'''Navi' | '''''Navi Trackers''''' is a puzzle-based treasure hunting game that was included in the Japanese and Korean versions of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. The game was formerly planned as a stand-alone title named '''''Tetra's Trackers''''', but it was turned into an optional mode of ''Four Swords Adventures'' somewhere along the line in development. Players use [[Game Boy Advance]]s as game screens and controllers via a link cable, while the television screen shows navigators narrating the action and a basic map. | ||
In this game, [[Tetra]] or other navigators | In this game, [[Tetra]] or other navigators serve as guides to [[Link]] as he searches the land for members of Tetra's pirate gang in a specific order to gain stamps from them. Link must collect as many stamps as possible within a given time limit. In the multi-player game, players must competed with each other to gain higher scores. In a single-player game, the player has the choice of playing against [[Tingle]] (Tingle Battle), or collecting the stamps alone within a given time limit (Time Attack). | ||
==Development== | |||
''Navi Trackers'' began as a remake of the [[Satellaview]] game ''Marvelous: Mou Hitotsu no Takarajima'' ("Marvelous: Another Treasure Island"), an early game [[Eiji Aonuma]] worked on, and [https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Four_Swords_Adventures#Marvelous_Leftovers some images of these characters remain, unused, on the final disc]. The soundlink narration, similar to that used on ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets|Ancient Stone Tablets]]'', became Tetra's narration and the characters were replaced with the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' [[Tetra's Pirate Crew|pirates]].{{Ref|It all started with an 8 year old game called Marvelous, which made use of the Satellaview satellite transmission system. In that game, players would collect stamps while listening to a radio broadcast. We replaced [the satellite transmission system] with the connectivity function, used Tetra's character as the vocal guide, and incorporated the pirates. Actually, all three of us [producer Eiji Aonuma, director Toshiaki Suzuki, and director Yoshinori Tsuchiyama] worked on the satellite broadcast project. You could say we didn't imagine we'd reunite like this.

When first announced at E3 2003 as ''The Legend of Zelda: Tetra's Trackers'' , it was originally planned to be a stand-alone game release. However, Nintendo canceled the project as a standalone game without any official announcements. Later, the game was included in the Japanese and Korean version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' as the multiplayer mode ''Navi Trackers''. | |||
Likely because of the difficulties in rerecording voice acting in other languages, the mode was not included in all releases of ''Four Swords Adventures'' outside of Asia.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150801105516/http://www.zeldacapital.com/Games/tetra.php Zelda Capital]}} | |||
== | ==Story== | ||
The story takes place right after ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', where Link has to prove himself worthy of being a pirate in Tetra's "Pirate Test". Three other pirates are disguised as Link and battling with him in a little contest. Link must pass all 12 of Tetra's test to become a pirate. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* The word | *The word Navi in ''[[Navi Trackers]]'' is probably taken from the word [[Wikipedia: Navigator|Navigator]]. | ||
* Tetra and her pirate crew have full voice | *In ''[[Navi Trackers]]'', [[Tetra]] and her pirate crew have full voice acting instead of the usual text-only dialogue. The game also has a primitive text-to-speech engine, possibly relying on prerecorded snippets of audio - the navigators (Tetra, [[Sue-Belle]], and the [[King of Red Lions]]) can pronounce the two-character name the player selects at the start of the game. | ||
*''[[Navi Trackers]]'' features the only other home console of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'''s cel-shading style as well as the only 3D representations of the four colors of Links within [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. | |||
