So I'm thinking about buying this game, and this is my current setup:

2 Friends
2 GBA's with link cables.

Can I play this game with 3 players in total? Meaning I take control of the 1st player using the GC Controller and my two other friends will have the GBA's connected.

Is that possible? Or we _must_ use the GBA as the controller? Thanks!

I do believe that multiple players require AS MANY GBAs with link cables.

 

[Alcibiades]

most likely (I'm like 99% sure) you'll need 3 GBA's to play with 3 people...

Damn, can anyone else confirm this? This is going to be expensive ... argh.

I already own two Gba Sp's and have to buy two more today plus 1 extra link cable, and 4 extension cables. Nintendo sucks for doing this but this game is worth it and they know it. It is like a woman who knows she is fine, knows you want her and uses you to her advantage since she knows you will do anything to be with her.

do you need a GBA if you're gonig to play by yourself?

I've had the game for a few days, but my GBA is with my girlfriend.

It worked out pretty good for me. I own a GBA, SP and GBPlayer already (damnit nintendo), so all I ever need is one more gba, and thats pretty easy. It's also pretty nice to use the gbaplayer and a second tv as my gba.

Picked up 4 swords yesterday, pretty damn fun.. though its rather painful until people get past griefing each other.

But don't you need another GC to use the GBPlayer? I'm confused.

 

[akascream]

Yes, you need another GCN to do that.

 

[Mejilan]

Single player Hyrule Adventure can be played with a regular controller.

 

[AirBrian]

Single player = GCN controller or GBA
Multiplayer = GBA for each player (including player 1)

 

[Ecrofirt]

awesome. Thanks guys!

 

[jenov4]

Thanks for clearing it up. Perhaps I can find a cheap/used GBA somewhere. ;(

 

[Ecrofirt]

I'm sure the original models aren't that expensive.

That's what I plan on using when I play multiplayer. I never bought an SP.

Different game, same idea.

Get new friends. Worthwhile friends. The kind that own a GBA.

You mean four to ten year olds? lol

 

[Ristamar]

You mean four to ten year olds? lol

...Of course, because obviously no one over the age of 10 owns a GBA. And there's the added benefit of being able to easily beat them up if they kick your ass in Four Swords.

Used original GBAs go for as little as $25 on eBay and are like $34.99 I think at Gamestop.
