Did the Gamecube's version of Legend of Zelda:Four Swords include the GBA link cable?

I read on some strategy guides that the game boy controller cable for Gamecube was included on copies of the four sword game. But I can't find that information anywhere else. None of the copies still sold on Amazon and overseas and the old ads I could find mention it.
Did it really? Or was it only sold as an accessory?
