Before you start

Standalone GameCube adventure with single-player control of four Links or cooperative GBA connectivity. Do not mix it with GBA Four Swords.

This stage structure does not use continuous equipment progression like Ocarina of Time. Changing stages can reset tools or conditions.

Main route & dungeon order

An ordered progression route. Use the stated coverage to distinguish this overview from a room-by-room solution.

1. 01

   Stage 1

   Start in Whereabouts of the Wind and use formations: a line for wide attacks, a column for narrow paths and separated Links for distant switches. Collect enough Force Gems to break barriers.

2. 02

   Stage 2

   Proceed through Eastern Hyrule, Death Mountain and Near the Fields. Each of the eight major areas contains three stages; an item may only be available for the current stage.

3. 03

   Stage 3

   Next clear The Dark World, The Desert of Doubt and Frozen Hyrule. Solve spatially separated tasks with all four Links and watch transitions between normal and dark layers.

4. 04

   Stage 4

   Realm of the Heavens is the final major area. Tower of Winds leads into the final Vaati and Ganon encounters; escaping with Zelda is part of the finale.

Collection goals & secrets

Force Gems, heart containers, Force Fairies, stage rewards and optional secrets inside individual levels.
