If you have played A Link to The Past (Four Swords), well, your in for an even better surprise. The minish cap is a very challenging game with loads of puzzles. Similar in theory to a Link to the Past, where you go from light to dark worlds, in Minish cap you go from the "light" world to the minish world a world where you are shrunk down to pea size. Actually, you have full size game play, play in "pea" size minish mode, and third play full size while a minish in the minish world.
Coming straight from a Link to the Past, the first thing you will notice is that the bosses are much harder to defeat. Second, the dungeons have some very difficult puzzles to solve -- and really make the player think.
When I bought mine, I didn't get the play book, so I got off to a slow start -- then found a walkthrough online. I didn't use it for cheating, but rather, to get an overview about what type of items are in the game, the overall quest, and fusing.
Overally, I would say I've finally made it to the last dungeon, Dark Hyrule, after a good 40 hours+ of play time on and off over the last month. Beware though, I do recommend taking breaks at least every 30 minutes, otherwise, when you stop you will have double vision (really).
I really hope a sequel will come soon as I'm near the end.
In conclusion, if you love the Zelda series, you will love this game. And for the complexity and time it takes to beat, you really do get your money's worth.
Evil reveiw people... I don't want to title it. T_T

The Legend of Zelda; Minish Cap, was extreamly short. When I first got it, I spent a while playing around and collecting everything I could. I almost got to all twenty or however many hearts you could get, but, feh. After I beat it I got the mirror sheild, and I might play around getting the last couple of kinstone fusions to see what happens but anyway...
Overall, this game is extreamly fun, however very short. It's best for those that want to beat another Zelda game but don't want to have to commit to it too much. It's sweet and short, I guess you could say. Anyway... I'm busy... Sayonara.
Look forward to Twilight Princess... ^.^ ...
Zelda creates another exiteing adventure!

Zelda games are puzzlers. They are mental games and dont require good reflexes. This game can only be beaten by smart, quick witted people. This game is one where you make only one file. It is like a puzzle. Once you beat it and have all the answers, It is'nt as fun anymore. Only one run through is good. Dont worry, though. I still haven't beaten it and i've had it over a year. It is'nt a game to be beaten quickly.

The Minish Cap is the best Zelda game yet with Kinstone fusions and new items like the Gust Jar and the Mole Mitts. WHen the evil wizard Vaati turns Zelda to stone, Link goes on a quest to get the 4 elements and defeat Vaati. Along the way he meets Ezlo who helps him. This game is a must have IGN has rated it 9.6
The Minish Cap...a decent Zelda game, but could've been better

Hello, Silent Bob here, reviewing another game from the wonderful world of Nintendo. Today, it's The Minish Cap, the most recent game in the Legend of Zelda series (or is it Four Swords Adventures? I don't know). Now I love Zelda, and this game is no exception, but it is missing a few things that could've made this a five-star game. It's a good game the first time through, but then you'll want to put it away for a while and play it later. Still, I'm glad I own it, as I am with most of my video games.
Here's the story: An evil sorcerer by the name of Vaati (what a *cool* character!) has cursed Princess Zelda to stone, and you, once again as the little boy hero, must break the curse and put him down. A pretty simple story, and suitable for a Zelda GBA game. As you travel in your quest to revive the mystic Picori (Minish) Blade, you'll collect new and old items like the Gust Jar, which acts like a vacuum, and the Cane of Pacci, which flips things over. Cool items, they are, but I don't like them as much as the classic items, such as the bow and bombs. I was impressed with the graphics. Very much like A Link to the Past, but much better. Good job, Capcom! (That's right. Capcom. They helped in the production of this game.)
Gameplay is pretty straightforward. You play as Link, slashing up the bad guys and solving puzzles. And when I say puzzles, I mean daunting ones. The dungeons in this game really make you think, which is what I like best in a Zelda game. It's a good break from the action-packed-natured games like Metroid: Zero Mission, which I may review some other time. The bosses are tough the first time around, but if you can figure out their patterns, you might emerge victorious. Just the way I like it...bosses that aren't so tough that it's frustrating. The new thing here is that with a cool cap called the Minish Cap, you can shrink to the size of the Minish race, explore areas you couldn't when you were big, and even attack enemies from the inside!
Replayability? Well, that's where The Minish Cap falls a bit. After you beat it, you might want to put it away, as there's not much to do afterwards, unless you want to collect the figurines and Heart Pieces (most of which you'll probably pick up on your main quest). But it *is* a fun game, and I would reccommend it to Zelda veterans or Zelda newbies.
Overall, the Minish Cap is probably the weakest of the Zelda games, but it still stands as a good game to play. Or maybe it's just that I'm losing interest in video games myself...
