== Problems ==<br />
===Resizing the Window (DX9)===<br />
Switching between full-screen and windowed mode, or even just resizing the window in DirectX9 will make some textures, especially Link, invisible. This does not happen on OpenGL/DX11 plug-in.<br />
<br />
=== Z-Order Issues ===<br />
Some sprites, primarily trees, are not ordered appropriately and layer on top of the player sprites. Refer {{issue|3426}}<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Odd Glitches ===<br />
Odd rendering glitches sometimes occur, refer {{issue|3427}}.<br />

<br />
=== Moon Gate Crash ===<br />
The game crashes when entering a Moon Gate, or operates very slowly under some versions.<br />
<br />
=== Can't Hold Button ===<br />
In the game, there are events that require to hold a button such as pulling a switch. You may find that you cannot hold it for long because it is disrupted among frames. This problem can be avoided by disabling "idle skipping" in the configuration, however the game will be slower a bit.<br />

===Gameboy Player===<br />
Gameboy connection support can be supported via joybus emulation. You will need VBA-M (r947 or newer) and a dump of GBA BIOS ([http://www.pocketheaven.com/ph/wiki/GBA_BIOS see here] an excellent dump guide). To connect GBA:<br />
#Launch Dolphin (only {{revision|6059}} or newer will work with DSP HLE plug-in, otherwise you must use DSP LLE plug-in, but in older revisions it is very slow!)<br />
#Start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and choose multi player<br />
#In connection screen, go to Config => GameCube and change the ports to GBA<br />
#Launch VBA-M, go to Options => Emulator and uncheck "Pause When Inactive". Then, go to Options => Link => Joybus options, mark "Enable Joybus Connection" and use default settings (127.0.0.1)<br />
#When you enable joybus, Dolphin will freeze (don't panic, its ok!). Now load the GBA Bios in VBA-M, after the splash screen Dolphin will recognise the joybus link and game will detect it as a standard GBA.<br />
<br />
To connect other GBAs, just repeat last instruction. Remember to unblock Dolphin and VBA-M in your firewall (some firewalls may block joybus link), otherwise Dolphin will stuck in connection screen. If you are in doubt, refer to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpx_ZQp6Fxc this video] for more details.<br />
