I was fully on board with it until I looked at the screenshots. Don't get me wrong, it is gorgeous. But it's an action RPG, something the GBA usually didn't succeed in. I was hoping for something turn based.
Yeah Zelda games were terrible on GBA.
I can't tell if you're being facetious but the only downside to Minish Cap was the Gacha system, where they developed only the bad parts of the Oracle games' Gacha seed system and turned it into a chore that gated 100% completion.
Aside from that, it was a charming addition to the franchise.
I haven't played Four Swords GBA or the Link to the Past port but Four Swords on the GameCube with the GBA cables was a very solid couch co-op game.
Maybe not totally in-line with the spirit of the series but still very good on its own.
I like Minish Cap but my one problem with it is WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I MAKE A HOUSE FOR THE THIRD ORACLE???
I mean, there are clearly a building site for it and dialogue hints for a third house. They obviously shipped the game with an unfinished side quest, I spent hours trying to get it.
It's because they also pulled one other aspect from previous handheld Zelda titles: not being able to get all the photos from Photo Mouse in Link's Awakening DX. Sometimes you just can't have it all.
I was being completely facetious. I played LttP a ton on my GBA
