	What is Four Swords all about? The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past / Four Swords is really two games in one. A Link to the past is a single player adventure, and Four Swords is a multiplayer game for two to four players. Players cooperate to conquer dangerous dungeons, and at the same time compete to see who can collect the most Rupees. It's fun with two or three players, but it's even better with four players.
	Does each player need to have a Game Pak to play Four Swords? Yes. Each player must have a Game Boy Advance and a Game Pak. Also, you'll need Game Boy Advance Cables to connect the systems. Here's exactly what you'll need for each combination of players.     Two Players: One Game Link Cable, two Game Paks and     two GBAs.     Three Players: Two Game Link Cables, three Game Paks     and three GBAs.     Four Players: Three Game Link Cables, four Game Paks     and four GBAs.
	Do your actions in A Link to the Past affect gameplay in Four Swords? Yes. If you learn a new sword move such as the Beam Sword attack in A Link to the Past, you can use the special move during your adventures in Four Swords. If you beat the final boss in A Link to the Past and Vaati in Four Swords, a new dungeon opens in A Link to the Past. And more!
	Where can I get gameplay help? Your best bet for gameplay help is the official The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past / Four Swords Player's Guide from the pro players at Nintendo Power magazine. It provides detailed maps and strategies for both A Link to the Past and Four Swords. Click here to purchase it at Nintendo's Online Store
	How can I find out how many Pendants/Crystals Link has? While in the overworld, press the Start Button to access the Items subscreen. The Pendants and Crystals found will be displayed on the right-side of the screen in the middle box. Any Pendants or Crystals which haven't been found yet will be gray in color.
	I picked up a fish. What do I do with it? Link can bring it to the man who sold him a Bottle to receive some Rupees, or Link can throw it back into the water for some extra Rupees.
	An imp cursed me. How do I get rid of the "½" symbol above my Magic Meter? The "curse" actually allows Link to only use half as much magic as before (which is a good thing).
	Where is a good place to build up Rupees? Go to the Desert in the Light World. There is a cave under a rock next to the middle-aged man. Move the rock, enter the cave, lift the pots and leave. When you leave, the Rupees in the cave will reset. Here are the basic locations of chests which contain 300 Rupees: Light World: South of Link's House. Light World: In the Sanctuary (via the Graveyard). Dark World: In the Village of Outcasts. Search the top-right house. Dark World: In the Village of Outcasts. Search the Chicken Coop. Dark World: South of the Bomb Shop.
	I entered a room and all the doors are shut. How do I get out? There are three possible solutions: 1. Destroy all the enemies in the room. 2. Find a floor switch to step on. Pick up either jars or skulls to find a floor switch. or look for a slightly raised section of floor. This may be a switch to open the doors. 3. Pull on a wall lever to open a door.
	Can I defeat Laser Turrets? Laser Turrets, which are statues that shoot lasers, cannot be defeated. If Link is stuck in a room with a Laser Turret, Link will need to move a block to open any closed doors.
	I've lost my sword. Where did it go? Link probably left it with the Smithy brothers. Enter Kakariko Village after giving the Sword to the brothers for them to have time to forge a new one. For that time, Link will be without a sword.
	How do I get back to the Dark World? After Link defeats Agahnim in Hyrule Castle, entering the castle will take Link to the Dark World.
	What do I do with the treasure chest following me? Go to the Gossip Shop (Smithy's house in the Dark World) to find a treasure chest. In the Light World, take the chest to the man in the desert to get a Bottle.
	Why can't I use the Magic Mirror? If Link tries to use the Magic Mirror in the Dark World and he gets sent back to the Dark World, move to a different location. The game will prevent Link from teleporting into a bush, rock, building, etc, and then getting stuck.
	How do I get rid of the Goriyas (large rats) that mimic my movements? Aim an Arrow to one side of the Goriya, then move the opposite direction so that the Goriya moves into the path of the Arrow.
	I beat the game and a number was beneath my name. What is that number for? It represents the number of times Link was defeated during your quest.
