The Lost Gem: Why "Zelda: Four Swords" for DS is the Rarest Quest in Hyrule
Originally, Four Swords was a multiplayer-only bonus included with the Game Boy Advance port of A Link to the Past in 2002. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise in 2011, Nintendo released the Anniversary Edition for free on the DSi Shop and 3DS eShop.
Current Status: delisted and unavailable for legal download. While the original A Link to the Past & Four Swords was added to Nintendo Switch Online in 2024, it is the GBA version, which lacks the Anniversary Edition's exclusive single-player mode and extra stages. ROM & Emulation Considerations
