ZELDA MINISH CAP
GAME REVIEW | I haven't played a Zelda game since N64's "Ocarina of Time", the one that's pretty much considered the best video game of all time by everyone. I was an addict. I'd play late at night and get up in the morning for more.
That was before I had a job.
So when the GBA Zelda game, "The Minish Cap" came out, I figured I'd give it a try, but I was a little nervous. I didn't think it would have the great story of "Ocarina" or the incredible sound. While I liked the original 2D Zelda, I wasn't sure how much I would like it now; I didn't want to ruin my great Zelda experiences with a bad one. But with one swing of Link's sword, and upon hearing his trademark yell, I knew "Minish Cap" was going to be a good one.
I was delighted to see all the same characters from older games (plus some new ones), along with a soundtrack that took all the old familiar songs and remixed them in a catchy way. Unlocking a door towards the end of the game gave me access to a record player in a house where you could play all the songs from the soundtrack (some of them are on the library iPod now). The story, like the soundtrack, was familiar but fresh enough to make it a great game. Click HERE for more info.
