The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords Adventure ~Walkthrough~ Lake Hylia Note: You need 2000 force gems to complete a level but you can go back in time if needed at the end of each level. Press L to wake up your fellows after Kaepora Gaebora explains what is going on. After venturing for awile you’ll find a small red house. Go inside and a man will teach you about formations. After the man tell you how to do formations head west where there is a large block. Using the horizontal formation push it into the water to use as a bridge. Start picking up stones until you find an opening and go inside. Step on the switch and head north to grab a boomerang. Now leave the cave and head north. Use the boomerang to grab the key in the northeast corner and take it to the door Shadow Link locked. Go to the back door and lift up the large stone. Go down the steps and get to the other side. Now hit the switch and create a bridge. Head west and attempt to stop Shadow Link who is using a hammer to make you dizzy. After he leaves either by you or by himself step on the big switch. Grab the Force Gems and head north. Don’t being afraid to jump into the water and go under the bridge. Pick up the stone and you’ll see the biggest moron ever. Tingle. After talking with Tingle you can jump into the water east of where you talked to Tingle and swim around collecting force gems going south of the rocks but east. Go up one of the ladders on the west side of the waterfall. Go into the third to the right and step on the four switches. This creates a bridge near the left of the screen. Go into the second cave and cross the bridge. Leave on Link on the star shaped button by seperating. Have another cross the gap. Press “L” and all the Links will come back ot the one you were controlling. Now head south and hop into the water. Grab all the availible force gems then go into the whirlpool. Swim to the other side and climb up the ladder. Now push the large stone then stand on the squares that appear. You will be sent across the gap. Step on the switch and open the chests. One of them has a blue bracelet which decreases damage. Now go up the stairs. Cut all the grass and pick up all the stones after you get up there. After you find a hole jump down. After you resurface destroy all the soldiers. Go north. Cut the grass and step on all the switches. Open the chests and after go west. There will be a more advanced guard. Mini-Boss To beat the advanced guard use the box-formation. Wait for him to attack then slash him twice. Repeat until you beat him. Then after collecting all the force gems. Then walk west where you can slash the eyes if you have the powered up sword. End of stage one. Cave of no Return Okay first make your way through the darkness and grab a stupid lamp. Light the torches in the room and go north. Light torches and get force gems. Go to the top of the ring of fire and push the blocks to get around the blocks. Push all the blocks into the corners and the ring of fire will magically disappear. Open the chest and take the small key. Unlock the northeast door and go in. Push the blocks and kill the rats. Grab the key and unlock the east door. Have the color-coordinated Link push its block. Light the torches and leave. Fall through the trap-holes (there are four of them) until you get the heart container. When you finally get to the other side of the traps kill the gels and go through the east door. Make sure you destroy all the pots and find a key. After you do go out of the room and head into the northern door. Throw a Link over the pit and regroup making sure to grab the bow. Head north and shoot an arrow north through the fire lighting the torches. Shoot down the Keese after you hit the switch and go on making sure to collect the force gems. Head north down the steps. Meet your first mage. Note: I’ll just assume you open the chests and give the order of rooms you go through to exit. Go right, left, and then right again to exit making sure to pull the levers at the last one. Pull both to get a heart container also opening the door. Defeat Shadow Link. When he turns a color use that color Link to defeat him. Go north and break the barrier by hitting its eyes and exit. Hyrule Castle Head north to the entrance. Next head to the left and pick up the giant rock opening a cave. Go to the opposite side and up onto the castle walls. Push the blocks out of the way and step on a switch opening the gates. As soon as you go through the gates you get an awesome welcom by a huge number of enemy soilders who are read to kill you. Defeat them and head north. Pull the switch on the right to open a door. Once inside the castle go up the stairs and to your right. Follow the path and you’ll come to a building. Head through the back door that is in the middle. Garb the bow and fire an arrow through the door hitting a switch. Now go through the front door and hop off the wall onto the grass. Find the crack in the wall and throw a bomb at it. Jump into the cannon and press “A”. You will be fired out and if angled right you will find a chest with a small key. Hop back in and fire yourself onto the roof of the castle. Leap off the edge and back into the castle where you can unlock the door in front of the stairs. Keep going until you happen to stumble upon the guards. After you beat the guards one with a ball and chain bursts through the wall. My strategy is to get into a box and go right up under their noses and hack away until he dies. When he dies though get into a cross and ready for another swarm of guards. After those dies force gems fly in from the sky for your collecting. Take a right after exiting north and pull the big handle by using a formation of any kind except the cross. Grab the bombs from the opening that appeared and go north. Blow open the east wall and talk to the Zora-like creature. It will follow you. Now you can go to the west. Walk along the wall until you et past Shadow Link to avoid falling into a pit. Get in the middle of the four black switches and once in cross formation do a spin attack. Don’t go into the path that opened yet. Head west again and push a statue onto the star-shaped-switch beneath a pot and now go into the room. Push the block and head into the room to the north. Step on the switches and head into the room finding another Zora-like-creature. Go back to the electrical barrier to the east and the Zoras will become a Great Fairy and destroy everything. Cut down the curtains and press every button you see. Once on the castle room defeat the guards and head down the stairs that appear. You will face an easy Armos Statue which can be defeated by hitting it in the eye with arrows. Push the throne to the right using the vertical formation and get back to the top of the castle where you meet your first boss. Boss: Phantom Ganon Get into the horizontal formation and when he fires a ball at you deflect it back over and over again until he goes down. Then you can go up to him and hack him. To make hitting the ball easier, when you see him loading it go up pretty close to him and start mashing “B”. Easy as pie. Lake Hylia The Coast Okay to start off move the large stones and jump down onto the beach. Head down into the cave and push the block. Grab the bombs and destroy the north wall. Now open the chests and blow open the other side. Ta-da!! You are back on the beach. Go south and then east where you will find a house. If you want try to go through it but if you want to finish the game soon go around back and blow open a cave. Go in and head north. Smash the pots on the right and step on the switches. A bridge should appear. Head over it and explore the three paths. Blow open the walls in the back and when you want to leave go into the northern hole you made. Have one Link stand on one switch and another stand on the other which were hidden under pots. Now regroup and head south to your bridge and over it. Now blow open the wall where you will be on the other side of the house. Go east and jump down onto the beach. Go east past the octorocks. Step on the switch and a zora will appear. Go into the whirlpool. Swin left until you see a cave off to the right. Go in and get the slingshot. Afterwards go into the left cave and get it upgraded by the Great Fairy. Now go back to the zoras and best them with the upgraded slingshot. Head east and defeat the crabs. After they are dead collect the force gems and go into the new area. Now the fun begins as you play hide-or-go-BOOM! In here Shadow Link drops giant bombs which explode in 10 seconds so make sure to get into a cave before it blows. Keep throwing bombs at the wall before the giant bomb explodes to open paths. Repeat this process until you get to the other side. After that mishap go east. Cut down the bushes and find a hole. Drop down and get a heart container. Now go east and once again cut the bushes until you find another hole. Push the block in the hole left and go down. Go to the opening on the left and end up on the beach. “WOW!!” Is what you will probably say but get your sword ready for those “force gems” are armed and dangerous. Defeat them for 100 force gems each. Head east and behind the large tree. Walk through the cave and get back on the beach. Head east and see the mad pyro again. When you are finished getting force gems go northeast. To beat the crab use the color corresponding Link on the crab’s claws. Hit the eyes on Vaati’s barrier and leave. Village of the Blue Maiden Go north and talk to the owl. Then cut the bushes by the mini-pond and step on the switches. Afterwards go to the flower-patch and see the shiny stuff. After you see the stuff go south and talk to the old man. After talking to him he will give you a moon pearl which you take to the shiny spot. You will be transported to the dark-world where you can go to another portal to leave. Open the chests and head due west. Go through a passage in the woods beneath a guy which is important later. Talk to the mage and she gives you a moon pearl. Go to the central are and go north and then west. Go to the bottom of the long line of people and the moon pearl will open a portal. Go in and hit the button. Talk to the girl and run to her friend. He will give you the pegusus boots which you can use to get through the line. Break the bricks by the little girl by running into them with the boots. Leave the Dark World. Now go to the right of the house where the line is and look for a weird part of dirt. Walk inside and talk to the guy. Now run through the line with the boots and talk to the First Agent. Don’t bother memorizing it or any other part of the clue. Now go back to the guy near where you got the second moon pearl. Talk to him for another clue. Now go east two screens until you get to a house with four doors. Go into the house on the right and grab the lamp. Now set the stump on fire near the house with the four doors to get into the fenced off area. Go into the last door and talk to Agent Three. Now go west and then north. Find the last agent and talk to him. Head back to the headquarters. Talk to the leader and when he asks you what it means answer “Maidens.” Now grab his shovel and head to the house of pots. Dig in front of the house and find a hole. Jump down and go to the other side. Go south and cut down the bushes being sure to break the formation to hit the switches. Grab the force gems and the moon pearl and take it north between the two trees. Go into the northeast corner into the blue house. Talk to the left girl and get a fire rod. Use this to get into the Dark World version of the four doored house. Go into the secret passage to the east of the house and talk to the girl. Leave the Dark World with her letter and go to the grass patch and give it to the guy. He will give you a Roc’s Feather which is used to get across the hole in the long blue house. Have Link push the the barrels out of the way and get the book from the mage. Take it west one sceens and push the fat lady out of the way of the door. Go inside and open the chest. Break formation and have two Links grab the items. Go east a screen and go behind the secret agent. A portal should appear so you can go in. Go to where the house in the bubble is. Give the book to Iris and she will make the house re-appear. Go back to the real world and into the “new” house to find the couple together again. Go down the stairs and back out. Go east and beat Tingle to the purple force gem. Now go east and it starts raining. Go east again and battle Shadow Link. Do what you usually do and best him. Afterwards the people of the village thank you and you can head north and leave. Eastern Temple Head inside and smash the pots. Step on the switches and get a key. Go right and stand on the floor tiles. Grab the force gems and head left. Open the door and go through. Kill the stalfos and go north through the door. Avoid the rolling stones and kill the snakes. Go north again and kill Shadow Link and the Stalfos. Take the slingshot. Go west through the door. Shoot the switches and lower the spikes. Push the block left and head north. Beat the enemies and a chest with moon pearl will appear. Now push the block south and go west. Only get the chest on the right if you wish to live. The left one contains a huge bomb. Jump down the holes until you get everything you want and a key. Now exit this room and push the block east. Use the key to open the door to the south. Go in and use the moon pearl. Avoid the stones that roll and go to the east side of the room. Step on the tiles and go east. Now go downstairs and equip the bow. Run through the stones like a maniac and make your way back to near the old man. Shoot the eyes and open the chests. Now push the oversized block to the north and head east. Slash the vines near where you came back out but step on the switches before going in. Fire at the buttons until you hit them from the passage and a bridge will appear. Collect the force gems and head to the east side of the room. Press the raised tile and enter the room. Jump down to where the rats are and go through the north door. Defeat the wizzrobes and grab the moon pearl. Take it to the east side of the room and a portal will appear. Pull the levers and head back out and grab the bombs and force gems. Exit the room. Go east and blow some holes in the east, north and south walls inside the room being sure not to be hit by the rolling stones. Wander around and get everything you can. Now head west and unlock the door to the south. Break the pots and step on all the switches. When the spikes go down head south and fall into the trap hole. Be sure to run away from the stupid stone which stalks you. Go through the west door and destroy everything until you find the lamp. Make your way back to the bridge and light the lamps on the other side. Now use your sword to break the tiles in the next room and dodge everything else it throws at you. Now head due north into the next room. Hurry up and kill the stupid force gem stealing wizzrobes. I can’t find the big key to open the huge chest so deal with it and pick up everything else. Now go north and time fot the boss. Boss: Rock Arghus To beat this rock boss you must first jump down a hole hoping you don’t get hit and grab a boomerang. Exit the cave and start grabbing the flying rocks around him being sure to not get zapped. When all of the rocks are gone his eye tends to turn red. Hack it when it does. Between hits he will try to crush you. After he comes down slash him. Repeat until he dies. Death Mountain Death Mountain Foothills Head east and then north. Make you way to the first house killing all the green guards along the way. Grab the boomerang in this house and kill the rest of the guards. Go inside the other house but keep the boomerang. Now head north and collect the force gems with the boomerang. See I told you to get it! Okay after clearing the area head north again and take out the guards there along with those pyros using the fire rod. Now throw a bomb at the eastern side of the dirt patch and go in the cave that opened. Smash the pots and leave a Link on the button. Go north and grab the bow and then head south. Grab another bomb from that area and throw it at the wall on the far western side near the tree ontop of the cliff. Go inside that cave and with the bow hit the eyes activating a bridge. Regroup and head north out of the cave. There will be two ladders to choose from. Climb on the left ladder and talk to the geezer. Jump down near the huge boulder and open the chest. Now go back up and lift up the boulder and jump off as far to the right as you can get. Now continue east and talk to the man inside the flaming house. After he tells you to push his house do so and its flames will destroy all the rock enemies. (which I would call gorons but they can’t, because in the next stage there are gorons!) After all of them are destroyed grab the Magic Hammers that appear and head west. Using the hammer on the rock enemies will kill them so take full advantage of that. After you take care of your bussiness with the rock guys head north and pound those stakes into the ground like the animals they are. Continue north and you’ll see Shadow Link in his own little world. I don’t know exactly what to do here except that I pounded the power-uped hammer by the gate and the bombs exploded burning the stump. Now you can pound the stakes and go east. See the pretty cyclops? Play a game of hack-and-run. The most you should slash him at a time is twice and then retreat by rolling. When he is dead head north through the opened path. Step on the switch to release three more cyclops’. Use only one Link to destroy them using the above method. Now head north. I know exactly what you’ll say. “****!!!!” or maybe “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!” Don’t worry. Be happy. Go inside the cave to the right of where you entered and talk to the mage. After talking to her open the chest. Do not under any cirrcumstance throw it in the cave. Chuck it straight on the ground only when you exit the cave! After reducing all the cyclops’ to blobs easily kill them and continue north. When you warp away just do the obvious but yet un-obvious. Head upwards. Yeah just head up and up and up until you exit. After finishing everyone that attacks you off head east and complete this stage! The Mountain Path After talking to the dumb and obnoxious owl head north and talk to the Goron. He will tell you to put out the fire so go into the cave and in horizontal formation grab pots and exit the cave. Break your formation so you control one Link. Start putting out the fires by throwing the pots that the Links are holding onto the fires. Continue this until they are all gone. Climb the north ladder and go into the cave to the left. Grab the water and put out the fire near the third cave. Go inside the second cave and grab the magic hammer. Do this by seperating and stepping over the block. Now go inside the third cave and make your way through it. Pound down the stakes and drop down from where they were. Push the rocks inside and it will roll over the holes creating paths. Do this until you get the pots with the four Links and exit using your new path. Take these jars up the huge ladder and go north. Do you see the ropes? I hope so. Using one Link chuck the pot I had you get at it. Now enter the nearby cave. Grab the boomerang inside and after the bombs explode, if the white one is gone, head up and if there is a hole jump in and up-grade your boomerang. Now get out of it and head east. The holes are filled by the boulders but only last for a short period. Wait until it is filled and then hurry over and continue east. Continue this way until you get to a ladder. Climb up it and go inside the house. Pound the stakes outside the house. Now push the house to the right. Don’t go inside the cave yet. Continue east and you will see a few Gorons and alot of fire. Get into whatever formation suits you and go wacko on the ground. Eventually two Gorons will come out. One has a key. Use his key to unlock the door in the cave. Now grab the jars and put out all the fire. Head north find Shadow Link. Defeat him and head north some more. Talk to the owl and head east. Ahh shadows. Keep on heading east and find the boss. Boss: Helmaroc King This guy is pretty easy. When he swoops down nail him with a bomb and he will crash into the cave. When he crashes go inside the cave and smash his head with the hammer. Continue this until he loses his mask. Now all you have to do is throw the bombs and slash his head. Continue until he dies. Tower of Flames Go inside and wait for the statues to stop breating fire for a short time. After they do smash the pots and step on the switch. Grab the slingshot that appeared after you pressed the switch. Use your new weapon to hit the switches. Now power up your slingshot and fire it reavealing the location of the last one. Hit it and head north. Walk around the flame statues until you get to the boomerang. Take it and head east into the next room. In here knock the enemies into the lava. Before you leave though collect anything inside of the pots including a button which gives you a heart container chest. Get on the floating platform and head west. Throw a Link onto the Armos platform and switch to him and regroup. Smash the pots and move the Armos onto the switches. Slash the psycho tiles and get the Roc’s feather that appears afterwards. Go east and jump the tiles. Head towards the northeast exit and smack the Shadow Link’s that are running into the walls in the next room. Smash the pots in the middle of the room and when the statues aren’t blowing fire step on them. Now head up to the northern wall and smash the pots there. Fall down the hole that should appear and grab the small key from the room in the right hole in the platform. Head back up and unlock the door on the west side of the room. Now to fight the guard with the ball and chain that has fire jump inside of the fire and do a downstab. Go crazy with this technique until he dies. Go north and grab the arrows. Hit the switches and get to the other side. Do this again until you get to the Shadow Links. Defeat them and head north. Now throw a Link across the gap and have him press the switch. Now regroup and find the switch inbetween the statues that activates the bombs to appear. Take them and head east. Mini-Boss To fight the dodongos you must put a bomb in their mouth when the suck in air to blow fire. Repeat this until they die. If they stop moving you probably hit them in the back with a bomb when it is vulnerable. Hit them with your sword and they die. Near the Fields The Field Go north and see a familiar face. Neato it’s Malon. Talk to her and learn she got stuck here after the guards turned traitorus. Answer yes to taking her home and start crossing the cannons. When you go through try not to let Malon get hit for she is slower than you. Try to go lower as the cannon balls roll towards you. After you get past them head east. If you find a heart angle your walking so Malon gets it if she was damaged and head along the path east until you find Talon. He thanks you by letting you ride horses and using his tools. Head down the steps near the house and grab the boomerang. Now go east and read the tablet’s inscription. It will give you a carrot. Throw it down and if you have played the Bucking Bronco mini-game you will get through this easy. If you haven’t then to turn “tap” the controls and to jump “tap” A. If your horse wears out along the way just run into one of the speed carrots and listen to their “Epona’s Song” (I love that) and keep marching on. After you make it to the end the sun will come out and you will lose your horse. Now go north and then east. You will find a house. Go inside and talk to the people. They will tell you to kill the one-eyed beasts. One of them will give you a key. So take it and unlock the storage shed east of there. Grab the pegusus boots and head north. You will see a log. So pick it up and toss it back down breaking it. Now pick up the stone and head down the steps. Give your boots to the fairy to get them upgraded. Now head south and then west. Now go north and pull the log out of the cave. Break it if you want but go inside the cave. Now come out and pull the log out of the way of the holes. Now have one Link go in the cave and press the star switch. Now after that have another Link run across the holes and push the blocks. Now regroup and go up the stairs. Grab the key and head east. Unlock the door and head north until you find the bow. Now head back to the fields and defeat all the one-eyed creatures. After you beat all of them go into the house where the people are. Talk to them and they will give you a shovel. Now take your shovel to the Great Fairy. Upgrade it and walk around near Tingle until it beeps. Dig in that spot. Make your way through the cave and grab the one thousand force gems that Tingle cannot lift. Head down the path until you find a group of soilders. Defeat all of them and guards with a ball and chain appear. After them another group of regular soilders appear. Now head north. Kill the two stalfos and you will be sucked into the Dark World. The large Stalfos is like a bigger soilder. After you defeat them you completed the level and got your first of four jewels. Head north and exit. The Swamp After talking to the owl head north. Avoid the poisoned swamp. Now head north again and see Shadow Link playing with bombs. Bomb the soft spots on the wall avoiding Shadow Link’s ammunition as best as you can. Now when you get to the section of the poisoned swap where you must throw a Link across to get to the other side I always died. You don’t want to die so hurry and throw all your Link’s across to one platform. Now hide as one before the bomb explodes. Exit and stay near the door. Switch to another Link and throw the other two across. Switch to the Link near the door and hide. Now when you come back out finish throwing one Link across and using him to regroup. Pick up the stones and go east. Now go downstairs and pick up the rocs feather. Now go above ground and jump the lilypads. You should then lift up the rock and head downstairs. Now jump into the cannon and get out of the cave. Head west and jump those lilypads. Now to beat the soilders easily get into a box and use the jump and downstab technique. Now go west and find some zoras that pop up underneath the lilypads. Step on one and aim it so you go west onto the grass. Cut the grass until you find some switches. Step on them and head north making sure to grab the force gem. Use the lilypads to access the different areas with the switches. After you press them all more lilypads will appear.

Light the lamps that are in the norhtern part of the area by standing on the switches. Boss time. Boss: Jalhalla To beat him I reccommend leaving three Links on the switches and having one attack when he becomes vulnerable after he sees light. Repeat the process until he dies. Infiltration of Hyrule Castle Head north and try not to make any noise. If you do here is what to do. You will end up in jail. Break the pots and head through the cave.
