Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords

Bosses
I think we should make new pages for the three bosses. but what should we call the bosses since they have no official names? I was leaning towards, Guardian of the Sea of Trees, Guardian of Talus Cave, and Guardian of Death Mountain. I think that would sound better than calling them Boss of the Sea of Trees, etc. any other thoughts? BanaBana 16:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I found some art for Four Swords but I never played the game so I don't know what characters or enemies they apply to.

 * First of all, nice find these are great! I haven't played it either, but as far as I can tell the first three are the (un-named) bosses of the game (the fourth being Vaati.) For more info see ZU's guide or part II of this guide


 * The others appear to be the Great Mayfly Fairy and the Great Dragonfly Fairy from TMC; I don't see any mention of fairies featuring in FS at all. --Adam 14:43, 21 December 2007 (EST)


 * Actually, the Great three ....fly Fairies from TMC first appeared in FS. They can be seen at the intro (recognizable by their colour patterns). And I heard they are the ones that give Link the keys he needs to reach Vaati. IfIHaveTo 14:58, 21 December 2007 (EST)


 * Excellent, thanks! I've managed to find a text dump for the game, now we just need someone who's actually played it! (possibly the least played Zelda game ever? :) ) --Adam 15:08, 21 December 2007 (EST)


 * Oh cool I actually would have played it if I didn't need four players.--Green 23:37, 21 December 2007 (EST)

U don't need 4 other people! u only need 2!

Is It Possible
Is the four swords merely just a shortened version of Four Swords Adventures?...maybe the company was trying out the new multilayer thing? I just find it weird the way it goes in the storylines...anyone else? Also I never played it..was there anything in the game that was important..like how in FSA there was a new tribe in the desert?? or was there a ganon or shadow link or trident of power ? or triforce? --Remo 09:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

First off, Four Swords is not a shortened version of Four Swords Adventures. The only important things was that it introuduced Vaati and that it featured levels that bare a resemblence to that of Mystery Dungeon games. I'm probable going to go about editing the pages relating to Four Swords. BanaBana 16:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

When you say Mystery Dungeon...are you talking about Pokemon?..and still what is the biggest difference between FS and FSA.

What makes FS stand out on its own..that it would actually be important to the game series or timeline...at least what makes it stand out when FSA doesn't?--Remo 19:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

When I say Mystery Dungeon, I mean Mystery Dungeon games, which yes includes Pokemon, along with other games like Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. Of course it is definately not as extreme as those games, but they're still randomly generated. (Maps usually contain two elements, a large area and a small area. So you can get Large area A and Small Area A, or Large area A and Small Area B, or Large Area B with Small area C, etc. etc.) What makes FS sepreate from FSA is really how certain things are set up. First off there is dungeons, like I said before in FS they're generated randomly, where as FSA everything is pre-set. Next is that with FS you need at least one other player, you can't play it alone like with FSA. I don't think either FS or FSA stand out much. BanaBana 20:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

When I say stand out I mean...story wise, cuz really the first half of FSA (I never played it so I am assuming) the same as the the entire FS game...isn't it. You gather the 4 elements and defeat Vaati?--Remo 21:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Not quite. You have to get the 3 keys from the Great Fairys and then break into Vaati's Palace. I suppose it wouldn't be breaking in since you have a key... but you get what i mean! lol!!! Also obtaining the 4 elements in FSA is sort of intertwined with rescueing the maidens. BanaBana 21:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much finally someone gave me a good answer. Now I see there is a major difference. You wouldn't happen to know where I could see the plot or a video or something I can never find any info on those? --Remo 22:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

No sorry... You can probable find videos from FSA on youtube, but I've had little luck with FS... I will try to get the backstory that was given in the manuel and other information on here, that is, once I find the instruction manuel... I can't find anything X.X btw, some friends and I might do a Four Swords Trilogy marathon similar to what the Mariomarathoners and Zeldafour48 did, but we don't know for sure yet....
