STORY
A long, long time ago...When the world was on the verge of being swallowed by shadow...The tiny Picori appeared from the sky, bringing the hero of men a sword and a golden light.With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness.When peace had been restored, the people enshrined that blade with care.MAIN STORYThe story begins when zelda comes to your house and takes you to the picori festival that.Also you have to deliver a sword that your unlce has made for the winner of the picori competition.Winner of the competition is a man named Vaati who has a evil looking face. When they bring the chest towards vaati which contains the legendary picori sword, vaati starts to attack all the guards and petrifies zelda and goes away. Link then must go on a quest to search the picori and defeat vaati.

GAMEPLAY

First of all, the graphics where very good. Everything was very detailed in the game. The animationswere also very good. The music was a bit rushed when made. They where all remixes of other zelda games such as Link to the past, ocarina of time,etc. The sound was very good. The game was a bit short in my opinion, but I liked it anyway. They could have put more things in the game, for example: making the overworld map bigger. There were also some new items like the gust jar for exmaple. It's a item that sucks everything and shoots away a big absorbed windball. Well due the reason that Minish cap was a short game, the usage of the items was also very short. Because after finishing the first dungeon, the gust jar doesn't become usefull anymore, only in a few area. Many items were just made for the fun and you only use it once, that was a bit disappointed I must say. Also the number of dungeons was not that much. Dungeon were to short and to easy. The only thing that got you busy in the game are the kinstone fusion and collecting the mystery shells. Kinstones are some kind of magicalstones that are spreaded over the fields of hyrule(fields is a big word just replace it to sandbox lol). And these stones are made by the picori and hidden under the grass or earth or hidden in chests. They say that kinstones bring good fortune when fused. And when you fuse two kinstones that fit in each other then a chest for example appears somewhere. Exciting and cool in the beginning, but boring in the end(nuff said).Enemies where cool in the game and there were some new cool sword techniques that you could learn in the game. Besides minish cap, you could also link up with another GBA to play the mini multiplayergamer called four swords. When you finished that together with your partner, then you can learn the hurrican blade in the link to the past(GBA version). Well I liked the cool features, but I rather had the game made better.
CONCLUSION
The game was fun in the beginning, but in my opinion the game was a bit to short, unfortunately.For the people that don't own this game and are waiting for twilight princess to come out, then buy this to keep you a bit busy.

Yeah, that game isn't what I would call mind blowing, but it is nice and short to play while waiting for whatever you are waiting for.....

If you have a GBA emulator, play Minish Cap on that, IT'S FREE!
