"The Minish Cap"

So I've got a week off work. I could play Tales of Symphonia, I could attempt to finish Baten Kaitos, or I could even get back to finally starting Beyond Good & Evil.

But no, I've spent the last 4 days playing Zelda: The Minish Cap on my GameCube. I got bored of it a while ago and thought I might as well give it a go. It's not as bad as the Oracles games on Game Boy Color...

I've been hooked on it. My eyes are exploding from concentrating too hard at the screen. Many moments have I wasted time running around in circles trying to figure out what to do when the obvious is right infront of my face all the time. Then I get a little further and frustrate myself on the next puzzle.

It's no Link to the Past beater, however, it's come close for me...mainly because of the inclusion of Gannon's Theme from the original cartoon series and original NES game! I was so suprised to hear that music through my speakers that I felt a wave of nostalgia hit me.

I love The Minish Cap!

Don't you hate it when people say that. Half the time their talking out of their 'beehind' to.

Yeah, the hardest part is always starting off. Figuring out what you're initially going to say and go on with. Once the first bits done, I always found my fingers flowed with the wind and could type thousands of words of rubbish quite quickly.

Good luck with it all matey. If you get bored, confused, wanna b#t#h about it, then come online and I should be around to supply more ammusing political propaganda for light entertainment. Either that or I'll be asleep! I'm quite knackered today. But should be around later to talk to Lucy!! :D

:)

i finished 4 swords the other day aswell, was really good, i loved some of the dugeons, especially the last few. Not a fan of the 2d bits that our played on tv mind.
The story was actually very good, suprised they used such a good one in such a , well, multiplayer game.
I supose it was'nt really revieled as epic until the end.
Yeah great to see Ganon again as a big blue pig, he was giant this time which was nice.

I was speaking to someone in the library today, whose got 15,000 words done.

I'm maybe 4k at the moment. Didn't feel good about it!


But I can't seem to make much progress, it's a big impenetrable wall of junk that isn't quite related to what I'm looking for.

Never mind. I'll keep chipping away. Haven't even got started on surveying yet... :^(

Slacker, get back to work ya bumm!

:P

Speaking of which, I finished 4 Swords yesterday.

Pretty good stuff. By no means vintage zelda, the puzzles were on the easy side, but for the most part seemed a bit more logical than some of the other games. But it was a decent blast, and it got some use out of my cube for the first time in a while.

Still, all this batting balls of light around - I've never been fond of that. A bit of pong is all well and good, but the first time you encounter one of those sections, and you try all kind of rational attacks before randomly hiting the other guy's projectile with your sword...

Nice to see ganon return to form though - everyone likes beating up a big blue pig.
Nintendo? Kiddy? Never!
Now that really would have been grounds to criticise the wind waker

Zelda II?

(and not what SR used to advertise as Zelda 2 - Majoras Mask was not the second in the series)

Minish cap was pretty easy I love Minish cap its so fun!!!Its soooo awsome I love any Zelda games they all rock!

Minish Cap is the hardest Zelda game ever. It was fun though... running up to the final boss at midnight on new year's eve was dramatic...

Aye, it better be as good as Tales Of Symphonia's :)

Now that is a good game :D

how can you say the oracles games were bad, they were masterpieces, i spose it was a con having 1 'whole' gmae being split into 2 but still , i thought it was worth it

only gripe i have with the minish cap , its TOO SHORT, i want MORE
