About This Game
The A Link to the Past portion is a faithful adaptation of the 1991 SNES game, considered one of the greatest video games of all time, with GBA-specific tweaks to accommodate the smaller screen.
Four Swords is the first Zelda title designed for multiplayer (2-4 players via link cable), introducing cooperative puzzle-solving and combat mechanics.
Added content includes the Palace of the Four Sword dungeon, accessible after completing both campaigns, which bridges the lore between this game and Four Swords Adventures.
Sold over 2.5 million copies, popularizing Zelda multiplayer concepts and preserving a masterpiece for handheld audiences.
