The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
The GBA was only home to one truly original Zelda game (if you don’t count multiplayer-only Four Swords, that was released alongside an updated port of A Link to the Past), and that was the mighty Capcom-developed Minish Cap
Poor old The Minish Cap, destined to spend its existence ranked exactly in the middle of all Zelda games. This Honey I Shrank The Link is a superb game, and it’s great to see it getting a bunch of attention by being in this first batch of GBA titles.
There’s always such a pleasure in seeing a game you’ve only ever played before on a tiny, dim screen (perhaps lit by a ridiculous third-party clip-on light), suddenly huge and bright on the Switch’s display. And damn, this iteration is crisp and sharp, compared to the default squishy blurriness that appears by default on regular emulators. The wonderful top-down art almost looks 3D at the Switch’s resolution.
