The good parts of this game is the gameplay, like I have said many times before, the gameplay is very well done, you have the sword play where you can kill enemies do all kinds of attacks, slay the bosses, you have the exploring and just like all other zelda games, this game has an excellent area to explore and many different kinds of areas like water areas, mountainous areas, grasslands, forests/woods, and many more. There are a handful of dungeons to explore, there are a total of 6 and they are all very well designed and with many puzzles to keep you thinking and playing. The boss fights are very immersive, most of them are pretty easy to beat, but there are bosses that can make it really tough to beat or they take a long time to beat. There is a main new concept into this game and that is minish, these kinds of "people" make their homes in very small area where a normal sized human wont be able to find them, with the minish cap on your head, you can find these portal-like things and what happens is you turn really small, you do this to find new items, find heart-pieces, sometimes, it helps you with the adventure and there are many more things that the minish can do. This game can put you into some bad situations for example in the first dungeon, you have to fight a normal sized chuchu ok not bad, but when you are small, the first dungeon you enter tiny and the boss is a normal-sized chuchu, that mainly is saying you are fighting a giant chuchu.
The bad parts of this game is the switching in and out between small and big, yea the new "changing from small to big" is nice and such, but sometimes you are put in situations where you keep switching in and out and every now and then it can get really annoying. Some dungeons are really tough, if it is your first time playing, you may have a really hard time trying to figure out what to do, sometimes you may be looking for something and you cant find it cause you are stuck really bad, but that is for only beginners.
Overall, another very nice game on the Game Boy Advance and even though it is the same Zelda formula, it still works out just as good as the predecessor Zelda games.
