Story (Four Swords)

Many years ago, the wind mage Vaati would use his powers to terrorize the land of Hyrule, until a young boy wielding a sword that could split his body into four copies of himself challenged him and defeated him, trapping Vaati inside the blade. The sword became known in legend as the "Four Sword", and a shrine was built to protect its power. In the present, Princess Zelda senses something at the Four Sword Shrine and has Link accompany her as she investigates. At the shrine, it is revealed that Vaati has broken his seal and freed himself, capturing Princess Zelda. Link draws the Four Sword, its power splitting him into four individual Links who must now work together to save the princess and defeat Vaati once again.

Gameplay

When the game is started up, the player is taken to a new title screen where they can access their save files for both games. When a game is selected, the player is taken to the title screen for that game.
