Hero's Trial
The Hero's Trial is a stage in Four Swords Anniversary Edition.[1]
Entrance to the Realm
The Hero's Trial appears once either five Medals of Courage or 30,000 total Rupees have been obtained. Initially a rock spire on the eastern coast of Hyrule, lightning strikes the area to reveal a sword-like structure.
Like Vaati's Palace, the Hero's Trial entrance has three color-coded doors. However, each door has a unique set of non-randomized levels. Initially, only the silver and golden doors are visible, and the silver door must be completed first.[2]
Once the golden door has been completed, a shutter will open to reveal the third and final door.[2]
The Hero's Trial is themed on alternate versions of each of the four main Stages. The door levels are based on Sea of Trees, Talus Cave, and Death Mountain, respectively, with every door's third and final level being an alternate version of Vaati's Palace.
The levels are longer and significantly more difficult than all other Stages, though they do not contain Bosses. To commemorate the series's 25th anniversary, a "25" design is also worked into areas of certain levels. For example, one of the Talus Cave levels includes a set of panels viewable only by Green Link and a set of panels viewable only by Red Link, which together form the number "25."
Rewards
Link will gain the ability to use the Hurricane Spin after completing all three levels. It can be used anytime during solo or multiplayer gameplay.
