No, not the Wind Waker, but A link to the past on GBA. It's great! Everything looks the same, plays the same, and honestly, i'm glad for that, as I sold my SNES three years ago (Yeah, clever! :()


Anyway, those that have imported and are waiting, of those of you that have ordered it from SR *hint Hint* are in for a real treat.


Anyone have any questions?

Yeah, you need more than one cart, but it is a 2-4 player game, so I guess you would only need two GBA's and two Carts.

Sadly you will need a friend with a copy of the game and link-up cable to enjoy "Four Swords".

Link to the Past is very much identical to it's SNES brethren in every way, so you could be forking out £30 for a game you've already got unless of course, friends of your's will be picking "Four Swords" up too!

Any idea if when using the link up option if you need more than one cartridge of the game? Or will the one game do like on other games?

I loved the game on the Snes, and finished it, but would love to play it again, thing is, is there any point in doing so? Are there any extra's or something else to make me feel the need to get this game?

Yeah, multi-language problems do exist, but that's why I imported the USA version... :D


Anyway, had a brief look at Four Swords (Allows you to watch the cut-scene before you link up, Yes!) and something occured to me. There's an evil bad dude named Vaati (yes, with thow a's) who, well, I won't spoil it, but let's just say he has more than a few connections with the word 'Wind'.


Hmmm...

All GBA stuff is multi-reigon

Hence there is no PAL or NTSC Zelda game on the GBA, so yes, you can link up the import version with the PAL GC game.

Although there may be a problem with different language versions.

With four swords does it need to be a PAL one to link up with a PAL gamecube or a PAL Zelda Gamecube?

Got mine at the weekend, although I don't have anyone to sample the delights of "Four Swords" with though. :(
