It’s unlikely that anyone reading this needs any introduction to the series of Legend Of Zelda series of games. It’s one of video gaming’s most classic franchises, with a history that spans the length of modern console gaming, including GameSpot’s 2003 Game of the Year, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is the latest entry into the series, and is available exclusively on the Game Boy Advance. Developed by Capcom’s devilishly talented Flagship team (also responsible for the Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and Four Swords Zelda adventures on the Game Boy), it pits a young boy against a powerful magician who’s bent on ruling all of Hyrule. Your quest? Well, rescue the princess, of course! The primary game conceit here is the concept of miniaturization; much of your time in the game world will be spent shrunk down to a tiny size, which will enable you to explore the hidden paths and areas that would normally be inaccessible - and unnoticeable - while you run around at human-size. In addition, a bevy of new items and maneuvers are available to you.

GameSpot’s game guide for the Minish Cap includes a full walk-through, of course, as well as tips on obtaining the hidden item upgrades and heart pieces scattered around the game world.
