Zelda: Four Swords Out 9/28, Includes Single Player!

Lots of news dropped at yesterday’s Nintendo event, 99.9% of it for the 3DS. But for those paying close attention, one wonderful bit of news appeared for Zelda fans with DSi’s!

Here’s the official news:

In honor of the 25th anniversary, Nintendo is offering a free classic game for a limited time. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition will be available to download between Sept. 28, 2011, and Feb. 20, 2012. Fans can download the Nintendo DSiWare™ version of the game using their Nintendo DSi™ or Nintendo DSi XL™ systems, or by accessing the Nintendo eShop with a Nintendo 3DS system (wireless broadband Internet access is required for download). The game allows up to four players who have downloaded the game to play cooperatively and has also been enhanced with a new single-player mode. Unlike the original, all multiplayer game play is handled wirelessly. Once players finish the main quest, they will unlock new stages and abilities to expand the game’s replay value.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Nintendo’s dedicated Legend of Zelda website there’s a lot there, and worth the visit.
