The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap shrinks onto GBA

Nintendophiles jonesing for a new title featuring the company's trademark hero Link will be happy to know that The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has shipped to stores. The Game Boy Advance adventure was developed by Flagship and features an original storyline and new characters and areas.

As an elf, Link has always been a bit short of stature, but The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap takes his diminutive size a step further by spinning the tale of how he acquired his trademark magical green hat. The fully cognizant cap has the ability to shrink Link down to the size of the Minish, an altruistic miniature race trying to make the world a better place.

Shrunken down, Link will battle a host of new enemies usually unseen by the naked eye. To progress through levels and to solve puzzles, he will need to use his wits and numerous kinstones, magical stones with the power to both open up new areas and reveal new characters.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is rated "E" for Everyone and has an SRP of $29.99. For more information, check out our full review.
