The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords

Game Details:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was originally a classic on the SFC (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), telling the story of Link traveling between the World of Light and the World of Darkness to defeat the evil Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda. This game faithfully recreates the original content on the GBA and adds modern improvements such as optimized save mechanisms, slight interface adjustments, and additional voice prompts.

The accompanying Four Swords is the series' first multiplayer cooperative work, supporting 2-4 players online. Players will each control Links of different colors, working together in puzzles, cooperation, and competition to clear levels, collect gems, and defeat enemies. This mode emphasizes teamwork and real-time strategy, creating a completely different experience from single-player games.

Editor's Recommendation:

This game is a perfect tribute to old players and an excellent entry point for new players to explore the Zelda series. The level design of A Link to the Past is classic, and the intertwined exploration mechanism of the World of Light and the World of Darkness is still used in subsequent works. Four Swords brings an unprecedented multiplayer interactive experience, which is still very playable even today.

Whether you prefer heroic adventures alone or cooperative puzzle-solving with friends, this "dual Zelda" work can meet your expectations.

Game Guide:

1. Key Points to Clearing A Link to the Past

• Early Suggestions: After obtaining the sword and shield, prioritize completing the Eastern Palace mission to unlock the main functions of the World of Light. Pay attention to talking to NPCs, as there are many hidden hints.
• Key Item Acquisition: Key items such as Pegasus Boots, Hookshot, and Mirror are necessary to access the World of Darkness and specific areas. Remember to check the treasure chests and hidden corners of the major dungeons.
• Dual-World Switching: Some puzzles need to be solved by switching states between the two worlds. For example, pressing a mechanism in the World of Darkness and returning to the World of Light will reveal the path that has been opened.

2. Four Swords Cooperative Skills

• Clear Division of Labor: It is recommended that each player be assigned different responsibilities, such as puzzle-solving main force, combat vanguard, gem collector, etc., to improve efficiency.
• Traps and Interaction Mechanisms: There are a large number of mechanisms in this work that require collaborative completion (such as multi-person platforms and throwing mechanisms). Be sure to pay attention to the order and rhythm.
• Scoring System: Each level is scored based on the number of gems. Rationally allocating gem collection tasks helps to clear the level with a high score.

3. Hidden Content and Achievements

• Clearing Four Swords unlocks a hidden cave in A Link to the Past, containing special challenges.
• Using GBA and NGC linking can also obtain additional mini-games and challenge rewards (requires specific hardware support).
• It is recommended to try "Hero Mode" after clearing the game. Monsters are stronger, and rewards are richer.
