The Coast

The Coast is the first stage in Eastern Hyrule in Four Swords Adventures.[1] After rescuing the Blue Maiden from Hyrule Castle, the four Links are told to travel by sea to enter the Eastern Temple, via The Coast and its neighboring town, the Village of the Blue Maiden.

Features and Overview

The Coast's terrain boasts a multitude of elevations from Water paths to hilly levels, although the majority of the area is bound to the shoreline. Due to the lack of plants in the area, it is difficult for the Links to replenish their Hearts. While vegetation is scarce, the amount of Enemies in this region more than makes up for it, with Octoroks, Zoras, and Sand Crabs appearing abundantly. The Links receive the upgraded Slingshot from a Great Fairy in a Cave beneath a Whirlpool to fight off ten Zoras.[2] Shadow Link appears three times, twice threatening the Links with Giant Bombs and towards the end of the level, the Links come in contact with a Manhandla.

In respect to the inhabitants of this region, an isolated couple lives here in a beach-side House: a man and his obese wife. The man advises the Links to utilize a hidden Cave nearby in order to get past his home, because his wife refuses to move from the only Door that would grant the Links further progression through the level.[3] He suggests they use Bombs to blast open the Cracked Wall blocking it.[4] His wife claims that since she cannot fit through the Door, she will not let anyone else through it either.[5]

A Thief can be found in a Cave on the beach east of the House. He provides advice for adventurers,[6] teaching them how to use Formations.[7]
