Game Review - Minish Cap
Jun. 15th, 2005 10:50 pmTitle: The Legend of Zelda : The Minish Cap
Platform: GBA
Genre: Action/Adventure
Complete: Yes
Price Paid: $0.00 (Borrowed)
Would Pay: $29.99
Yup, it's a Zelda alright. You can see the influences of Wind Waker in the graphics, although the story line does not seem related to it. It's an overhead view instead of the 3D that Wind Waker is, but despite those differences, the same feel is there as well. Lots of wandering, finding little side quests, and plenty of puzzle solving in the dungeons. For the first time I've seen in Zelda, there's a new ability - jumping. It's not perfect, since you can't jump over little rows of rocks, but you can somersault over enemies, simplifying some of the battles.
So far, I think I've had better luck with value on the GBA games (this, Golden Sun : Lost Age, not yet reviewed) than anything on the full sized consoles. At least here I'm finding things that I feel are worth the prevalent list price of the platform. Still looking on the others.
This and Wind Waker have gotten me psyched up for Twilight Princess on the Game Cube, and I just restarted Ocarina of Time, the prequel to Twilight Princess in order to be ready for it.
