Shadow Battle is a mini-game from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. Playable during the multiplayer mode of Four Swords Adventure, Shadow Battle is a duel between two to four players; each participant is a different colored Link. The object of the battle is to be the last Link standing. If time expires before there is a winner, however, the game ends in a tie between the remaining Links. At the start, there are five stages that can be chosen to host the Shadow Battle; The Field, Tower of Flames, Tower of Winds, Hyrule Castle and Above the Clouds. Once the story mode has been completed, a Dark World version of each of these stages are unlocked.
