    este jogo pode não ser um dos melhores da franquia, porem não fica atrás pois é um excelente game mesmo que tenha sido desenvolvido pela capcom e não pelo miyamoto. Cada templo nesse jogo e muito bem trabalhado e ideal para que não tome muito tempo do jogador e nem pouco tempo, o jogo pode ter uma curta duração mas cada minuto vale muito a pena.

    One of the very best of the series. The game is very impressive in its simplicity, as it seems to have understood the core of the Zelda franchise before its time. Aging very well, the game offers beautiful and diverse environnements, with an increasing but never too tough difficulty curve.

    Surely one of the easier games in the series, but that makes it probably the best entry point together with Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. The charming world and innovative mechanics truly set this game apart from its predecessors on Game Boy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game love the boss and how we need to use most of the tools to beat it and how every boss was fresh.

    Better than most of the console Zelda Games, including Majoras Mask. I liked the dungeons, the story, and the gameplay. Next to A Link Between Worlds, this one is by far one of the best handheld Zelda games.

    A solid game in the Zelda library and must play for Zelda fans. Minish Cap is full of puzzles, Secrets to find and mysterious shells to find. All the dungeons are different, fun to play and have different items needed to complete them. The boss battle at the end is a high point for me well designed like the rest of the game.

    The game may be short by the franchise's standards, but every minute of it is breathtaking.

    Thankfully, longevity hasn't been sacrificed for the sake of beauty: the main quest alone will take the average gamer a minimum of fifteen hours and that's without spending a single moment delving into the fabulous subquests, which will double, even triple that time...A stunning and wondrous game.

    Outside of a slightly boring midgame stretch in which you're tracking down overdue library books (no, really) and an overly tough final boss, this is a flawless portable adventure. [Feb 2005, p.91]
