- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These are the only kind of e-mails I want:

- Questions about any Zelda game (not just Four Swords)
- Info that is USEFUL and isn't in the FAQ
- Spelling errors, including capital letters in wrong spot, words touching
- Strategies on bosses
- Praise, a person can never get sick of that

If you have a question after reading the walkthrough part, then e-mail me,
but it better have something to do with the Zelda series and something
that isn't in the FAQ yet. I check my e-mail everyday, even holidays. People 
don't stop having questions just because it's Christmas (when everyone gets 
new games and have questions about them).

About Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This is the latest game in the Zelda series. This game is very similar to the 
Four Swords multiplayer game that was included with the GameBoy Advance 
version of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In this game you control Link, after 
he has been split into four separate versions of himself. Using the team of 
Links, you make your way through the many puzzles of Hyrule and save Zelda 
from the Wind Sorcerer, Vaati. 

This game has two different modes of play: Hyrulean Adventure and Shadow 
Battle. 

Hyrulean Adventure can be played by yourself using a GameCube controller or a 
GameBoy Advanced hooked up to the GameCube. It can also be played with 
friends, but all players are required to use a GBA. Hyrule Adventure is a 
story mode where you travel across Hyrule using a "level" system. It's 
similar to other Zelda games but here, you go to one area of Hyrule, collect 
Force Gems (instead of rupeees) pick up weapons (one at a time) and find the 
boss. As you collect more Force gems, your Four Sword powers up and can then 
shoot out beams, like past Zelda adventures. Once you defeat the boss, you 
start a new area - empty handed. If you have played Four Swords on the GBA, 
you know exactly what to do.

Shadow Battle is a multiplayer game much like Hyrulean Adventure. Beat up 
your friends and be the last Link standing.

GameBoy Advance Connectivity
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nintendo wants us to hook up our GBAs to our GameCubes. They even give you a 
free link cable when you purchase the game. Using the GameBoy Advance,
you and your friends can take on Hyrule together. Whenever you enter a cave, 
house or something not on the TV map, the GameBoy will show the inside of 
that area. If you don't have a GameBoy Advance, it's okay. You can still play 
Hyrulean Adventure, but instead of showing the inside of an area on the GBA 
screen, a window on the TV pops up and acts as the GBA.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Formations
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When playing on your own during Hyrulean Adventure, you control the way the 
Links move together. 

Cross Formation: 
This will put all Links back to back in all directions. Use this when there 
are alot of enemy on screen to defend all sides of the group.

Wide Formation:
All Links will line up horizontally to push certain blocks.

Long Formation:
The group will go into a vertical line, allowing them to push certain blocks.

Box Formation:
Links will go into a box shape and this allows them to get through tight 
spots and again, push blocks.

The Box and Cross formations are not available in two - three player modes.
You can not use any formations if there are four players. And you can't make 
formations in side scrolling areas.


=================================================
III. Characters
=================================================

Link -
The Hero of Time. His quest is to take down the Wind Sorcerer, Vatti using 
the Four Sword and dividing into Four seperate Links.

Princess Zelda -
Princess of Hyrule. She was kidnapped by Vaati along with the young maidens.

Tingle -
A human mapmaker who wishes to be a fairy. Along your quest, he will try to 
grab Force Gems that you don't get to quickly enough.

Kaebora Gaepora -
The very wise owl from Ocarina of Time is back to give you more info during 
your quest.

Vaati -
Wind sorcerer who likes to kidnap young maidens. Now Vaati is terrorizing 
Hyrule and kidnapped Zelda.


=================================================
IV. Game Controls
=================================================

You can use a GameCube controller or Game Boy Advance to play Four Swords 
Adventures. To use a GameBoy Advance to play, you need a Nintendo 
GameCube/GameBoy Advance link cable. You can only use the GameCube controller 
on the single player mode, but the GameBoy Advance can be used for any mode.

GameCube Controller -
---------------------

Analog Stick: moves Link around

L Button: displays formation window

R Button: lift items or another Link (when formation is broken)

Control (D) Pad, X Button: breaks formation - use Links separately

C Stick: Formation Quick Change

Z Button: closes GBA window (appears only when using the GC controller)


GameBoy Advance -
-----------------

Control (D) Pad: Move Link 

L Button: displays formation window

R Button: lift objects or another Link (when formation is broken)

A Button: use weapon (if you have one)

B Button: use sword

Select: break formation and use each Link separately.


==========================================
V. Walkthrough 
==========================================


      My walkthrough is based on the single player mode. I have not 
      played using multiplayer so I can get this done faster. Most 
      puzzles will apply to multiplayer mode anyway, but not all of
      them. Don't e-mail me if I mention in a sidenote that a certain 
      area is known to be different in multiplayer. I can't help you.
            I am also using a GameBoy Advance as a controller.

                      === Stage 1: Lake Hylia ===

Wake up the Links and start heading west. You will pass a red house with a 
gate surrounding the backyard. Inside is a man who will teach you about 
formations. After your lesson, head west and push the large block in the 
water to create a bridge. Look for the cave with a stone blocking the way. 
Pick up the stone with the R Button and go inside. Step on the switch, head 
north and grab the boomerang. Now leave the cave and head north where some 
Octoroks are playing. Use the boomerang to grab the key in the northeast 
corner and unlock the door Shadow Link locked. Go through the back door and 
lift up the large stone. Now you have the Fire Rod. Head back to the front 
and burn down the tree stumps surrounding the large stone. Head down the 
steps and get to the other side. Hit the switch on the way to make a bridge. 
Head west and you will find Shadow Link pounding the ground with a magic 
hammer. When he leaves, step on the big switch and a ton of Force Gems will 
fall. Pick them up and head north. Jump into the water and go under the 
bridge. Go up the steps and pick up the large stone. It's Tingle! 

After your chat, jump into the water and swim south of the rocks, going east. 
Go up one of the four tall ladders along the west side of the waterfall. Enter 
the cave and jump into the cannon. Blast up and to your right is the exit.
Go into the next cave and grab the boomerang, then blast up and out to the top 
of the waterfall. head north and behind the waterfall, notice three cave 
openings. Head into the 3rd one on the right and step on all four switches. 
This will create a bridge to your left. Leave and go into the middle cave, 
cross the bridge. There is a star shaped switch near a gap. Have one Link 
stand on it while the others cross the gap and press L to regroup and head 
south. Jump down the waterfall and at the bottom, dive for some Force Gems. 
Now go into the whirlpool in the southeast corner. Swim to the other side and 
push the large stone south. This will make four squares appear. Have each 
Link stand on all four squares and they will be sent across the gap. Step on 
the switch to your south and open the chests to get a blue braclet. Now head 
north and go up the stairs. Pick up the stones and cut down the bushes to 
find a hole. Jump down the hole and make your way to the other side. 

Here you come across a bridge with a group of Blue Soldiers after you. Take 
out the guards and go north where there are some bushes. Chop down the bushes 
and have the Links stand on all four switches, making 2 chests appear. Inside
is a Heart Container and some Force Gems. Go west to find another group of 
soldiers, including a bigger, more armored guard. To kill him, slash at his 
back. When all the guards are dead, it starts raining Force Gems, enough to 
power up your sword to the next level. Walk west and you find the dark 
barrier. Slash each of the eyes and you complete the level.

                             --- Sidenote ---

If you do not have 2000 Force Gems by the time you get to Vaati's barrier, you 
will be asked if you want to go back in time. You cannot break the barrier if 
your sword is not powered up. Go ahead and travel back in time. When you do 
collect enough Force Gems, you are warped back to the barrier, where you can 
then destroy it.


                     === Stage 2: Cave of No Return ===


Make your way through the darkness and grab the lamp. This will let you see a 
wider area around you. Light the torches near the door and go north. Light the 
torches as you pass them to collect some Force Gems. Go to the top of the ring 
of fire and push the blocks out of the way to get in. In each corner of ring, 
there is a block. Push all four of them into the corner and the ring of fire 
will disappear. Open the chest and pick up the small key. Unlock the door in 
the northeast and go in. Push the blocks and kill the rats until you get the 
small key. Head east and unlock the door. Have each Link push their colored 
block to get to the other side and grab the lamp. Light the torches and go 
through the door. This room has 4 traps in the floor. If you fall, oh well. 
One of them leads you to a heart container. When you get to the other side of 
the traps, kill the water jellies and two doors will open. go through the 
east door and destroy all the pots. On the right side of the room a pot has a 
small key inside. When you find the small key, leave this room and go north. 
There is a gap on the left side. Press select and throw a Link to the other 
side and grab the Bow. Press L to regroup and head north. Use your arrows to 
light all the torches and a flock of Geese appear. Line up horizontally and 
shoot them all down. On the other side is a switch that will make a bridge 
appear. Hit it before all the bats die. When all the Geese are gone, it will 
rain Force Gems. 

If you didn't hit the switch yet, they all fall into the abyss instead of on 
the bridge and you get nothing, so make sure you hit the switch before killing 
all the enemies. Head north and down the steps. Here you will meet the first 
of many mages. 

(I don't know about you, but I can't get over the music they play in here....)

Head into the northeast cave behind the mage and open the chests. Keep going 
and you will see another mage. This time go into the northwest cave and open 
some more chests. Head north and you see two more cave but no mage. Head into 
the northeast cave and go up the stairs. There are two handles in the wall. 
Line up vertically and pull the left handle to get a heart container. The 
right one will open the north door. The next room contains Shadow Link. Hit 
hitting him with your sword while you avoid the bombs he drops.  
The bombs he drops can also be used against him if they explode near him.
Eventually, he turns into one of the Four Links. Hit him with the color 
Link he is and he will go away. Go north and break the dark barrier to 
complete the stage.


                       === Stage 3: Hyrule Castle ===


Head north to the castle entrance. There are two guards on the top throwing 
bombs at you. Go to the left side of the entrance and pick up the big stone. 
A stairways appears, so go down the stairs and get to the other side. Now you 
should be on the top of the castle where the bomb guards are. Push the blocks 
out of the way and hit the switch. That will open the front gate and allow you 
to enter the castle. As soon as you go through the gate, you are greeted by a 
group of soldiers and thier leader. Hack away! When the guards are defeated, 
open the chests and grab the Heart Container and Force Gems. Head north and 
pull the switch on the right to open the castle door. 

Inside the castle, go up the stairs to your right and go right one screen. 
Walk down the path and leave the castle going south. You should be on the 
right side roof. Walk into the back of the small building and grab the bow 
that is inside. Shoot an arrow through the door on the other side of the gap.
It will hit the switch on the other side and a bridge will appear along with 
some blocks that disappear. Now you can jump down into a field with some 
brown rocks and bomb plants. Pick a bomb and throw it at the crack in the 
wall. Go into the new opening and you are taken to a side scrolling area with 
some cannons. Jump into the cannon on the right and launch up to the chest and 
get the small key. Now jump into the cannon floating on the left and you will 
be launched onto the roof of the castle. Leap down from the ledge and go back 
into the castle. Walk into the central area of the castle and unlock the 
north door. Head north up the stairs and back outside. Keep going up until 
you enter a courtyard. 

Defeat the guards and a ball and chain appears. He is pretty stong, so be 
careful. When he is defeated, a fleet of guards appear, but you can defeat 
them easily by getting in the cross formation and hacking away. Now you can 
advance forward. Take a left here and get into a wide formation to pull the 
big handle. This will open a gap in the castle. Go into this gap and enter the 
castle. Upstairs there are four different weapons to choose from. Grab the 
bombs and go north. Blow the east wall and talk to the Zora (that's what they
are if you think about A Link to the Past, not Ocarina of Time) that is split 
in half. He will follow you so he can find his other half. Leave this place 
and go west where you will find Shadow Link. You will probably fall down the 
trap near him. Jump into the cannon and blast back up. Avoid the trap and you 
will see 4 black switches. Get into a cross formation and do a spin attack. 
This will hit all 4 at once and create a new path. Walk up to the door, but 
don't go in. Head left from here and you will see two Armos statues. Smash 
the pots behind the statues to find a star shaped switch. Push a statue on 
the switch and a board disappears of some glass pane. Now go into that door 
to your right.

Smash the pot and push the block. Head up the stairs and step on the switches 
under the pots to open the door. You found the other half of the Zora thing. 
Now head back to the barrier in the front of the castle. Go inside and cut 
down any curtains you see. Enter any doorways you find and step on all 
switches you see. This will make the blocks disappear, allowing you to go 
north on the castle roof. Defeat the group of blue guards that appear and 
enter the new door. Inside, defeat the large Armos Statues and cut down any 
curtains you see to get some good stuff that sit behind them. Now push the 
large throne to the right and cut dwon the curtain behind it to get out. 
Here, just blast yourself up until you get back on top of the castle. 

                    --- BOSS BATTLE: Phantom Ganon ---

Have you played the Wind Waker? If you have, then you know what to do for this 
boss. Phantom Ganon is back, and he is the same as before. When he shoots that 
ball at you, knock it back and forth until he is stunned. Then hack away at 
him. Keep doing that and he goes up in a cloud of smoke. Grab the Force Gems 
and head into the new opening. Now save the maiden and Level 1 is complete!

                       === Stage 1: The Coast ===


Move the large stones and jump down to the beach. Head into the cave nearby 
and push the block up. Grab the bombs and blow the north wall. Open the 
chests and blow the other side. Now you are back on the beach. Go south and 
then east. There is no way to get past the house, so you have to go around. 
Walk behind the red house and cut down the bushes. Plant a bomb in the 
spaces in the mountain wall. Some openings should appear. Go in the cave on 
the right and head north. Smash the pots on each side and step on all the 
switches. A bridge will appear. Now head north and you will find a three way 
path. Blow out each of the walls in all three directions. Explore the cave 
and when your ready, go into the north hole and you will find a switch under 
a pot. Have one Link stand on the switch and have another go around, smash 
the pot underneath the other Link and stand on the other switch, and a bridge 
will appear. Press L to regroup and head south, where you can blow up the 
wall. Now you should be outside in the red house's backyard. 

Go east and jump down onto the beach. Go past the blue Octoroks and continue 
east. Here you step on a switch and some Zora's will appear. Go into the 
whirlpool. Inside the whirlpool, swim left and go into the right cave. When 
you get the slingshot, go into left cave and give it to a Great Fairy so she 
can make it a Lvl. 2 Slingshot. Now head back above water and shoot the 
Zoras. When they are all dead, you can head east. Make your way through the 
crabs on the beach and collect the million Force Gems that fall when all the 
crabs are dead. In the next area, you have a fun game with Shadow Link. He 
drops a huge bomb on the beach and you have ten seconds to get underground 
before it blows. When it does blow up, get up above ground and get as far as 
you can, then go back underground. Make sure you grab the bombs you come 
across, you're going to need them. Keep doing this until you get to the other 
side. 

Go east and you will see some bushes and Octoroks. Cut down some bushes and 
you will find a hole in the ground. Hop down in there and you will get a heart 
container. Head east and there are some more bushes to cut. You should 
eventually find a hole. Fall into the hole and it leads to a large block. Push 
the block to the left and go down. There are three openings to go through. Go 
through the one all the way to the left. Now you are on a beach. There are 
three big Force Gems sitting there. Or are they? Attack the Gems before you 
walk into them and you will realize they are enemies dressed as Force Gems. 
Kill the enemies and you will get your reward. Head east along the beach and 
go behind the large tree. Walk through the cave and you will end up back 
outside on the coast. Destroy all the pink Octoroks and head east. There you 
will meet Shadow Link and his big bombs again. Just dive for Force Gems and 
when you are done, head northeast to the boss.

This boss is not too hard. Hit each claw with the corosponding Link color 
until he is destroyed. Head north and destroy the barrier. Stage Complete! 


                 === Stage 2: Village of the Blue Maiden ===


Go through the village gate and talk to the owl. After that, cut down the 
bushes near the pool to the left. Step on the switches and two chests will 
appear. Look at the flower patch near the owl's perch. It shines for some 
reason. Go talk to the old man near the gate and he will give you the Moon 
Pearl. Carry the Moon Pearl to the flower patch and a portal appears. Go into 
the portal and you are taken to the "mirror" side of this area. Go into the 
central portal and you are taken to the other side of the original area. Go 
left and you see a guy called Secret Agent Two. He isn't important right now, 
so go south from where he is standing. Talk to the mage and she will give you 
a Moon Pearl. Take that moon pearl and go to the central area. Now go north, 
then west. Here you will see a long line of people. Go to the bottom of the 
line and you will see a shine. Walk into it with the Moon Pearl and you are 
taken to the "mirror" part of the area. Make the Links go into a box formation 
and step on the switch. Talk to the lady and she tells you to find her friend 
in 20 seconds. When you get to him, he will let you have the Pegasus Boots. 

Now you can break those bricks near the lady. Go back through the portal. 
Using the boots, break through that line. Talk to the green guy, Secret Agent 
One. He will tell you about the secret entrance to the Seeker's Guild. Go to 
the right of the house and walk in. Talk to the pirate guy and he will ask 
you to help him with the Mage problem. Talk to Agent One and he will give you 
a clue - "The Six..." Now go back to Agent Two. He gives you another clue - 
"Deeply connected to this village..." Now go east two screens until you get 
to a building with four doors that seems to be blocked off by a fence. Go 
into the house to the right and grab the lamp. Use this to burn the stump 
near the gate to get in the four door house. Go into the fourth door and talk 
to another Secret Agent. He gives you another clue - "Beautiful!" Now go west 
then north and go up. The last Secret Agent will give you a clue - 
"Protect..." Now that you have all the clues, go back to the Seeker's Guild 
leader in the house where everyone is standing in line. Talk to him and he 
will ask you what you think all the clues are about. Select "Maidens" and he 
will give you a shovel and tell you to dig by the house of pots in the 
southeast part of the village. 

Dig in the front of the house and a hole appears. Go down the hole and climb 
the ladder to get to the other side. Now head south to the rest area and cut 
down the bushes. Break formation and get Link to step on each one and a Moon 
Pearl and 100 Force Gem falls from the sky. Grab the moon pearl and take it 
north. Go up between the two trees and a portal will appear. This takes you to 
the "mirror" version of the area. Go into the blue house in the northeast 
corner and talk to the left girl. She will give you the Fire Rod. Use this to 
burn down the tree stumps in front of the four door house. Go inside, grab the 
Force Gems and get out. Go through the secret passage on the east side of the 
four door house and talk to the girl. She has a letter she wants you to give 
to her boyfriend. Go in the portal, in the hole, through the other side. Go 
east one screen and north. See the huge patch of grass and the guy standing 
there? Give him the letter and he will give you Roc's Feather. Go inside the 
long blue house to the left. Jump across the space and have Link push the 
barrels out of the way. Talk to the Mage and she gives you a book to give to 
Iris. 

Now go left one screen and using the box formation, push that fat lady to the 
left so you can get in the shop. Drop the book and open up the chest. It's a 
moon pearl. Now you have two items though. What are you going to do? Press 
select and have the red Link grab the book. Press L and now 2 Links are 
carrying something. Remember that for the future. Go right one screen and walk 
up behine the Secret Agent. A portal will appear and you are sent to the 
"mirror" version of this section. Go to where you gave letter to the guy and 
instead you see Iris. Give her the book and she will make a house appear on 
the other side of the portal. Go inside the house to find the couple safe in 
their home. Go down the stairs and make your way back outside. Go right and 
you will see Tingle in the air. Get to the other side and get that purple 
Force Gem before he does. After that, jump up to get the green Force Gem and 
go right. It starts raining. Go right another screen and Shadow Link appears. 
He will transport through here and the "mirror" world. Follow him between 
portals and slash at him. Eventually, he will turn into one of the Links. 
Whatever color tunic he is wearing, use that Link to hit him. Eventually, he 
will give up. After the battle, the people from the village come to thank 
you. Now head north and hit the Vaati barrier to end the stage.


                       === Stage 3: Eastern Temple ===


This place seems familiar....

Head inside and you will see some pots. Smash them and step on the switches. 
You get a small key. If you go right, you will see some tiles on the floor. 
Get into a cross formation and step on the tiles and two chests appear. Get 
the Force Gems and go left and through the locked door. Kill the stalfos and 
go north. Make your way past the flying marbles and kill the snakes. Go north. 
Defeat the Stalfos and Shadow Link. Grab the slingshot and step on the 
switches on the left side of the flying Force Gems. Go west. Shoot the 
switches north of the spikes to get them back in the ground. Push the block 
left and head north. Defeat the Wizzrobe and avoid the Stalfos skulls. A 
chest with a moon pearl will appear. Grab the Moon Pearl and go south. Push 
the block south and go left.There are two chests sitting in the miidle of the 
room. The right one has 100 Force Gems, the other one, a huge bomb, the kind 
Shadow Link likes to play with.If you do open the one with the bomb, jump 
down one of the holes on the left before it blows. Now you can see why I 
wanted you to go left. There are chests on this side. Keep going down each 
hole until you get the small key (you should have the moon pearl still). Go 
back to the block and push it right and go south using the key. Talk to the 
old ghost man. He tells you about the moon pearl.
