Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

[A Black Falcon]

Anyway, that's all there is to it, to talk about it. It does take some practice to get it down though.

Ganon killed me two or three times because you couldn't beat him without that stupid "A to knock off his armor" thing. That says something about how often I used it before that... I actually found it easier a lot of the time to circle around them, or hit them with the weapon normally, or something else, than look for that stupid thing to appear and hit that button just at the right time... but you couldn't beat Ganon any other way, and he was actually hard, so I died.

A friend was there when I beat the game, actually, and he agreed that I didn't really understand the system. And that was at the final boss... :)

lazy, Minish Cap is a good game. Really good, but it doesn't measure up to LA... The world is small, and the game is short, even for a Zelda game. Only 6 dungeons, including the last dungeon. At least you get two dungeons of Wind, so they added more than you might think is there from the story. I say it's short and the world is small even relative to other Zelda games, like LA. The saving grace is that the game is a fun ride while it lasts. The puzzles are too easy, though in a few cases I'm pretty sure the puzzle in question might have been hard if this was only my 3rd or so Zelda game instead of what it really was. The game IS loaded with mini-games, more so than in LA or LTTP.

I think you'll enjoy it, but don't expect too much.

Of course it's not as good, it's made by Capcom, like Four Swords, FSA, and Oracles... and while those were all good games, none were as good as the real Zelda games (LttP or newer). Oh, Oracles was great... I really liked those games. Good, long, quite challenging... but it was quite lacking in originality and wasn't quite as good as the real ones. I guess the question is, is Minish Cap better than Oracles? If so it'd be pretty good... FS/FSA are different of course, with their level-based, linear, multiplayer focus.

Anyway, I certainly plan on getting Minish Cap someday.

Oh, that difficulty thing about Minish Cap is too bad... Oracles was pretty challenging, so it's dissapointing to see the next real Zelda game from that time be easy (FS/FSA don't count...).
