Somehow I played this authentically in 2023 with 4 people.

Game was fun, but the way they boot you out of the game with no way of saving progress if one of you disconnect, either by jerking your cable, accidentally turning off your GBA or running out of batteries(since you cant charge while playing), is such an attrocious design choice. Surely there could've been a work-around of some sort if they really tried it.

When nothing goes wrong, though, that's when you get a truly unique couch co-op experience, even if the game is a more streamlined and simple game compared to the other Zelda entries.

I vaguely remember playing a bit of this with 1 other person back in the day, I'm glad you had a great time but it felt rote with only 2 people. I guess its literally the only multiplayer Zelda game for a reason tho.

There's also Triforce Heroes, although I guess it's a tad more spinoff territory than Four Swords. That one is also fun with friends
