Pros & Cons

  • new zelda adventure, boss battles, plenty of innovation, excellent graphics, great graphics and sound
  • considered a short game, very short, short game, poor story, may be too easy

Although the Minish people are vertically challenged, their place in this world is relevant to Link. He’ll need their help in his quest for Kinstones in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Link looks as good as ever. He slashes the bad guys and solves dungeon puzzles as he does in his previous games. This time, he shrinks it down a notch to hang out with the Minish people. Their village is literally tiny, but the secrets it holds are big ones.

    For all of the items in Minish Cap's "Pro" column, there is but one item in the "Con" column: it's just too darn easy. The dungeons, though fantastically designed, are fairly small and light on monsters. Although one or two bosses prove tricky, it's entirely possible for players to finish the game without dying once, especially if they've taken the time to fuse kinstones and track down all of the heart containers and fairy fountains. In the overworld, the few enemies... Read more

    The Minish Cap is a great new addition to the already excellent Zelda brand. It could be seen as a bit on the short side, with its easy dungeons and small overworld, but the time spent playing will most certainly be fun. This comes highly recommended. Read more

    If you’re a Zelda fan check this game out. If your not a Zelda fan, check this game out. Nintendo and Capcom have created another great Zelda game, this time in portable form. This game was a return to the series roots and brings back many memories, especially of my favorite Zelda game, A Link to The Past. Nintendo fans are in a great position. The games also a great warm up for the new 3-d Zelda adventure coming to GameCube later this year. Read more

    Zelda games usually enjoy a lot of hype, and justifiably so, as Nintendo’s Zelda franchise has produced some of gaming’s finest adventures, captivating players with its pure gameplay and complex, yet easy-to-follow storylines. Aside from Link’s sword-slinging heroics, Zelda games have also focused on certain themes: past versus present, light versus dark, and now, the franchise’s developers have come up with something no one expected: big versus small.

    At first glance, judging by the title and the artwork on the box, one might be led to believe that Minish Cap is quick, childish addition to the Zelda series, at most just an effort to sell some Game Boys. But don't be fooled. This game is is not only beautiful but incredible fun and challenging as well. In fact, this is one of the better Zelda experiences. Read more
