Four Swords

Editions & platforms

Before you start

GBA original bundled with A Link to the Past; Anniversary Edition adds a single-player option and extra areas. Availability and multiplayer setup depend on the version.

Cooperative Four Swords is neither Four Swords Adventures nor an ordinary single-player dungeon within A Link to the Past.

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

   Coordinate the Links through Sea of Trees, Death Mountain and Talus Cave. Stages combine variable rooms; shared switches, throwing partners and colour assignments form the core mechanics.

2. 02

   Stage 2

   Defeat each area’s boss and collect enough rupees for the keys. Key tiers determine which later challenge becomes available.

3. 03

   Stage 3

   A matching set of keys opens Vaati’s Palace. Replay areas for higher key tiers and harder clears; one victory over Vaati does not cover every challenge tier.

4. 04

   Stage 4

   In Anniversary Edition, track additional trials and single-player play separately. Its extra areas must not be listed as part of the GBA original.

Collection goals & secrets

Silver, gold and hero keys plus rupee results; Anniversary Edition’s additional areas and rewards separately.
