Hey People i want to get Zelda The minish cap but i dont know if its worth it i need ur opinion plz

I beat it in one day.

I beat it in one day.
That's the case with the majority of Zelda games, unfortunately :(

I actually thought The Minish Cap was a great game, and it certainly exceeded my expectations for a GBA title.

I wouldn't say that.
At least, not for me.
I can't think of another Zelda game that's that short, and I've played through pretty much all of them recently.

I thought it was pretty good, but I liked all the GBA Zelda games more. If your looking for a good game though to just kill a little time with, this game is fine.

I liked minish cap but the older style was better.

It was uber easy, not even worth the 20-30 bucks.

i didn't get past the mountain after the 1st dungeon. But it's a good game and i really like the music. Very good music for a GBA game.

But i still prefer Link's awakening.

Agreeing with most the other people. It's not the best Zelda game, but if you're a fan, it's great fun.

Get a copy of majora's mask instead; one of the greatest underrated games.

i wouldnt know.

my question is where does it and the other 2 GB games tie into the story type thing of:

The Legend of ZeldaI
The Legend of ZeldaII
The Legend of Zelda: a link to the past
The Legend of Zelda: the orcarina of time
The Legend of Zelda: majoras mask
The Legend of Zelda: twilight princess
The Legend of Zelda: the wind waker
The Legend of Zelda: phantom hourgalss

It's best not to think about trying to fit all the Zelda's together.

I made a post about it a while ago but it was long, crazy, and hard to follow. :P

Indeed. I watched this video on youtube I think it was, trying to put the Zelda series into some sort of chronological order. And they discussed the split timeline theory, which made sense a little.

Minish Cap is great fun for long journeys I found, its just the right length.

I know my response is WELL overdue, but I'll give you my opinion anyway. Before Minish Cap and Twilight Princess came around, my favorite Zelda was Link to the Past. Granted, I'm not the BIGGEST Zelda fan EVER, but I enjoyed my share of Zelda games.

When Minish Cap came around, I decided to take a chance on it. I'd have to say that the only thing I didn't like with the game was that it wasn't a DS game. Not for stylus usage, but it just sucks when you have about 5 or so pixels chopped off around the corners of the screen cutting more of the pretty graphics of Minish Cap. Plus, a secondary status screen on the DS would have been nice, but not necessary.

The gameplay reminded me a lot of Link to the Past. In fact, after I beat Minish Cap, I went back to LTTP and couldn't really play it. Some of the new attacks and abilities you get in MC surpassed the abilities you could do in LTTP.

Anyway, I really enjoyed MC and recommend it. I don't know how long Wattson played the game, but beating it in a day sounds like something a little kid would say just to say he could do it and brag to his friends about it (completely no offense, but it's true). You can easily pace yourself in this game and beat it in a week or two... If you have other games to play or things to do around the house, beating MC in a day is not an easy thing to do. Yes, I guess it's 'short', but it is, to me, a worthy purchase. While I don't have the desire to re-play the game now, I probably will in a few years from now. But if you're really worried, buy it used for super cheap or rent it first.

Oh, and the Hyrule Castle music in the game is awesome, not to mention the Cloud Tops area of the game. If only the Hyrule Castle theme music was better quality...that's the way the castle music should sound. Powerful, forceful, and almost condescendingly towering. I was quite disappointed in the castle music for twilight princess. I didn't feel any sense of weight or immenseness to the castle when hearing the music in that game.

No, I don't give two shits what other people think of it, and I dont' consider in an accomplishment at all. The game is short and easy and that is a valid fault with it. Similarly, I think New Super Mario Bros for the DS is a complete waste of money because it's so easy and short and there's like no immediate replayability.

Even beating a game within a week is dissapointing to me. I beat Twilight Princess in a week and ended up thinking less of the game than I probably would have if I had paced myself better with it.

Honestly, I thought Twilight Princess was a bit too long. I think it took me something like 40 hours to beat it my first time around (I did spend some time doing side missions etc, which slowed me down a bit). But I guess these days with a job and other games to play on top of balancing a bit of a social life, I just don't have that much time to blow on games.

I know people want to get their money's worth with games, but I almost think that bigger isn't always necessarily better when it comes to games. GTA San Andreas was a good example of that. After playing through GTA III and Vice City, I was getting tired of the same play mechanic and essentially having to start over again from scratch. Only this time, the world was supposedly 3x bigger than GTA III (or something along those lines). I gave up on it almost immediately. If I were back in jr. high school or high school, I'd be eating games like those up like crazy. Especially in the summer time when school was out. Those were the days...

Again, Wattson, no offense with my comment about the bragging thing. I've just heard stuff like that on forums way too often and it kind of pisses me off. Mainly because I believe forums are a huge 'mine is bigger than yours' competition most of the time. Plus the comment, to me, doesn't give people an honest enough opinion about the game they're asking about. I do really think that beating Minish Cap in one day isn't really an easy thing to do unless it's ALL you do in one day, non-stop. To me, I just don't have the attention span to do it in a single day. That's madness! So I thought I'd add my own opinion of the game as well.

My copy of Minish Cap is used, yet in excellent condition. ~$15, if I'm not mistaken. It's nothing special, but I'm a fan and I enjoyed it. Gameplay is fun and dealing with kinstones is something new and refreshing. You'll notice various similarities to Link's Awakening and the Oracle games; not to mention how fun it is to shrink down to the size of a cricket and explore the world of the Minish.

I too am disappointed by games I finish too early, and Twilight Princess took me 50+. I take my time and don't even play every day so it was over fifty hours of playing during the span of a few months.
As has been already commented, they should've put more mini-games and sidequests.


I also strongly recommend Majora's Mask; definitely one of the best Zelda games even though Princess Zelda herself isn't too involved. (Which sort of contradicts the title of the game.)

that blew everything i thought completely out of the water.and since twlight princess just kinda ends with no real explanation it makes a whole lot of since.

The minish cap in a very interesting game.
It's a new speacial style and I can recommend you!

Way to revive a year old thread to make a pointless post. If you wanted to prove you're an idiot, you've succeeded with flying colors.

It was extremely easy and short but still good fun. The kinstones added quite a bit of length, as did the figurine quest.

Yes, sometimes it was very easy.
But try to play it with an emulator on pc, it is an bit harder

i wouldnt know.

my question is where does it and the other 2 GB games tie into the story type thing of:

The Legend of ZeldaI
The Legend of ZeldaII
The Legend of Zelda: a link to the past
The Legend of Zelda: the orcarina of time
The Legend of Zelda: majoras mask
The Legend of Zelda: twilight princess
The Legend of Zelda: the wind waker
The Legend of Zelda: phantom hourgalss

If you want to look at it as one big time line, than the it would go like this:

Minish Cap
Orcarina of Time

Now the rest of the story depens on weather you think the time line of being leiner of split. if you a split then
Minish Cap
Orcarina of Time
/ \
Wind Waker Majoras Mask
Phantom Hourglass
Link to The past
Zelda 1
Adventures of Link
It is all very confusing and is best to think of them as sepret games and enjoy playing them
