It was free when the 3DS had the sudden price drop near its release, but only for a limited time. I, being a person who got a 3DS XL around the holidays, am more than happy to have it available again.

it was when the eshop first launched for the 3ds, but they never sold it once the promo was over, which was lame, as I wanted to play it with my Wife once she got her 3ds, but you could not get it. I am now downloading it on her XL, can finally play this together.

Alright! Thanks EllertMichael! I only visit the eshop every couple of weeks, so I probably would have totally missed this if you hadn't posted about it.

Awesome! Just DLed.

So.... this has always confused me. The GameCube Four Swords Adventures is an entirely different game, right?

Edit: Read up & yeah they're different games :)

I thought this was LttP: Four Swords Edition. I was immediately thrown off when I saw the opening cutscene. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed. But still, it's pretty awesome of Nintendo to give us a free game.

It looks like it the GBA game with some additions & single player.
