So ... I dunno, I was just struck by a sudden urge to go play a Zelda goddamn it, so that's what I did. And instead of picking any of the big popular ones that I haven't played, or the major re-releases peppering the market, I went off and grabbed Minish Cap which is a third-rate game stuffed in the back of the timeline which nobody really acknowledges or cares much about as far as I know.
There's not even a Triforce!
There's not even a Ganon!
Or a Dorf!
Thus is the way we do things around these parts.
Anyway I had a great time. The Minish are adorable, what little we see of them. Their official art is MORE adorable and I'm PRETTY SURE they contributed directly to SOMEbody's adorable furry microphile fetish, which is also the kind of insight you get 'round these parts. The puzzles are good and I only missed a major gameplay mechanic for a few days worth of time, which is solid work for me.
It's a Zelda, man. There's a certain quality floor and it's still above "good".
Anyway, solid game.
