fun with it. So the multi-player is great. Not sure if it's worth it for playing alone..

Edit: Keep in mind, for multi-player, every player needs a GBA.

This killed it for me. Not every one of my friends has a GBA. If it had been reviewed higher I would have considered it, but as it turned out, it just kinda looked like it was meant to push GBA sales.

I thought it was worth it. I mainly like it because it uses Link to the Past style.

LEGEND OF ZELDA: FOUR SWORDS is the purest definition of "good idea done wrong" you can find in gaming history.

The premise was so absolutely brilliant that its almost rediculous that Nintendo managed to screw it up. I mean, making another Zelda game in the style of "Link to the Past", adding some of the Wind Waker's artisitic and effect touches, and making it multiplayer, should have led to not only one of the best Zelda games of all time, but one of the best multiplayer games of all time period.....

.....except that Ninty got greedy and decided to make it a gimmick to sell GBA cables and units.

Seriously, if this game allowed you to simply plug in the extra paddles using the NGC's four-port design, (as opposed to requiring all the extra GBAunits and link cables)it would have easily sold 5x what it did, and people would still be raving about it to this day. Instead, its like the ugly stepchild of the Zelda franchise.
