Community member Rammstein brought to my attention recently that the anniversary edition of Four Swords on the DSi's DSiWare and 3DS' eShop will be disappearing soon -- on February 20, 2012 to be exact. I had completely forgotten about the expiration date, as I downloaded it immediately when it was available and kind of blocked the expiration out of my mind.
Four Swords was an add-on (free on-cart DLC!) to the Game Boy Advance port of Link to the Past. It was extremely fun to play, but very hard to gather a group for, considering that it required more than one player. Thankfully, the new anniversary edition not only brings it to two modern platforms, but it also adds a much needed single player option. In case you couldn't tell, I really love this game, so be sure and pick it up now!

Back in the "vault" it goes! :D
Unfortunately, this re-release doesn't heal the wounds of never being able to access the new, hidden dungeon in A Link to the Past!
From what I remember/understand, it was because it was a Zelda Anniversary gift.
No more Zelda Anniversary year (God I wish it wasn't over), no more gift.
It's kind of dumb, sure, but.. Nintendo has a tendency to pet the rabbits too hard sometimes.
Well, that is until they decide to sell us A Link To The Past again, most likely with this added in for good measure -then we'll end up having it twice.
And, yes, I really do think they'll do this at some point, they just need to quit messing around and release GBA games on the eShop.
I recall that reading that as well.
