Shadow Battle is the multiplayer mode in Four Swords Adventures. In Shadow Battle, you are battling to the death with your friends. You must be the last Link standing when you survive. But, in order to play this mode, you’ll need more than one player to start this mode.

So, before you start play, you’ll need to make sure you have enough equipment. Namely:

  • One Gamecube and one copy of Four Swords Adventure
  • Two to four Game Boy Advance – GameCube Link Cables
  • Two to four Game Boy Advances
  • One to three friends, unless you want more and take turns.

All players are required to use a GBA when they play on the multiplayer mode. When playing, controls will be used on the GBA and the screen will display your health, force gems, and weapon you are currently using. If you go into a cave or house, the action will move to your GBA screen.

Once everything is hooked up, get ready to play some awesome Zelda multiplayer. Zelda Universe will show you each stage you can play on, as well as all the items and equipment you can use to beat up on your friends.

So, go have fun already!
