So I finally started it.

It’s a fine game.

I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I’m old. I’m patient.

Please, please don’t mention spoilers if possible. I love to crack nuts the old fashioned way. 🙂

    Minish Cap was my first Zelda. I remember using my allowance to buy the strategy guide back in the day so I could 100% it. Lots of nostalgia there.

        I’ve 100% Minish Cap twice. It’s just takes a bit of patience to get all the figures.

        I was a child with extensive free time and limited game options. I spent hours mowing grass to grind shells for the machine.

        That wasn’t even the worst part. Combing through every NPC looking for the last few kinstone fusions if you missed one was way more annoying.

    TMC and four seasons are some of my favorites from back in the day. You’re in for a treat :)

    I just started playing that last year after meaning to for many years (doesn’t help that I only got into 2D Zelda like 5 years ago). It’s super fun. I still haven’t finished it, though. Got stuck at one part or another and haven’t gotten back to it yet.

    It’s one of the best Zelda games period and certainly the best made for a handheld console — and that includes the Switch ones. Enjoy!

    I just beat it for the first time myself last year. I loved it, beginning to end. I don’t know why I waited so long to play it honestly. I grew up with the Oracle games, which were also Capcom, so I should have known it would be great. Enjoy!

    I think it’s interesting that Capcom developed that one for Nintendo. They certainly did a great job!

    I like, but don’t love, Link’s Awakening. I get that they had the limitations of the Game Boy to work around, so the idea that the map is confounding to navigate - just like a dream can be - was a creative choice that fit well. It just doesn’t resonate with me.

    The GBA was definitely a better platform for a Zelda game than the OG Game Boy.

    I never finished this one because someone broke into my house and stole my GBA SP with this cart in it (and some other stuff). Same reason I didn’t even play Oracles (or maybe Seasons?). I finished one, and started Minish cap before the other.

    :(

      I loved it and didn’t finish it either, only I don’t even have an excuse. Maybe I just got stuck.

    This is April’s game of the month for a Discord server I’m on, so a few of us have been tinkering with it recently. I was surprised at how good analog control felt with it.

    So cool to see a bunch of praise for this game here! It’s one of my favorite Zeldas and it’s always seemed like it never got a lot of talk.

    Is the BOTW emulation experience at a point where I can get 30-40fops consistently on a 2015 Hawaii series AMD card?
