Between the Four Swords games, I gotta give the edge to Adventures on GameCube. Had several high school hangouts where this game was the focus & we had a blast. Splitting exploration of the world between the TV screen & the GBAs everyone uses as a controller was pure genius. The mix of competition & cooperation baked into the gameplay makes for a wild, silly & entertaining time each time you fire it up, particularly with friends.
this game only served to remind me that I was a lonely only child with no friends, and for that I can never forgive it.
Fun multiplayer game
For what I've managed to try: HOLY SHIT, it has so much potential, why it hasn't been remastered yet? Only thing resembling this was Triforce heroes. I thought the trend of Four Swords was going to be a stale back in mid 2000s, but I was so wrong (I mean: if we don't count Phantom Hourglass multiplayer with those Links and the other game just mentioned) and now I really wish they could do justice with this.
Doubt Nintendo would fuck it up like Square Enix did with FF Crystal Chronicles, just to mention the other closest game to a similar experience.

Four Swords Adventures is one of those Zelda games you often forget about. The concept and gameplay are fun but the game goes on a little too long and the single-player experience isn't ideal. This game is also extremely elusive existing only on the GameCube with no ports to other consoles. Overall this is a fun game in brief spurts but too stale on larger scales.
We did 3 players gameplay, it tooks us 2 years to complete the game, it was a lot of fun but that's it, from zelda it has only the name and some items.
i feel the strict level approach doesn't work well for the four swords games. its cryptic with some of its puzzles and doesn't further add enjoyment for me. even if i had friends the game itself wouldn't be that much more fun with them.
