Today I started off, got my sword and was tasked with saving the princess a story most Zelda fans will have heard before. I enjoy minish cap every time I play it I find the game play to be quite fun and quirky. The over world map is very reminiscent of Mario and Luigi games for the DS and advance. This game has very similar mechanics to other hand held Zelda's which allow you to choose which 2 items you use meaning at some times you don't even have to have your sword equipped. The story feels very familiar with but with ganon missing you feel a little less motivated.
Anyway the game prompts you to head for the minish woods in order to find the little guys so you can repair the picori sword and save the princess. When you get there you meet up with your Navi equivalent ( which has been a staple of Zelda since OOT) Ezlo, who turns out to be a green hat shaped fellow who then resides on your head for the remainder of the game. After saving ezlo you are shown how to enter the picori world and learn of the task ahead from the minish elder. In order to reforge the picori blade you must find the four elements (Wind Water Earth and Fire), lucky the picori decided to settle right in from of the resting place of the earth element in the Deepwood Shrine. If you are reading this i assume you have a working knowledge of how Zelda dungeons are structured (master key, small keys equipment item etc) so i won't ever talk about the setup of the dungeon unless something is different. The first dungeon is quite simple as expected you attain the Gust Jar (which is quite a cool item I quite like it) it has the ability to suck and blow, yet both make it useful. afterward the big key can be found and the boss vanquished. In this case it is a little strange the boss is in fact a lowly green slime enemy that takes 1 sword slash at normal size but because this dungeon is done at the minish size this enemy becomes a bit more of a chore. Afterward we are rewarded with the Earth Element and a Heart Container giving us 4 hearts atm.
After the dungeon we go back to learn of the next element fire and its resting place in Mt. Crenel.While on the way out of the minish woods we find a minish who gives us the Bomb Bag, Afterwards we set off for Mt.Crenel learning the o so important spin attack along the way and using our newly found kin stone system we open a passage to a Heart Piece and gain another heart slot (5). Mt. Crenel is the mountainous region of hyrule of course but curiously it does not share it's name with most others in the series, generally the standard name is death mountain as seen in OOT and ALTTP. After learning about an item we need to climb we find and purchase our First Bottle and begin the journey upwards. This area has quite alot of walls that can be opened with the bombs we found earlier in the minish woods, some are quite obvious as they are drawn to look breakable the other are equally as obvious due to the surroundings. After a short while you find another vendor deku who after a beating sells you the Grip Ring for 40 rupees. Till next time
