Beta64 - Four Swords Adventures

- I remember picking up Four Swords Adventures at a local Blockbuster, but little did I know it was missing a game mode. In fact, everyone who wasn't in Japan or Korea was missing a mode called Navi Trackers. But why? Why would Nintendo remove an entire game mode? Well now it's time to find out! ...or not. Really, it's all just a theory. A theory on a game... A game theory.
Enjoy!

An unused text that says "Your Grave"...
...That's actualy pretty damn dark.
im pretty sure it was used for when someone died they would respawn and their death would be marked with a grave
I know right?
This is the legend of zelda
I still wish that Tetra's/Navi's Trackers was actually localized. I would have loved to play that.
+Reeveelution Well you could buy a Disk that bypasses Region lock on the GameCube and yes Nintendo did make the Disk but it cost like about $100-$200, but once you get that you can play the entire GameCube library for cheap manly because Japanese games cost less than US games.
+johnny elkins No. You can use a action replay disc for gamecube to play games region free and one of them costs only $20.
TheGBANerd Damn and i had one before XD
yep... They could have not authorized the player to choose his name (and name him 1, 2, 3 or else) prerecorded some lines with different intonation and that would have done the trick
Navi was also named tetra?
"Turn your ally into a sword!" STOP. YOU'RE ACTIVATING MY FETISH.
help
@CyclopsBalloon Official oh no
Removed features from Triforce heroes:
*Purple Link
*Link's dignity
*Link's fashion sense
Aerius Astrum another reason to blindly hate the game evin though we dont know if it is good or not 2014 was so muh liek 2008
+Aerius Astrum His fashion sense is Fabulous!
fourth reason:ganondorf
Aerius Astrum yep
Aerius Astrum 100% truth
They actually could of put Tetra's Trackers onto the remake for Wind Waker and put in online 4 player connectivity.
+Matthew Matousek, are you stupid? The Wind Waker HD is a remake an most people wouldn't care about a minigame, they just want to play Wind Waker in HD!
Or make a 3ds version of the game and allow streetpass
@@101PMF be polite.
Or if they make a Switch port, they could bundle it with the game, as they did with 3D World + Bowser's Fury. 😊
@@rorynator7567 be efficient.
I never had any friends to play 4 swords with...
***** I didn't know that.... I probably should have. lol
TheJJGamer Too bad you can't get it anymore.
PIEGAMER2oo3 There is always a way.
Without emulation
+PIEGAMER2oo3 what about ebay?
That T shield looks like a delicious steak... ok, now I'm hungry...
***** Your Grave
Jordan3D I just thought it was a place holder symbol.
Jordan3D That means that the T stands for T-bone.
+Jordan3D You're not a biggoron, are you?
+Jordan3D I think it means Template
or Test
"But this is all speculation, so don't take it as fact."
That's a sentence I assure you MatPat has never said in any episode of Game Theory.
So true.
ToadBrawlerSSB4 Lol.
+Robert Worden, that's just theory...
A GAME THEORY!
(imsosorryihadtoidontlikegametheory)
+Robert Worden but dosent he kind of say that when he says "but hey thats just a theory, a game theory". all theories are not fact until proven otherwise. :P
That's just a theory! A GAY THEORY!
This game will always have a special place in my heart.
No need to mention Australia separately when it comes to game versions. Game companies don't give a damn about us, so they just give us the European version with a different cover. Which means yes, our games a released late so they can add in French, German and other languages that no one in Australia speaks.
Good explanation about the differences between Japanese and English vowels too, as an English teacher in Japan, this resonates with me.
Well, the only one he didn't mention is the Korean version, which DOES include Navi Trackers. However, the fact that the Korean trailer shows Japanese text in the game footage (trailer-exclusive text is in Korean) makes it look like they got lazy (it was released much later than the other translations, so there's really no excuse).
Those are a special case. For us Aussies, we normally get thrown the European version. Sometimes they get really lazy and not even bother printing up a new cover, they just slap a Australian rating sticker overtop of the European one.
Kind makes up for the often close to a year delay in game releases doesn't it?
***** ...Except that his English vowel explanation was all kinds of wrong.
12:30 Well, That explains why the series is called 'Four swords'!
I thought you said Tetris Trackers...
Y'know it's a shame that the GBA to GC games never had a Wii U version, even though I don't have a Wii U I'd still love to see this and Pac-man VS. have a modern port.
Taylor Ringo what would the controllers be?
0:52 Thought you were going to say "Because i had no friends" xD
I mean, that would be a good excuse.
This should be remade for WiiU with the 3DS taking the place of GameBoy Advances.
Also with Tetra's/Navi's trackers
+MixedMonkeyTime
great idea
Yes. If the NX has that mobile connectivity, mobile devices as the GBAs. Load the NX app, connect to your console (or log on the console as a Guest) and start the game (4Swords).
They should've done the same thing with Windwaker HD for the tingle tuner
+AmbiguouslyAnonymous i agree
I CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME, THERES TOO MANY LINKS!!! - Ganon
7.8/10 too much link.
Pokemario99 I can't see the connection.
/pun
Why can't Ganondorf surf the internet?
+SSDARKPIT There's too many Links!
When all the porn ads get in the way of the free unblocked San Andreas online no virus
Actually, Link's sprite in Four Swords for Gameboy Advance and Gamecube, are both simply palette swaps of Link's sprite from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Cr33p3rKid the GBA version of Four Swords came out first (with ALTTP GBA) so the sprites were specially created for that. Minish Cap inherited the style.
It would be cool if they put Four Swords Adventures in the WiiU version. Stay with me on this. You can have four people play on their 3ds and not only that. Make Tetra Trackers Available as a 30th Anniversary Bundle. Just a thought
Your trying so hard to sale this but so many people just skipped it. Trying to make it interesting by saying stay with me on this.
+Kanimation Studios Thats Just my opinion. It may or may not happen
ok i know it sounded differnt but i meant it as a complement. I can't language.
Kanimation Studios+ Thanks for the Compliment. No Hard feelings Dude
"boing"
Good speech Mario!
for the 2 characters, just put ur initials
2:45 ohhhhh Tetra! I thought you said "Tetris" and i got reeeeally confused.
Yeah, me too. Even when he said Tetra's Pirate crew, I still didn't get it.
7.9999/10 IGN too much links
9:36 it looks like a very unlucky squirtle.
It wasn't Squirtle,it's something....else. It's a turtle half beast.

11:05 They knew about T Series before any of us ;.;
The amount of research you do for these videos is incredible! It's really awesome to see how all these weird mysteries surround Nintendo games during the 90s and early 2000s, whereas these days everything is just spoonfed to the public. Keep up the great work!!!
that second Link sprit is from Minish cap, i know that by heart
its all toonlink
windwaker, phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, four swords, minish cap, four swords adventures
Four Swords Adventures came out before Minish Cap, so the sprite isn't from Minish Cap.
thats the point the sprite for Minish Cap was already done and LATER used. Ninentdo is known for using assets that were created during the development of older games. orig02.deviantart.net/5c62/f/2012/085/4/0/link_form_zelda_minish_cap_by_danntex-d4u1rzh.png
AngelTribalWolf I agree
I would love to hear about CDI Zelda

SQAUDELAH! WE'RE OFF!
Sorry Zelda, not enough rubees.
5:07 Wait up, cornflakes Me: wtf?
"Your Grave" is probably an unused game over text.
14:48 Does Dolphin support Gameboy connectivity? (Guessing probably not)
MarlowPreston IDK about Dolphin, but NO$GBA emulator can, it can even do it over the internet.
But I guess you're trying to connect the gb to a gc, so...
MarlowPreston They just recently added gameboy connectivity to dolphin through Bishawk
MarlowPreston Yes, I believe so!
Yes it supports it. All you need is a VBA-M Emulator with a Bios of a Gameboy Advance.
MarlowPreston Yes, it does. The connectivity was recently addressed as a major feature that was implemented.

Congrats on 100k ive been a sub since u had less then 10k love your videos :)
Is it weird that I been watching this channel since the beginning and it still feels like it came out last week.
4:30
I watched this video years ago and I just wanna say this little tidbit has stuck with me and it really helped me learn how to pronounce Japanese later on.
This older intro always cracks me up!
Still waiting for CD-I link games! It’s been 3 years!
Wow, that was awesome! An unusual pick for BETA review, which was sweet! Everything mentioned in the video was so interesting! You should do Ocarina of Time next! :D
3:50
ZA WARUDO!
Why didn't they add this to wind waker HD It would been awesome
This is a fully fledged game
+Pumpkinpie3080 i think he means the tetras trackers game
+Pumpkinpie3080 i think he means the tetras trackers game
Congratulations for 100.000 subs!!!
Ah, I used to love this game…My older brother gave our copy to a friend, and to this day I still miss it lmao…Using that flame rod and burning entire fields for force gems hit different
Zelda games are collectibles
I wish that the “10th anniversary” edition of the original Four Swords was available for download. It had a single player option. But it was only available for a limited time and it has never come up again.
I'm just throwing this out there but what if they made Navi's Trackers for the WiiU?
I LOVED THIS GAME! I always want to hook up my Gamecube and play it again. Fingers crossed for some kind of rerelease.
Seems really strange they didn't include Tetra/Navi Trackers, but the game is still super fun without it! Awesome video!
This is one of my favorite co-op games. So friggen fun. I was very lucky to have 4 friends who all had their own Cube-Advanced cable.
Hey. Something you missed: In the beta videos, the color of the rupee beside the rupee counter indicates which Link each hud is for. Just wanted ta letcha know! Great video by the way!
7:06 well it isn't wind waker, its minish cap
So awesome to see a video on this game! *I freak'n love that game!*
........"BOING!"
This video reminded me of some thing.
This one time, I was watching a bunch of RedFalconGames's videos and I decided to take a break and watch PurpleRodri, and the video just so happened to have RedFalconGames as a guest.
I love the Internet.
I have the DSi remake of four swords
I do too
Me To!
+Ashlynn Norton me three but on 3ds
Different four swords
Dump it
CONGRATS ON 100K!
About time for a real video!
I feel so sad that you didn't get to play for your friends. This gave me such nostaliga for playing this game with all of my friends back in the day. Now we almost never play video games together and usually end up playing our own favorite genres or single player games. Maybe I can get everyone to bust out the gamecube for old times sake.
I LOVED this game and still have and play it to this day.
The description, I was about to think you made a reference to Game Theorists xD
I actually did play multiplayer on this game. It seems like so few people actually have. Probably because no one's willing to gather multiple gameboy/GameCube adapters or even multiple gameboys. But my brother in law is awesome and gathered four connectors and two gameboys. Then, with my two gameboys we were able to play with his wife and my younger sister and it's always so much fun.
Whenever you day, "so that's the beta of (game)" I get sad because there's no more to discuss about the game. I love your videos.
I loved this game when I was younger!! I would always play by my self because I was the only friend with a gab to GC connector
StephenPlays: Maybe we can have SOME cooperation...
Chuggaconroy: You’re on that on your own
I loved Four Swords Adventure growing up! It was basically my introduction to the zelda franchise in my early teens. Between me and my siblings (Who where all born relatively close in age) there were 4 of us, and when you have 4 sibs, it's not that hard to each save up some chore money to each buy a GBA-NGC Cable, and being kids we all basically had our own GBA's/SP's or various hand-me-down versions, so it wasn't as painful to play because we always had each other!
I legitimately feel bad when meeting another zelda fan and having the wonderful "Which is the best Zelda game?" talk and usually they either haven't played four swords or did, but didn't enjoy playing it alone. It's sometimes sad when you say "I can see why you didn't enjoy it, but I still think it's the best because4 of the experience with my sibs it gave me. I also enjoyed Final FAntasy Crystal Chronicals the same way.
My dad found this at a local Disk Replay branch when I finally got a GCN controller and memory card for my family's Wii. I had never heard of it before.
5:16 thanks for helping me understand the structure of the sentence example
I was really hoping for Nintendo to remake this game on the Wii U with the 3DS's being similar like the game boys and the gamepad to be used like a 3DS as well, or for single player.
And to add Navi's trackers as well. I would buy that game in a heartbeat.
I mean it'd be easy and beautiful to see this game a full HD.
I just realized that the unused French string about the allies turning into a sword could most likely reference how in Four Swords, the other 3 Links were made when Link pulled out the Four Sword (atleast, as far as I remember). So maybe it was planned for you to just be able to turn your allies back into the Four Sword?
I actually used to play the Tetra's tracker game with some friends back in the day. It was loads of chaotic fun ^^
"Your grave" could have been an early game over.
I liked that you used the dark world theme song from a link to the past
Great video man! If you ever need help researching a Beta in Zelda's Adventure let me know.
the shield item probably would've worked like how it did in the original Four Swords where you start every level with it and you can block almost anything when using it
There is something so surreal about these navi's trackers cutscenes, is like watching a sfm made by nintendo
I think you may have gotten the beta of the original Four Swords mixed up with the beta of adventures at some points, I remember seeing a GBA magazine long ago showing pictures of what looked like the original ALTTP but with four players for the article about Four Swords GBA, and that was before adventures was even being made.
Great video as always.
You offhandedly mention Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, but the truth is, there's a LOT of beta content around that game, I believe. Or at least its sequel. Might be worth checking out at some point.
I think Navi trackers would fit fine on Triforce heroes, if it wasn't for purple Link that was cuted out. Nice video by the way!
btw at 0:30 that is not how you pronounce especially
macratak Eh-spex-ally XD
132ikl I heard eXpecially. It's like how some people say eXpresso instead of eSpresso. :
Schwarzorn Spelt especially. Pronounced espe-shally
ShanonGallaFoe
Espe-shally?? Is that second E silent? And I can only assume you mean 'shally' to rhyme with 'Sally', tho I'm not understanding why you would pronounce it that way...
Schwarzorn es-pe-shally. That's how it's pronounced. I guess the second e is kinda silent. That's just how you pronounce it.
This game was really good. I just finished a Let’s Play on it, and it was my favorite run of the game!
Cool video :)
This was such an awesome game, my brother and I bought a GBA to GC cord just to play this game together, best summer ever. I Really stoked on Triforce Heroes! This made me think of the Mini game in Phantom Hourglass, that it was originally multiplayer... kinda
Well, the first time I saw the "T shield", I tough it was the fire shield from ALttP, but the shield is more a "V" than a "T". What I can say, it's I think it's a test shield, because you take any shield from TLoZ, it is more detailled and have, like shade etc. This one is only red and white, so I think it was not a permenant sword. Or, it can be an upgraded fire shield or even a new shield who was abaddoned until his creation, so the design is here, but is not detailled and used. Anyway, thanks for that video Beta64, I love Four Swords and I think I will love Triforce Heroes!
did anyone else have this game just show up on their DS's from time to time? because i remember that every couple weeks this game would just be there on my DS and would be gone a couple of days later, it worked and i could play it but i never understood why it was there cause i never put internet on my DS
The "T shield" looks like the second shield from ALttP if memory serves me correctly.
Hey nice video I always want it to know beta of this game. I enjoy watching your beta video, hope to see more video beta of zelda
11:33 those are no test maps and neither unused, they are alpha masks of highlighted areas in level selection screen.
What if you do the beta of zelda four swords anniversary edition? Or the regular four swords, their both the same thing.
I think the sprite with the red shield may have been for a shield upgrade that never made it into the game. Remember how the level 2 shield in ALttP was red, so I think the same thing is what we see here, albeit maybe with a misplaced pixel or two.
I also think that maybe the "turn ally back into a sword" is an unedited translation/bad translation of text that should say "return you ally to the sword". Since when you draw the four sword you split, I would think maybe the original intention would be for the sword to allow the use to split, rather than force the user to split.
loved the link to the past music.
Your videos are amazing.
Wasn't there a somewhat recent interview (around Skyward Sword's E3 presentation?) in which Navi Trackers was mentioned to have been removed because fans outside Japan didn't seem too excited for the game?
The E in 'hey' is pronounced the same as the E in 'let'; It's the EY digraph that makes that, well, "ey sound". Also, the E in 'new' isn't what makes that "oo sound"; It's the W (which is also "sometimes a vowel" - Y and W are both semi-vowels). The E is just silent in American English. However, the E is pronounced in other English dialects, and thus 'new' rhymes with 'ew', 'few', et certera.
Oh my god I remember hearing about Tetra's Trackers
I couldn't find anyone else who remembered it though, so I thought I imagined it for the longest time
Thank you for confirming that I'm not THAT crazy
14:56 sounds like a modern full priced game to me
See, what makes me question the speech synthesis cancellation theory for Tetra's Trackers is this: Why not just have her say "Player 1/2/3/4" and scrap the custom names altogether? Seems better than just totally forgetting about an entire side game.
There should be a Four Swords game for the Wii U that uses the same system that Kirby and the Amazing Mirror used, where you control one Link and the other 3 go out into the world and can even end up fighting or even beating bosses and you can use the Triforce or some other item to summon the other 3 Links to your location so they can help you.
What if the "Your Grave" text was originally going to be added as a reference to that Final Fantasy game where you can find Link's grave...
Maybe if they did include Navi's Trackers in the other versions, they could refer to the Links as Green, Blue, Red, and Purple (or Vio), similar to how they do in the Four Swords manga.
