I was thinking of picking up a used copy of Four Swords Adventures since it seems like it'd be a lot of fun for me and a friend to play through. However, in researching this game I realized that I'd need a GameCube to Game Boy Advance link cable. That's not too big of a deal, but my question is, for two players is the link cable required for both first and second player? Or can the first player use a GameCube controller while the second player controls via the GBA?

I was actually wondering this myself

one uses the gamecube controller im pretty sure
