While competitive online and offline gaming is alive and well, games with cooperative modes are still a rarity. Chalk it up to the fact that as gameplay and enemy AI are becoming more complicated, it's tough to balance a game so that it's fun to play alone and still challenging enough with multiple players. Outside of a few recent experiments like Resident Evil Outbreak, co-op gaming has been low on many developers' lists. Most cooperative games seem to take the guise of dungeon hack'n'slash RPGs with randomized levels and a focus on stats building -- which is why Nintendo's little four-player experiment is so refreshing. Like the GBA link-up quest it's based on, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is a unique take on the action adventure genre. It's because unlike the increasingly generic 'kill all rats in the basement' quests of its RPG brethren, Four Swords Adventures dares to challenge players to think. And somehow, it pulls off an entertaining brand of cooperative gameplay that has you laughing with your friends, laughing at your friends, and at the same time learn to hate them more than the boss at the end of the level.

Zelda Wiki

The best way to describe Four Swords Adventures is to say it's four-player A Link to the Past, minus the overworld. All of the gameplay and technological advancements the Zelda series has seen over the last years are thrown out of the window, and Nintendo takes players back to the days of 2D. Some may call them 'good, old days' -- others will no doubt lament that they're essentially playing a dated looking game on a powerful console. But there is no denying that there is a certain charm to going back to the flat worlds of old and once again think two-dimensionally. For example, if an enemy is on top of a hill and you're not, there is no way to take him out by shooting an arrow or boomerang at him. But don't mistake the absence of three-dimensional space for the absence of three-dimensional puzzles. Ironically, it's the one platform that's still firmly rooted in 2D gameplay -- the Game Boy Advance -- that adds another dimension to the experience.

Like the presentation, the game's story takes cues from A Link to the Past. The evil wizard Vaati, who kidnapped the shrine maidens in the GBA Four Swords is released upon the world by the power of Shadow Link -- and it's up to you, Link, to vanquish the foes and rescue the girls again. Using the famed Four Sword that splits our hero into four differently colored Links, the Hero of Time sets out on a series of adventures in familiar and new environments, battles big bosses, and destroys magic barriers on the way.

Gameplay in Hyrulean Adventure, the main mode in Four Swords Adventures, takes place both on the TV screen and on the Game Boy Advance. As a matter of fact, if you want to play this game the way it was meant to be played, you need to find some friends who own GBAs (and cables). Four Swords Adventures is really the first game to prove that Nintendo's whole connectivity spiel is more than just a scheme to sell more hardware. Every time a player enters a house or cave, or descends into an area that's physically below the area shown on the TV screen, the action moves to the GBA. The switch is seamless, since the graphical presentation matches the look and feel on GameCube. Likewise, conversations with non-player characters all take place on the small screen, leaving the TV clear of text bubbles and messages -- and, more importantly, the action flowing and uninterrupted.

It may sound a bit odd to be switching between looking at a TV and at a handheld, but in practice, this all comes together beautifully. One player could be chatting with an old man inside a house, trying to get a clue on where to go next, while two players are trying to solve a block puzzle inside a dungeon below. The fourth player could be digging up the yard with a shovel, trying to collect some cash. Sure, you still have to wait for everyone when you want to exit an entire area to move on to the next, but you're no longer locked in place while other players are having NPC conversations (like in the other big GBA connectivity game, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, for example).
