I've bought Four Swords Adventures!!!!! ....Well, I don't have a GBA. I'll have to borrow one. (But it also means that I can lend out my GC to let them (My cousins) play Pokemon Box, or borrow their GBAs for me to transfer data from Mario Tennis GBA. (Or Nintendo Puzzle Collection)
I find this a hard game to play. Each dunegon (Uh, not all stages are dunegons) took me at least 30 minutes to play. But it's a fun thing to look for ways to find out the solutions for each puzzles. (And it's even better than StarFox Adventures!!! The same genre of playing, but it's a 2D vs 3D! I'll go with 2D)
The con thing is that it's actually forcing you to buy multiple GC-GBA cables, for which I prefer to have the screen split into 4 instead. Also, GBA, without backlight, does not provide a clear vision. (My cousins do not keep their GBAs clean, duh)
But there's more pros to it. SFC-style graphics plus 3D-ish effects is very good - maybe close to perfect. Oh, Nintendo should provide more straightly 2D games like this!
Aside from the main game, there's also a party game like mode. I've played it once, but then the GBA suddenlt got it disconnected (The cable wasn't wired tightly) so that I cannot finish the game.
There's also another mode to play (Maybe to have Links compete with the others?) but I only have one GC-GBA cable, so I can't play it.

I bought a GBA-GC cable for Animal Crossing, and I also got one free with Four Swords Adventures... and because my girlfriend also has a GBA we played the whole game together.
And it is one of the best multiplayer experiences there is. We did cooperate in the hard puzzles, we did fight over treasure... and which Links we had in our party, and we also panicked when my g/f's original GBA batteries started running low.
Brilliant stuff. Much better than FF: Crystal Chronicles.

I'd buy this game... If I knew some other people with a GBA and GBA-GC link cable.
Come on, I'm not gonna buy more of those just for that game!

I skipped buying this game because of the multiplayer emphasis. I wasn't sure if the single player experience was worth the price. I rented FF: Crystal Chronicles, and it was really dull as a single player game.
I am a sucker for Zelda, though. Is FSA worthy as a single player game?

Indeed, it's technically the same game, but some of the puzzles change so they're possible with just one player. Of course, you lose out on the whole competitive aspect, which is part of the fun... As a single-player game think of it as quite an easy Zelda. Some tough puzzles, but over pretty soon. But it's absolute Zelda quality throughout - and if you love other Zelda games you'll be hard pressed not to fall in love with this one too  |

I got stuck (As early as stage 2-2)!!!!!!! Maybe Zelda games is too hard for me.
But it seems that GC-GBA cables are quite expensive... Maybe I'll get Nintendo Puzzle Collection for another cable....?

No one force you to buy the systems and peripherials... just buy the game and play with the disc / cart!

I got a generic link made by Madcatz, which I bought only for the purpose of all the stuff to do in Animal Crossing.
I might get FSA eventually, if I find it cheap enough.

(I'm too lazy to convert it to dollars ) According to xe.com, 14 pounds is $24,82  And that's about €20... But, that the same price I paid for a brand new link cable! |

But... why would you get a second hand cable for 14 pounds when you can get a brand new one for only 9 pounds? ...or did I just misread those posts? |

A game + cable, being sold at 14 pounds, is good. |
