The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is coming to DSi Ware next week on September 28th.  The game will be completely free for a limited time, almost 5 months in total, until February 20th 2012.  While the original GameBoy Advanced / Gamecube title required link cables between the systems to play the four player co-op mode, the new game will allow for wireless LAN play between Nintendo 3DS,  Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL systems.

We previously reported that The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures would be coming to DSiWare in the future, and for free, to boot. Nintendo has just revealed that it will be available in September.

At Nintendo's E3 conference, a brief little snippet was dropped that was good news for co-op fans.  The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures will be released in the DSiWare store this fall, for free.  Released originally as a bonus with the GBA version of A Link to the Past, the game was remade and released for the Gamecube, using the quirky GBA link cable to great effect.  We covered this version of the game here.  It had long been rumored that a DS remake was in the works, and now it appears the rumor is becoming fact.  Recently, Nintendo confirmed that the DSiWare release will be the GBA version.  This is unfortunate, as the Gamecube remake was a significant upgrade, particularly visually.  Still, free is free, and the core gameplay of four Links running around solving puzzles together is awesome, regardless.  DSi and 3DS owners can look forward to Four Swords this September.
