It&rsquo;s a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, a 4-player co-op, multiplayer-only game originally released as a bonus extra on the A Link to the Past GBA cartridge.<\/p>\n<p>The game features a series of randomised dungeons across four stages, and requires players to work closely together to solve puzzles and progress.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo&rsquo;s not said anything about online play, so it&rsquo;s presumably supporting local wireless only until someone says otherwise. Bit of a shame if there&rsquo;s no online play, but hey, it&rsquo;s free.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;ll be coming out (again) on an as yet unconfirmed date sometime &ldquo;in September&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>In related news, Nintendo also recently announced that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword would be launching in November.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/16760-Legend-of-Zelda-Four-Swords-now-free?p=501450#post501450\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Legend of Zelda Four Swords<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FREE STUFF FREE STUFF FREE STUFF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
