Infendo PSA: Download Four Swords before it’s too late!

Thursday, February 16th, 2012 at 9:17pm by Eugene

The 25th anniversary of Zelda may have happened in 2011, but Nintendo has still given you time to download a free trip to Hyrule on your 3DS or DSi. If you own one of the two handhelds, you have until February 20 to download Four Swords on the DSiWare and the 3DS eshop. Act soon and stop procrastinating, you only have until Monday!

Four Swords was originally a free add-on the the Game Boy Advance version of Link to the Past. With three friends, the game is a blast! I actually downloaded the game on my 3DS and my DSi, just so I could loan out one of my systems when I wanted to play the game with a friend. I still think it was a missed opportunity for Nintendo to not add an online mode, but that’s another story.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords now available for download on Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS systems

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 at 3:23pm by Holly

Quick! Head over to the Nintendo eShop or DSiWare Shop to download The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition for free before it’s too late! Okay, so it won’t be too late until February 20th of next year. Still…

I didn’t get to experience much of the original Four Swords, but, as I understand it, this version can be completed solo, while the original could not. It is undoubtedly more fun to play with a friend, however, so be sure to find a buddy!

What are your thoughts on the latest Zelda 25th Anniversary offering?

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition dated, arrives Sept 28

Saturday, September 17th, 2011 at 4:00pm by Eugene

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of everyone’s favorite green hero, Nintendo announced at E3 that they would be giving away a free downloadable Zelda title to anyone who owns a Nintendo DSi, DSi XL, or 3DS. That title is aptly named The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and starting September 28, you can grab a copy for yourself.

Nintendo was kind enough to show off the title to anyone who attended their non-TGS TGS event this past week, and as it turns out the game has been given a few upgrades since its original release nearly a decade ago. For starters, the entire adventure can be played in single player this time around. If playing solo, an additional Link will appear on-screen that can be controlled independently by selecting them with the L and R buttons.

Four Swords Anniversary Edition also will feature two new areas not found in the original. Each area will consist of three levels that when completed will gain access to an all new skill for Link.

I for one am extremely excited about the prospect of a multiplayer Zelda adventure that I can take with me on the go. The only missed opportunity that I think Nintendo could have capitalized on would have been the addition of online play. Oh well, the game is free after all. Be sure to check the eShop in two weeks time to receive your free goodies. The game will remain free until February 20, 2012, so be sure to snag one before then.
