Zelda - The Four Swords Adventures Rated

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-and-coming-addictions dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The GameCube has had a drought of games since the start of spring. Many gamers are eagerly awaiting 'the next big game,' The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords Adventures. The game, which is set to be released this June, has already been released in Japan and a full review from the SiliconEra website. According to the piece, the game is 'easy to learn, innovative and can appeal to people of all ages', but the reviewer also states that the US release of the Four Swords will be minus some Japanese features, as it will be missing the Navi Trackers mini game."

  1. Navi Trackers by Blackwulf · · Score: 4, Informative

    Navi Trackers was the main reason I was looking forward to this game. I played Tetra's Trackers at E3 last year (with English voices, no less) and it was a LOT of fun. I felt it would have made a great minigame. (Most people were upset at the "gimmick" of using 4 GBA's to control the action, but once I got past that line of thinking, I actually enjoyed myself immensly.)

    And I guess since it's so language heavy, it wouldn't be a good import. Ugh.

    At least Four Swords was just as fun.

      The main reason it's not in there is because of the American public generally not liking it as much as the rest- if you really want it in the US version, then try getting as many people calling Nintendo asking about it.

      Hey, it worked for the Wind Waker bonus disc.

  2. Re:Zelda is the first gay video game character by consolidatedbord · · Score: 4, Informative

    Zelda is a female, and usually gay females are referred to as lesbians. I am assuming that your ignorance of the game led you to beleive that the main (male) character was named "Zelda" and thus your use of the word "gay." This obviously makes no sense since the stories are, in a nutshell a male rescuing a female. How is this in any sense homo-erotic?

    Nice to know that Japanese companies still don't understand one of the biggest markets they have. This interweb thingy is just exacerbating the situation.

    Four players, four gameboys... that suggests that each player has his/her own gameboy... makes sense to me.
