Zelda Informer's "Themes in Motion" series moves to cover the last of the currently-released Zelda games with a take on the strong "community" themes found in the Four Swords titles and The Minish Cap.

Typically Link's adventures set him on a one-man quest to save the world from sin and darkness. One boy of humble origins receives a sacred sword and a commission from the gods of his generation to strike down evil forces. The Four Swords games give this idea a sort of twist; in order to achieve victory, the hero needs to use the power of teamwork by splitting himself into four individuals with the enchanted Four Sword. In this way the sub-series sets up a central theme of cooperation and the role and strength of community in maintaining peace in the world.
