Nintendo made a terrific decision bringing in Grezzo once more to work on The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, since the additions introduced have made for a lot of replay value to a game that you might not have picked up again for a while after beating it.

Essential. [Christmas 2011, p.89]

The break from the single player Zelda norm that we never knew we wanted.

NO lo recomiendo de un jugador, yo lo jugué con mi hermano y fue muy divertido, muchos enemigos, artilugios y algunos jefes, acabarlo al 100% fue satisfactorio y lo vale.

Had a blast finally playing through this game and being able to play it solo. Is a short but very fun experience. Added content was welcome, I am fortunate to have this on my 3DS. Wish there was still a way to access this for a new audience.

The solo play in this game is amazing, too bad it's only available through the defunct DSi Ware.

Despite minor faults, Four Swords Anniversary Collection is an amazing game. I'm shocked that Nintendo put any effort-much less this amount of effort-into a free downloadable title. But good for them.

A terrific new version of the Four Swords adventure, lovingly crafted and full of content.

While the cooperative mode is exceptional, the new single-player experience, despite practical, is very tiring.

Fun and very satisfying, Four Swords Anniversary Edition focus on multiplayer, but also offers a new option, to play it solo, a fantastic addition. It is a pity that there ist not an online mode in the game, yer another chance lost by Nintendo to gear up the series.

Whether it's free, this game is still fun. The best puzzles in which Link has faced and always meant to be played in company. The touch screen makes it better. It also has added a lot of memories to help you bring out your tears. Memorable.

This is a great game for any Legend of Zelda fan and is perfect for The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary. I was unable to play the original Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventure bundled with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the GameBoy Advance, so this was a welcomed release. This game is fun and easy to play, but does have some challenging puzzles later on. If you have a friend with a DSi or 3DS and this game, it is even more fun with the multiplayer mode! You can't beat the price either: FREE! :-)

Why this game isnt out in the E-Shop any more confuses me beyond belief. This might be one of the best Zelda games. It leaves a lot of untouched potential, like online play, and maybe more levels. But it is still amazing! It is Zelda, with emphasis on multiplayer! No online, few levels, the game not being available anymore, along with levels maybe being a little bit to long without possibility to save bring the game down from 10 to 9 in my opinion. Stlll a MUST HAVE! 9 out of 10

Only just got round to playing this because i was waiting for the opportunity to get four people together to play it. Although you can play single player you'd be missing the point a bit. It must be stressed that this was always designed as a multiplayer game and the way you have to work together to solve puzzles and defeat bosses is quite unique. It's a bit short and a bit shallow compared to the best Zelda games but it's still fun and it's FREE (or at least it was).

I don't know, man. maybe it's the music, or the gameplay, but this Zelda just doesn't feel right. Maybe it's because i'm playing it alone? Either way, it's dissapointing to see that nintendo reused sound clips from Minish cap, whithout even bothering to record them like in Starfox 64. And the overall game feels sluggish.

I love the zelda franchise, every game is absolutely fantastic, Until I played this game.. This game was a massive disappointment. The zelda franchise doesn't work multiplayer. Would not recommend.
