Category: The Minish Cap

From Korok Seeds to Gold Skulltulas, there are a variety of collectibles throughout the Zelda franchise that net the player a variety of goodies. Sometimes it’s more inventory space, sometimes it’s a bigger wallet, and sometimes it’s a Piece of Heart. Each system works to varying degrees of success and fan reception, but it’s hard to deny they each had their share of worth-while rewards. I’ve been replaying The Minish Cap recently, and it’s given me a lot to think…

After taking a break from the game last week, the Cast are back to finish off their discussion on The Minish Cap! This week, we dive into the numerous charming dungeons in the game, expand on our “less is more” mantra, talk about the bosses and items, and count just how many Darknuts you actually fight in Dark Hyrule Castle! We don’t see the dungeons eye to eye, so some negotiating might be in order! All this, PLUS we’re throwing…

One of the most exciting moments at the February 2023 Nintendo Direct was the announcement of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games for the Nintendo Switch’s online service. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are (or will be) available with the regular online subscription while the Game Boy Advance games are available with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. It is very exciting that a major portion of Nintendo Switch owners will have access…

With the recent addition of Game Boy Advance games to Nintendo Switch Online, there are a ton of people checking out arguably the most underrated Zelda game for either the first time or first time a long time: The Minish Cap! One of Andy’s favorite Zelda games, The Minish Cap was the one game Alasyn hadn’t played in forever, so after finishing, the gang get together to dive deep into the charming art style of the game, its great usage…

With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom taking place significantly on the same map as Breath of the Wild, things might get stale if the hide-and-find items continue to be Korok seeds. Theoretically, the Koroks could all find brand-new hiding spots and start their sick feces sharing game all over again, but with Zelda’s modus operandi lately being innovation there is a real chance those little stinkers will be swapped out for a new set of discoverables.  With…

So far this year, I have been on a mission to replay all the Zelda games to prepare myself for Tears of the Kingdom. As I just finished A Link to the Past after getting hooked on it for a few weeks, I’ve been thinking about what Zelda games are the most replayable. For me, I often find myself reaching most for Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Breath of the Wild, and Skyward Sword. Although I…

Wow. Wowowow. THAT, my friends, was a Nintendo Direct for the ages. Despite Nintendo arguably holding back yet again on Tears of the Kingdom, there was no doubt that the trailer we saw for the game was by far the meatiest one yet. Add in the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO news, with The Minish Cap and Link’s Awakening DX being playable RIGHT NOW with the Oracles not far behind it, and there was more Zelda news in…

Over last few years, Nintendo has hosted a Nintendo Direct each February to announce and go over the games that will be releasing in the first half of the year. 2023 is no different, and today’s Direct was packed full of content and games to come. So, what did you think of today’s Nintendo Direct? After a long wait and slow news cycle, we finally got some more content for Tears of the Kingdom! Honestly, this was the highlight of…

While there’s surely still some value to the Wii U, it seems that the dusty console is getting less and less relevant. Announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo Switch Online has expanded its reach to include Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games. Current Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers can now play Game Boy Advance titles, like Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, and, most importantly, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. More…

Dungeons and Zelda go hand in hand. They are like Link and Princess Zelda, Kafei and Anju, and Revali and his pride — one would not be complete without the other! Throughout the past 37 (whoa!) years of Zelda, we have seen a plethora of unique dungeons and temples in each entry in the series. These dungeons have always been a staple throughout each adventure in Hyrule, and they often pose challenges for our favorite green-clad hero, giving him the…
