Set generations after Twilight Princess, this cooperative multiplayer sequel to Four Swords has Link split into four again to battle Vaati and a resurrected Ganon, closing out the Child Timeline.
Placement Reasoning
Verified against Zelda Dungeon Wiki's Child Timeline article and CBR's 'LOZ Extended Child Timeline' guide, both stating Four Swords Adventures — not Twilight Princess — closes this branch.
Notable & Interesting
- Officially the final entry on the Child Timeline, per Hyrule Historia — not Twilight Princess as many assume.
- Used GameCube–Game Boy Advance link-cable connectivity so each player's GBA screen showed a private view of the action.
Connections
- Direct sequel to
Four SwordsVaati's sealing finally breaks.
