StanJr Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I passed on these when they came out because they were all about the "you and three friends can play at once!" and I didn't have three friends, much less 3 that were in to LoZ. But are they enjoyable as a single player experience? They are the only games in the series I am missing and would love to play them, but if they are dependent upon having more than one player, I'm going to have to have more kids... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) You can play them single player.. but it's a pretty unsatisfying experience as interaction (whether it's cooperation or rivalry in racing/getting coins, etc.) is the obvious "focus".. you'll see. Still worth a shot though if you get it cheap. Why not? The 4 Swords for Gamecube was especially frustrating for me because it looked so great, it made you wish it was a legit new top-view Zelda game.

Tanooki Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's like a little bit less inspired version of Link to the Past in style because you have to jockey the other links around to do the stuff in spots of each area of that game (like park 2 on a block to drop a gate type stuff.)

Atariboy Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Unlike Four Swords Adventure, you can only play the original Four Swords solo if you downloaded the free DSi/3DS port during their limited windows of availability. The original version of the game on the Game Boy Advance is a multiplayer only experience. Edited September 15, 2017 by Atariboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Wow, so the original four swords is going to require me to not only have friends who play Zelda, but they are also going to need copies of the game and Gameboys? Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I don't recall that.. but I did download the free one at the time, so maybe that clouded my memory. Was the original 4 Swords the one that was a sub-game to GBA LttP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first, then Gamecube which can easily be done alone, and then the GBA remix/rerelease for 3DS that can play by itself adopting changes of the GC release to be functional. My post wasn't even thinking of the original useless addon without partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 You don't need four players, you can play with two or three from what I can remember. But yeah, the original GBA game won't let you play by yourself, and I can't imagine it being much fun that way anyway. Most of the fun in that game is from the competition. What about Tri Force Heroes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
