There's a bunch of levels, yeah.Incitemaybe said:
As far as I can remember...
- Tutorial Levels (the one with the ? sign is quite lengthy)
- Forest world (3 levels including boss)
- Volcano world (3 levels including boss)
- Frozen world (3 levels including boss)
- Sky world (3 levels including boss)
- Memories world
- - 3 SNES levels
- - 3 NES Levels
- - 3 GB Levels
- Extra difficulty tower
- - 9 Levels divided in 3 worlds
So yeah, that's 26 levels, 4 bosses and the tutorial stuff.
You mean the thing that has four small sphere things and each one is of another color? Just remember the color of each part and attack with the Link of said color in his part. So if for example, with your Red (or blue or purple) Link can see a green sphere on the left, change to the Green Link and attack the left side, even if you only see a sphere colored differently on another place.trinest said:

So I just found the hardest enemy in Zelda 1 in this game. 4 or 5 of them, in a small area. Killed me. 
I was in
My first game over, too.
Also, I'm amazed by how much alike this game is to Minish Cap. Vaati's area,
And of course, Minish Cap uses the same art style, the Gnat Hat, the Four Sword, etc.
I was in
area 3 of the expert mode dungeon's door 1.
Also, I'm amazed by how much alike this game is to Minish Cap. Vaati's area,
Palace of Winds, is a level in Minish Cap. It even looks similar to the one in Minish Cap.
Is the Hero's Trial the 'hard-as-fuck' (sorry) new world that shows up when you get 30k rupees? I have the game in Japanese and I don't know the English titles, but I'll assume it is..Hylian7 said:
If so, yeah... it's quite hard. The first door (to the first 3 maps) is alright-ish.. but the second door.. wow. They definitely went nuts there. I fear what might be waiting on the third one.
so after you beat memory land it looks like we have to
.
go through the first 3 areas again and get atleast 3000 rupees to get a golden key for each. I just wasted a bunch of time doing the forest again and came up 298x short cuz I didnt know and she tells me I dont have enough...grrr
For the original game's worlds, Vaati's Palace expands if you have the better keys and select the other doors. I want to say it goes to 12 floors? It's pretty epic. I don't remember if the other worlds change for the key quests though, other than the higher Rupee requirements... I truly am getting senile, heh.Mik2121 said:
Played Realm of Memories with a couple friends last night. Nostalgia aside, the LTTP level in particular is overreliant on enemy rooms, but the rest were decent.

Oh and the first 4 worlds feature levels that are partially randomised as well!
Oh, didn't know that, that's pretty cool!. How do I get the golden keys? I believe I have mostly all silver keys? At least they look silver, anyway.zigg said:
But yeah, on Vaati's Palace, I have access to two doors, but there's a third door I just can't access, I guess that's where you need the golden keys.
Mik2121 said:
On GBA, it's been first run @ 1,000 Rupees to get silver, second @ 3,000 to get golden, and third @ 5,000 to get the "rainbow" Hero's keys. i.e., my friends and I easily racked up 6,000+ last night in each world, but since it was our first run we couldn't get the higher-level keys. We have to go back first...

Mik2121 said:
And you don't have all golden keys at least? I'm confused. That's what I would expect if you had all golden or a mix of golden and Hero's keys from the first three levels. Door #1 for silver, #2 for golden, #3 for Hero.
I wonder if they changed up some of the progression in this version.
Jocchan said:
I would assume so, just by scoring 5,000 on a single run on any of the first three worlds, but I don't know for sure.
I'm stuck in the single player. I'm on the Ice looking cavern (I don't remember its name) and I don't know how to beat the Slug once you've pushed it onto the ice and some colors balls appear around it, it asks me to attack paying attention to the colors, but no matter which Link I use, I get electrocuted.

It's a DSi game. Have you not played a single DS game on your 3DS yet? DS/DSi games do not allow you to suspend play.

I am having an issue which is really turning me off...
I have a Nintendo DSi and 3DS. I downloaded Four Swords on my 3DS no problem! A long with the ambassador games etc...
But when it comes to my Nintendo DSi ( after trying to update my DSi to go to the shop channel like 5 times... it would keep failing in the middle of downloading) I got on to the DSi shop channel.
It will not let me download Zelda! It goes though all the correct motions, while downloading it just disconnects! Everytime. I tried changing my router so my DSi would go though DMZ mode... I also restarted my modem and router a few times.
It connects.... (takes forever,) I go to get zelda... and boom. I also have DSi points to spend... I spent 500 on tetris and it bombed too!
So now I have wasted 500 and still can connect but I get kicked off.
Any ideas??? It's really pissing me off.... Last game I got was Shante, didnt give me a damn problem then.......

It's a downloadable title, though. I wasn't aware that it wouldn't act like the other downloaded titles I have.Nuclear Muffin said:
they are all VC, so I guess I didn't have any DSi software.
Doesn't make it any better. With how long the levels are, it's quite annoying to go sleep mode or bust.
Had this released a year or two ago, sure. But since it is new, and the 3DS is out, it makes sense to give it some of the functionality.
Just annoying. And I know, 'free' and all that. Still annoying.

it's not too amazing. Capcom were developing Minish Cap, and Nintendo asked them to put it on hold to make Four Swords, so they used the same sprites they had already developed, and tied the plot of the two games together. after finishing Four Swords they went back and finished Minish Cap.Why would you do that? said:

how do you save this game?
I have had this problem with the DSi and my router. What router do you have?SnakeSlashRO said:
The way we combat it is to only ever have ONE DSi connected to the Internet at any one time, and that includes a 3DS. No one in the room can move (we have no idea if this helps, but every time we all sit still, downloads complete fine) and YOUR SYSTEM MUST NOT MOVE! That last part is crucial.
You still have Tetris. You can redownload anything you bought, so just try again until you get it.
Anyway, I have a D-Link router. DGL-4500 IIRC.

two restarts in the forest area and im stuck. they presented an area where i need pegasus boots and they didnt give me any. other area i fought these red-legged one-eyed guys who clam up when hit. i fought them for 30 minutes.......none of them died.

On the GBA, it worked for multi, with the single exception of a communication failure making trekking for 45 minutes through the Hero's run of Vaati's Palace a bit painfulbut other than that, it was just fine. We were all there together to marathon it together.
Basically, the SP mode in this game is crap. It needed to be given serious consideration including level design and progression and they basically said "welp you guys wanted to play it so bad, here's a second Link and a handful of things to make it just barely possible, have fun on the 2P level sets"without actually giving much if any consideration to making it playable.

To be fair, that's the tutorial. Normal level progression isn't anything like that area.

Hahaha, I love how weird this game sounds. The game plays great, but the sound is just weird. Especially the music. It's so un-Zelda like, and I love it. <3

I did the same thing. Now I finally get to play it. So good!
BTW, if you've never played this before, DO THE TUTORIALS. At least the first two and the magnet. There are new mechanics that can be hard to figure out on your own. I got stuck on the fire-sparking in the forest.
Single player is fun for puzzles, but pretty miserable for combat. The moblins with spears are much harder to hit than I remember anything outside of Zelda II being. The critter at the end of the LTTP stage, whose head you have to attack with one color and whittle him down, and who bounces you away with every hit, and who regenerates very quickly? He sucks.
Lack of a quicksave is awful, almost unforgivable.
If I knew you had to play through the game three times, I wouldn't have spent so much time cutting grass. Jerks.

Don't want to seem too negative, but I found the game a bit boring and a drag so far. Been playing with my sister, I just hope it picks up soon. I knew from before it wasnt a normal Zelda game with an overworld/dungeon and set item design. However I expected the collecting rubees to be more fun.
My girlfriend and I got our asses kicked a few times by the first set of Hero's Trial levels.
The Grezzo levels are definitely better than what was in the original. I really liked the setup of the Hero's Trial puzzles. They do throw you into hordes of enemies frequently, but these situations take teamwork to actually get out of them successfully. That part with the controllable platform, Moblins, and eyes was pretty cool, as well as the part where one person gets stuck on the island with the fence around it, with the horde of those enemies that you have to throw to the other person to kill. Our solution for that ended up being interesting since we went in there not properly equipped. She would get stuck in the fence, and throw the enemies to me from the opposite side while I shot them midair with arrows.
We got to the third once, died on the room full of Darknuts. The next time we got to the same place again, barely scraped by past the Darknuts, then we saw all the flying tiles and weren't sure what to do next. I saw a Gibdo on the ice and started going for it, and my girlfriend just died (putting us down to 64 rupees), then I got hit by a tile right after that.
