The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords On 3DS Free For Limited Time
Nintendo has announced today that it’s giving every 3DS owner a free copy of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition. This is an update to the multiplayer mode that was available with the Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past.
Now through Sunday, February 2, the title can be downloaded to 2DS and 3DS systems at no charge. Four Swords is a multiplayer title (though there is a solo option) in which players work together to save Zelda from the wind mage Vaati.
There is a competitive aspect to the game, as players are racing to collect rupees while solving puzzles together. You can play solo, but the better option is to get some friends together in the same room.
Time’s limited, so be sure to get your copy before time is up. If it’s A Link to the Past you’re looking for, that title is now on the Wii U eShop here in North America.

Our Take
There are now three Nintendo 3DS units in my house. I’ve never had the opportunity to play Four Swords, and I’m eager to finally get a chance (and for free no less).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
