The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Puzzle-adventure where you control four copies of Link at once, switching between them to solve environmental puzzles and fight enemies. The game breaks Hyrule into discrete stages rather than one connected map, letting you replay sections to find secrets you missed. Combat and puzzles require coordinating all four Links—forming specific shapes to press switches, tossing each other across gaps, or splitting up to cover more ground. The visual style and music echo A Link to the Past's top-down perspective. Designed around multiplayer, though you can tackle it solo by juggling all four heroes yourself. Stages mix overworld exploration with dungeon-style challenges that demand you think about positioning and timing across multiple characters simultaneously.
