Is the game free or did you have it on you nnid before

Let me just sum up why this happened:

Before 4swords got pulled, it was available as a free download, so the OP got it.
The problem was that the Eshop does not work on 11.1.0 due to it needed the latest version. So the OP couldn't download it.
He couldn't even get to the HBLauncher due to browserhax being patched.
Thankfully, soundhax was released, so he used ctr-httpwn to get on the eshop.
The thing is, that 4swords is just unlisted in the eshop. You can still download it if you already got it.
And that's what he did.
After that, he used slowhax to insert a hacked save into 4swords and then got his NFIRM downgraded to 10.4

And that, my folks, is the end of the story.

Wait,four swords was free download for some time? When?

It was during the Legend of Zelda's 20th anniversary. It was 4 free 4 four days only. The hax didn't come out until a year later.

this is what i did hurry now before it gets patched

installed sound hax and got into the homebrew launcher loaded ctr httpwn v1.0.1 then it reset into the homebrew menu then i loaded eshop for 10.4 and it loaded the eshop and i was able to redownload zelda from my list had to do a hard reset to get out reloaded the system and zelda four swords was installed

how did you load the eshop for 10.4

In that case a slight manipulation may make you able to load the unlisted 4 sword even if you have not downloaded it before.
Should work similar to the way we could load the old Ironfall version even if it was not actually accessible.
(I have not tested it and it may not work. It's just an idea)

Nope, you can't. It will only work to those who downloaded this game before it gets taken down.

 

[punderino]

Nope, you can't.

As far as I know, as long as you didnt reformat your 3DS, you can still redownload it by going to Eshop>Settings>Redownload. If you're on firmware 11.0, then best use Soundhax to go to HBL, run CTR-HTTPAwn, then run the old eshop launcher(10.4) and check if it's still available for redownload.

What is the old eshop launcher, I did put fieldrunners on my watch list if that makes a difference

did you run CTR_HTTPawn first before launching the old eshop?

you can find it in the Homebrew Launcher, it's one of the preset apps if you downloaded the starter kit from Smea's site. You're still on 11.0.0-33 right?
