Zelda Universe-25 Years in 25 Days: 2005

In 2005, fans were eagerly awaiting the release of Twilight Princess. At E3 the same year fans were given the opportunity to play the demo of the GameCube version. They also got to see a new trailer that showed Midna and Wolf Link of the first time. Twilight Princess would unfortunately get delayed for another year, but luckily for Australia and North America, The Minish Cap had finally been released and fans of these regions would finally get the chance to play. Yesterday’s article focused on how The Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventures completed the Four Sword trilogy. Today’s installment of Zelda Universe’s 25 Years in 25 Days again looks at The Minish Cap but in the form of a personal story of how author, Joshua, changed his views on the game from negative to positive. Read the full article at Zelda Universe and make sure to leave your comments.

Not so long ago, I had nothing good to say about The Minish Cap. The reason was simple: ignorance. I remember playing The Minish Cap when it was released in 2005. I even remember killing Vaati repeatedly because I enjoyed the fight so much. But then, I quit playing the game and could not bring myself to play it again for six years.

There were a few times where I thought to myself, “I really need to play through The Minish Cap again,” but each time I barely got started before I was bored (usually not even making it to the first dungeon). My conclusion was that The Minish Cap was not a very good game to begin with.

As time when on, I began to consider The Minish Cap among the worst Legend of Zelda games (though honestly, being the worst Legend of Zelda game still makes the game better than most other video games).

My views on the game were changed completely due to an article I wrote this past summer. After an extended hiatus from the Zelda community, I decided to begin writing again this past spring. Instead of a Legend of Zelda website, I decided to begin a blog and just write about video games (though it wasn’t long before I felt the urge to write about Zelda!).

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews on this game. Either people really love it and think it’s one of the best games ever, or people think it is really boring. What do you guys think? Do you guys like The Minish Cap? Is it a great game or is it boring? Were you upset that Twilight Princess got delayed for a year? Tell us in the comments!
