Walkthrough

    
                               

This walkthrough covers the Hyrulean Adventure: eight worlds with three stages each. In every stage, collect Force Gems to power up the Four Sword. If you don't have enough when you reach the end of a stage, you'll be sent back to the start; once you have enough, the dark barrier at the end can be broken. A Tingle's Tower in each world has multiplayer minigames.

Controls and formations: one player controls all four Links, who follow along behind. Split a Link off to send him alone, or regroup them. Line the Links up in formations (box, cross, wide, or in a line) to push big blocks, hit several switches at once and fight. A man at Lake Hylia teaches you how.
