""Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap" latest news and release dates"

This was taken from http://www.zeldalegends.net, full story at Club Skill (too big to put in link):

"As previously reported, the newest Zelda game for the GBA, The Minish Cap, will be released in the US on January 10th, 2005. But aside from that, TMC is also making history with it's release! For the first time ever, a Zelda game will be released in Europe before any other country (save Japan, maybe)! So now European gamers can pick up their copy of The Minish Cap on November 12th, 2004!

On top of that, Nintendo has released it's official synopsis of The Minish Cap's plot. Here it is:

"Link returns to the Game Boy Advance when The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap launches across Europe on 12th November 2004. Join Link in this brand new adventure as he sets out to reforge a legendary sword and bring peace back to the land of Hyrule.

Released from the broken power of an ancient mystical sword, Vaati the wind mage is wreaking havoc on the Land of Hyrule. The only way to free the people from Vaati's evil clutches is to restore the sword and seal the evil mage's power once more. However, the knowledge to restore the sword is only kept by the tiny Minish people who live in a land unseeable by adult eyes. Enter Link, a young boy who takes on the epic journey that will turn him into a hero of legend...

On his adventure Link comes across an extraordinary hat called the "Minish Cap". The Minish Cap has amazing powers: it can shrink Link down to minute size and even speak, offering Link invaluable advice. Using the powers of the ever-helpful and friendly Minish Cap, Link can explore two very different worlds: his own native land, and the tiny land of the Minish people. By changing his size between big and small, Link can solve brain-teasing puzzles and negotiate previously inaccessible areas."

Thanks to Club Skill for first reporting this info! You can find the entire summary of TMC's story and gameplay there."

Well technically they let them do five... after all they were supposed to do 3 oracle games.

yeah, plus from what i've seen in the video there is a four swords type puzzle that requires you to step on a pad and you get multiplied into 4 links to move a huge block out of the way.

The graphics were beautiful and there were some of the dust effects from Wind Waker in there.

yeah its also said that in the article in the first post of the thread, but certainly is surprising, but i suppose capcom loves us really, plus they seem to be doing something right if nintendo has let them produce 4 zelda games so far for GB/A.

I just read now in NOM that it is the first game in the series to be released in the UK (or Europe) before Japan.

Well this is basically the first official Zelda GBA game coz Four swords was an add-on to the snes port of A link to the past, and so not original or separate game. So it should do well anyway because everyone who likes zelda's always buy them because of reputation.

well they did have the charge thing in links awaking which acted as a roll by hitting things hard and you got to move alot faster than in the 3D ones.

so it isnt as good... but its still useful

Hmm well I suppose the roll thingy is original for the 2D outings of zelda as they haven't had a roll function yet, but if it's useful then it must be a good thing, and I hope they try to use it in a more useful way than to avoid hurtig yourself when falling from heights like in the 3D games.

At that GameStars Live thingy.

Where did you get to play a demo gerrid?
