Zelda no Densetsu: Yottsu no Tsurugi+

On a stormy night, Princess Zelda and the shrine maidens are gripped by fear. They believe these troubling events signal that Vaati's seal is weakening. To address this crisis, Zelda summons Link to the castle. His mission is to protect her and the other maidens as they attempt to open the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary. However, when the portal opens, a shadowy figure emerges. This figure is revealed to be Shadow Link, who swiftly kidnaps the shrine maidens and seals them in crystals. Determined to rescue them, Link follows Shadow Link into the sanctuary, where he retrieves the Four Sword. This magical sword has the unique ability to split its wielder into four clones of himself. Unfortunately, the retrieval of the Four Sword leads to the release of Vaati, who once again brings chaos to the kingdom.
