LINK SHRINKS HIMSELF INTO A
GOLDEN ADVENTURE
1st September 2004. Link returns to
the Game Boy Advance when The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap launches across
Europe on 12th November 2004. Join Link in this brand new adventure as he sets
out to reforge a legendary sword and bring peace back to the land of Hyrule.
Released from the broken power of an
ancient mystical sword, Vaati the wind mage is wreaking havoc on the Land of
Hyrule. The only way to free the people from Vaati’s evil clutches is to restore
the sword and seal the evil mage’s power once more. However, the knowledge to
restore the sword is only kept by the tiny Minish people who live in a land
unseeable by adult eyes. Enter Link, a young boy who takes on the epic journey
that will turn him into a hero of legend…
On his adventure Link comes across
an extraordinary hat called the "Minish Cap". The Minish Cap has amazing powers:
it can shrink Link down to minute size and even speak, offering Link invaluable
advice. Using the powers of the ever-helpful and friendly Minish Cap, Link can
explore two very different worlds: his own native land, and the tiny land of the
Minish people. By changing his size between big and small, Link can solve
brain-teasing puzzles and negotiate previously inaccessible areas.
Players can look forward to finding
and using many new items, such as a suction device used to bring faraway objects
close by, and kinstones. Kinstones collected in the game can be fused with other
kinstones in order to make unexpected events occur and mysterious items appear.
With a huge overland world complete
with beautiful locations and unforgettable characters, as well as challenging,
enemy-filled dungeons to explore, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap will keep
players of all ages glued to their GBA screen for many enjoyable hours.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
launches on Game Boy Advance across Europe on 12th November 2004 at the
estimated retail price of around 40 Euros.
