"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."

Sounds gay.
Yes, gay.
I'd like to just adventure like I was a pirate and cut things up.
No gay headgear required.
But they have swords and guns.
But they also have parrots - brightly coloured ones.
Although, they get to go 'aarrr!' and drink rum.
However, they also go 'shiver me timbers' (which is obviously gay pirate speak)
But then again, they steal treasure.
Hmmm ....
How Nintendo missed a chance like that I have no idea.
Plus I would have thought that all zelda fans would have already heard what the Minish cap was way back at E3 '04? If not it's a testimony to your Zelda fanhood and you should be a little ashamed.

They're not saying the game is crap with the inclusion of a gay hat...
They're just saying the hat is gay.
Big deal.
And no, most of us thought the cel-shaded Zelda, upon viewing the video, was cool.
Where were you?
Also I thought that they were imply that the game was going to be crap because it featured a gay hat, which is silly.
