The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)

Could this be the "definitive" Nintendo game...

Game of the Day

Name: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Released: 2005

Developer: Nintendo

Platform: Game Boy Advance

Each Legend of Zelda game aims to be different to its predecessor and today's game of the day The Minish Cap is no exception to this. You play as the protagonist Link who has to save Zelda, after she got turned into stone by a sorcerer, with the help of tiny creatures called the Picori (or as they prefer to be known - the Minish). Graphically, it does pretty good trying to capture the world of Hyrule and the music is good too but what differs The Minish Cap from other Zelda games (in particular A Link to the Past which also looks quite similar visually) is the ability to shrink Link down to meet the Minish and it looks amazing but it also gives an added depth to the puzzles required to progress and therefore it becomes more interesting gameplay. I also have to give this game credit for finally giving a reason as to why Link wears that pointless hat of his (it's a disguise of a talking legless... duck? I honestly don't know how to explain it. Just play the game to see what I mean) after 2 decades of Zelda games. It is for these reasons (especially the originality factor) that this game is worthy of being the definitive Nintendo game.
