| − | '''''Four Swords Adventures''''' is the eleventh installment of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. ''Four Swords Adventures'' is the sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', and it incorporates a graphical style that combines ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. It is the only console ''Zelda'' title to date to incorporate multiplayer elements into its main campaign. And because of its single player elements, ''Four Swords Adventures'' is also the first game in the series to allow a single player to control more than one Link at once, and it utilizes various methods to allow the player to make use of the four Links, such as formations. Also, it is the only title to break locations and temples up into succinct, separate stages and levels which can be replayed even after beating them once. The game itself, though an innovation in ''Zelda'' gameplay, is heavily inspired by the music, graphics, and locations of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. |

||
| − | ===Intro=== |
||
| − | [[File:Maidens.png|thumb|250px|left|The Maidens opening a portal to the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]]]] |
||
| − | The story takes place after [[Four Swords]], when [[Link]] and [[Princess Zelda]] successfully managed to seal away the evil wind sorcerer [[Vaati]] in the [[Four Sword]]. Peace was believed to have finally been restored to Hyrule. However, one night, an ominous cloud covers Hyrule, throwing fear into the people of Hyrule. <ref>{{Cite|…dark clouds covered all of Hyrule. Ominous clouds that filled all those who saw them with fear... A sense of dread swept across the land.|Narrator|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> Zelda then calls upon her most trusted childhood friend again. She wants to check up on the Four Swords again, fearing that the seal placed upon Vaati might have weakened. Inside the castle they meet up with the gathered six [[Maiden|maidens]], whose purpose is to protect Hyrule as well as the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]]. <ref>{{Cite| The six maidens who guard Hyrule are gathered here in the castle… I'm worried about the seal that binds the wind sorcerer Vaati. |Princess Zelda|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> With the help of the maidens Zelda summons a portal to the sanctuary. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, before they get a chance to enter, a dark figure that looks like Link appears. The [[Dark Link]] seals away the six maidens and Zelda in a dark crystal, before he retreats into the portal leading to the sanctuary. Link is left with no choice but to follow. Arriving at the sanctuary, the dark Link taunts Link into pulling the Four Sword, resulting in Link splitting in four again. Likewise, the seal on Vaati is broken, and he slowly creeps forward with a maniacal laugh. The four Links do not get a chance to follow the Dark Link before being thrown away from the scene by Vaati’s magic. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Hyrulean Adventure=== |
||
| − | The four Links are awoken by [[Kaepora Gaebora]], who calmly informs them of the situation and what they must do, which is to first rescue the six maidens. [[Shadow Link]], as he calls him, has spread chaos in Hyrule, scorching villages and throwing them into the dark world. Traveling across Hyrule they witness the chaos brought about by Vaati and Shadow Link, and in order to release the dark seals placed by Vaati the four Links must collect force gems in order to properly power up the Four Swords and grant it the power to repel evil. <ref>{{Cite|Find the six shrine maidens and Princess Zelda, and you will also find Vaati.

Rumors also reach them of a King of Darkness named [[Ganon]]. |
||

| − | Upon reaching the temple where the mirror is being held, their suspicion is confirmed, as the Mirror has indeed been stolen. The Red maiden who is rescued there, reveals that she knows of a man named [[Ganon]]dorf of the [[Gerudo]] tribe, but finds it unlikely that he is the cause of the recent events.<ref>{{Cite|Ganon...

Once the party has climbed the Tower, Princess Zelda is finally rescued. In the Realms of the Heaves, the four Links makes their final battle with their dark doppelganger Shadow Link as they secure the Dark Mirror. Princess Zelda uses her power to create a rainbow bridge, allowing them to enter the [[Palace of Winds]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Inside, they encounter [[Vaati]]. This time they finally manage to completely defeat him. With Vaati gone, the Palace of Winds starts to collapse, as it’s relying on his magic to keep itself in the sky. The party retreats back to the Tower of Winds. Once there, they hear the voice of the culprit behind everything, Ganondorf, who mocks Vaati attempting to stop them. The party escapes the palace and down through the Tower of Winds, which at this point has also started to collapse. Just before reaching the exit, the floor beneath them collapses, and they fall into a dark room. Ganondorf then appears as a patch of darkness. Zelda tries to seal him away but fails, and once again Zelda is taken captive. Assuming the shape of a pig and the final battle between the four Links and Ganon commences. Midway through the battle, Zelda is freed, and together they defeat Ganon. With the combined power of the six maidens, Ganon is ultimately sealed away in the Four Sword. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the aftermath of the journey, the Four Swords is laid to rest again in the Four Sword Sanctuary, and the four Links joins into one single Link. The six maidens and Zelda form a pyramid like barrier around the Sword, so that no one might touch it again. Outside the Castle, celebration is at hand, signalizing peace, and Link seem to be greeted by the crowd as a true hero. |

| − | ==Gameplay== |
||
| − | This title is unique in having two main styles of gameplay, Single Player and Multiplayer. Even as a Single Player game, there will be 4 Links to control. The game mechanics ease this feat by having 4 set [[Battle Formations]] for the Links to battle with. When not in formation, one can choose to have the remaining Links follow him or stay seated until switching between them. As a multiplayer with 4 players, each player will control their own Link. A competitive atmosphere is achieved by the stages ranking and rewarding everyone upon completion, as well as the ability to attack one another. With fewer than 4 players, one may pick up an extra Link to control. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The GameCube controller can be used only in Single Player. Multiplayer requires the use of GameBoy Advances. While off of the main screen, the player will be able to see game action on the GameBoy Advance screen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Shadow Battle]] is the multiplayer battle mode, an alternative to the multiplayer co-op gameplay. The Links battle one another in death matches. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Japanese version features a mode that follows the story of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' called [[Navi Trackers]] and included Japanese voice acting for [[Tetra]] and her crew. |

Revision as of 08:36, 5 December 2012
Template:Dungeons Insect Cavern is the fourth dungeon in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. The structure is located on a mound located within the Gooey Swamp. The entrance is swarming with large bees, and it cannot be accessed until the Queen Bee offers to take Tingle to the top of the mound... for a price. The actual doorway will not open until Tingle has activated four switches located throughout the swamp. To do this, he must blast the stone-covered switches with a Tingle Bomb.
The inside of the Cavern is poorly lit. It will cost Tingle 3,000 Rupees to enter through the main gate. Shortly after entering, Teddy Todo will make an appearance, and disappear.
Through the dungeon are chambers filled with poison gas, large spikes, and various other traps. There are a total of three Insect Heads, each of which must be destroyed to continue on. The Insect Heads act as mini mini-bosses. Part of their bodies lie in the underground cavern, while their heads stick through various caves in the overworld. They are destroyed when Tingle throws a total of three bombs at each and makes contact.
The boss of this level is the Ultra Death Bug, which is very similar to the boss in Hero's Shrine. After the boss has taken a lot of damage, and morphed a time or two, it will take on the form of Gargantu-Bug, which is far superior to its previous forms. After it is destroyed, his body will yield 40,000 rupees.[1]
Theory Warning
It has been speculated by many fans that this boss is the same as the one in the Hero's Shrine Dungeon, Death Bug, although it was destroyed during that battle. The reasons for this belief are Pinkle's comment to that effect,[2] the fact that the bosses are both similar in appearance and title and that they are both fought the same way. It should also be noted that that boss changes its form often, thus meaning that if it was the same, it could very well have slight alterations.
