The Legend of Zelda series tends to be more adventurous with it's handheld titles. The Minish Cap focuses on the Picori, who are tiny creatures that can only be seen by children. After the evil sorcerer Vaati sets out attain the Light Force, shatters the Picori blade, and turns Princess Zelda into stone. Off to reforge the blade that was once broken, a talking bird...hat....thing named Ezlo accompanies Link on his quest to save Hyrule, acting as the Minish Cap which allows him to shrink and visit the Picori.

WOW What a coincidence, I just started playing this game yesterday on my phone and so far I have just beaten the turtle dragon in the mountain but I am looking forward to getting some good tips.
That One Video Gamer Tak and the Power of Juju Review
That One Video Gamer i hope Phantom Hourglass and mainly Spirit Tracks cause i loved those games!
Heya, will your give-a-way be valid for people outside the US?
Funny thing this is one of the first game boy advance games I beat. I actually needed the sword skill to do it.
No one ever seems to remember Minish Cap, but everyone I've ever had a conversation with about it has nothing but praise for it. It's so charming and endearing while still being just so Zelda.
I know, it's brilliant!
Right? Nobody talks about this awesome gem.
its my favorite zelda game including btw
botw
Four Swords Adventures was another hidden gem. Those two easily hit my top 5, maybe even top 3.
Don't care what other people say, minnish cap is one of the best zelda games
Totally agree. I just wish it weren't so short.
I think it isn’t the best but really good
This was my first Zelda game. And I love it.
Agree
@@camwyn256 Minish Cap is short? Link himself can be short, but for a GBA game, 12 hours of gameplay is standard
This was the first Zelda game I actually beat. I played the other ones a lot but for whatever reason I didn't beat them back then. But The Minish Cap is honestly my favorite Zelda game I absolutely adore it. The atmosphere is enchanting, the level design is genius, the visuals are vibrant and beautiful, and oh my god the soundtrack is so lovely! The Minish Village theme is my favorite I used to go to the village and just lay my gameboy next to me when I went to sleep because it was so pleasant to listen to. Not gonna lie I popped off so hard when I saw you upload this lol glad this game is getting more of the spotlight!
I too popped of so hard
Same
This was my first Zelda experience. And I managed to beat it. Not 100%, but I did beat it. And oh boy was it fun as all hell.
Minish Cap is my favourite Zelda too and I hope it gets a remake
This was also my first Zelda game since I had to buy games myself as a kid with gift money. I did actually 100% it as well but sadly it disappeared into the abyss. Glad this one got mentioned.
So if Minish Cap takes inspiration from older games does that make it a link to the past?
... you didn't get It.
No, this is MINISH CAP!
i dont think you guys got the joke he was trying to make
Shut up
Lol
Aww Jirard didn't give it his Completionist rating of "Minish It"
Maybe he thought about it, but didn't want to tri and force it.
MaltLiquorMullet True, it definitely would've screwed with the Ganonical lore of the show.
This is disgusting. Stop at once.
I just comment sometimes. no... don't even link about it
THE CRINGE MY EYES MY EYES
Honestly this was one of the most underrated but best tloz games.
Fallen Star Gaming true dat
I played _The Minish Cap_ easily over 20 times. Can say one of my favorate games ever and I like it a lot more than Ocarina of Time.
Same but it's equal to majoras mask for me so i play these together every year and get all those figueres by the end of the year breathe of the wild is so much worse with the korok's that i just give up on it
Figure where a dark part of this game for me. I say I think i spent about 5 hours at that big patch of grass west of the town. And I had some bugged saves where I legit could not find some keystone holders (wasn't fun) but very enjoyable still.
Same. Only game I finished 100%
Its definitely my 1st or 2nd favourite 2d zelda game, but it doesn't hold a handle to the 3d games. The 3d games are just able to do more than the 2d games
I played it twice and feel like replaying it. Adorable game!
I'm so happy that Jirard also thinks that Ezlo should be voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
You mean Nintendo didn't hire him to make the sounds for Ezlo?
So glad someone finally talked about Minish Cap!
Right? No one seems to know this one exists
My first Zelda game too...
Da Doge Gamer 360 AND REVIEWS Nice I'd say this is the best 2D Zelda to start with and is on par with WW and OOT as perfect entry points into Zelda
Demi-Fiend of Time Yea, I remember getting it for Christmas. I was so excited.
Da Doge Gamer 360 AND REVIEWS Ah I remember my first encounter with Zelda, I saw a Gameplay trailer at Best Buy of Majora's Mask thought Goron Link looked cool asked for it for my birthday and Got OOT instead -_- I was denied MM for 6 agozing years but I'm glad it was delayed on me because had that been my introduction I would have hated Zelda considering how hard and scary MM is!
I have waited and dreamed for so long that anyone would do this game justice. It's my favorite Zelda. So underappreciated.
OtakuTiki same
Definitely the most underrated Zelda game in my opinion. It's not as long or massive as Link to the Past, but it's a LOT of fun.
If it’s underrated why can I never find it
Link to the past is too hard for me :)
@@slovenec2086 Ah, come on. Don't be that gamer who can't do anything old school. Link to the Past isn't bad at all. I have faith in you. I play through the game couple times a year, and I haven't died since the 90's.
@@frozenaorta Hello random internet person. Im happy to say i completed link to the past. Now i think im going to commit suicide. It was a pain
@@goldfish1769 You can never find it BECAUSE it's underrated. It never gained enough of a following for it to be distributed as widely as Link to the Past or Link's Awakening.
I remember sneaking my Game Boy Advance SP staying up late doing the Droplets Temple the night before a math test in school but still got enough sleep and aced it, good times back then.
This is my favorite Zelda game.
Also why didn't you talk about the sword masters? They have their own bonus if you learn all the sword techniques.
David Davis oh the tornado style great spin attack?
same
I wonder if he got the light arrows
William Price yeah, I really liked hunting those butterflies down for blessings :D
Jirard really should have mentioned those things :/
He also didn't mention you can only give a house to 2 of the goddesses
Minish Cap was actually the first Legend of Zelda game I ever played. I played it with a walkthrough, because I had an inkling a Legend of Zelda game would be daunting as hell. It's such a fun game, definitely would recommend.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who vividly imagined Ezlo with Gilbert Gottfried’s best Iago voice 😂
If it got the links awakening treatment I feel like it would do pretty well
FINALLY!!! One of my favorites and a total underrated gem. Still love this game to death. Glad to see you do this game justice, Jirard!
This game has great music
What’s the song at 7:45?
hyrule town
Anyone else want a remake?
Layne Warner no
Just a rerelease, nothing that needs to be remade
This game isn’t big enough or impactful enough to be remade or rereleased. If any Zelda game is going to be remade/released it would most likely be spiri.... no I’m not even gonna joke about that.
Daniel Damn i liked spirit tracks a lot actually, except for the mic parts. it would have been cool if you could choose how you wanted the tracks to be built though.
Layne Warner I would really like to see a remake of this game on new Nintendo 3DS
Collecting the kinstones was one of my favorite things about this game 🌟
I don't know why I always read Ezlo's lines in a deeper, more eloquent sounding voice, like Patrick Stewart. But I'd be lying if I said that I don't now think Gilbert Godfried, Bobcat Goldthwait, or maybe even Steve Buschemi would be perfect.
Twelve20two i always imagined gilbert godfried or the guy who voices ralph from ed edd and eddy doing ezlos voice
I always read it in the voice you hear from him everyone once in a while. It's a bird voice.
Though I assume his true form sounds a lot more like you describe--at least, when Link is the same size.
My man Steve the man with a sniper...
Who gets that joke?
FINALLY! i have been looking forward to your completionist episode of this game!
I'm so glad you liked it! It's my favorite hand held zelda by far and I always feel like it gets brushed under the rug. Thank you so much for completing it :)
The minish cap was actually the first zelda game I played and speaking from experience, I 100% agree with using this game as an introduction to the franchise. It has all the charm of a zelda game, with plenty of fun bits and pieces to uncover, making the whole experience quite enjoyable.
Carol May I’m the same, played it at a very young age and actually still have it as well as my game boy advance. A true masterpiece of a game. I don’t think any Zelda game can compare to it, though that’s just my biased opinion as it really set me on my huge Zelda fan craze. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they brought the Minish/Four sword back but in a 3D game... it would be a truly exciting experience, especially when you shrink in size. AAAAHHH I LOVE IT TOO MUCH!! XD
GH ZARK That would be really cool! There's a lot that can still be done in this particular game and how its mechanics work.
Dude Jirard it’s crazy you just completed this game, I just finished it last week actually! Great job Jirard!
I'm playing it right now, halfway through!
isnt it ironic? dont you think?
i just started it yesterday for fun and now i see this video.
I'm doing a LP of it on my youtube channel right now lol
Me too! But I saw the video now.
I love this game, honestly Minish Cap has been my long-time-standing favorite Zelda game. I'm glad to see you cover this!
Thanks for completing my favorite handheld LoZ title :) it was probably due to me playing minis cap right around that special age when I wasn’t absolute garbage on even the most casual of games, but minish cap has always had a special place in my heart
Minish cap is one of my favs!
I ADORE this title, and would absolutely love to see an HD remake/expansion on its take on Hyrule. Legit though, Vaati was such a breath of fresh air. I am sick and tired of Cannonpork being the villain.
Super glad you're drawing attention to this underrated game. My favorite 2d zelda. I'd love a switch remake with touched up graphics and use of extra buttons
I NEED that coffee mug.
I love this game. It's one of my favourites. I like the figurines, not collecting them, but being able to see the names of everything and reading their descriptions.
They really should remake the minish cap
All they need is an extra dungeon and the ability to have more than 2 items in ur bar and then its good.
One of my all-time favorite Zelda games finally recognized! Thank you, Jirard. What a nostalgic adventure this is about to be.
This is one of the only games I've ever completed myself
This was a nostalgic treat to watch. Thank you
It's always great to see this game get some love. It's the first one to inspire me to take on a three heart/minimalist challenge just because I still wanted to get more out of it even after completing it.
WOO! Minish Cap is SUPER awesome, I'm so glad you're putting it on more people's radar this way.
This actually WAS my first Zelda game and I love it so much to this day. It's the Zelda game I compare every other Zelda game I play to. The Fairy Fountain song is my favorite one to this date. Thank you so much for giving it the love it deserves.
I love the designs soooooo much in this game ! Everything is just so... cute and PIXELATED
Played this year's ago, the shrinking aspect was great and it was nice to have such a beatiful game on the go.
Ahh so many good memories with this game. For me it was good enough to hold me over along with Resident Evil 4 while I was waiting for Twilight Princess to come out. =] Granted it’s been years since playing Minish Cap but one day I’d like to revisit it. Great video Jirard and crew!
Thank you, my good sir, for completing one of the first (and my personal favorite) Zelda games I've ever played. This game to me has always held a special place in my heart, but was always seemingly unnoticed across the fan base.
*EDIT: Fixing grammar problems idiot me overlooked.
this is why we need a REMAKE
make it happen nintendo
This is one of my favorite Zelda games of all time, I absolutely adore this game. I've never felt like it needed a remake but to be honest I don't know if I would complain too much if Nintendo gave it the same treatment as they gave the Link's Awakening remake.
But this time use cell shaded graphics like The Wind Waker did, it would fit a lot better since The Minish Cap was clearly going for that art style but in 2D.
All the nerds saying that minish cap is short!!! It's an excellent game with outstanding visual especially for an handheld. On top of that it aging well. Not many N64 titles can say the same
SANDVOX did you mean.... ocarina? It's okay I agree
Anon Kohai there are OOT and MM 3ds remakes
Minish Cap is objectively one of the weakest Zelda games in the main series.
*Me mumbling in the the back* Ocarina of Time’s graphics didn’t age well
*Me starting to yell* A LINK TO THE PAST’S GRAPHICS DID!
So what if it's a bit short. Sometimes less is more, guys.
i love all of these little brett cameos! you guys always make me laugh.
This games means so much to me. I'm so freaking glad you completed this. This game does not get enough praise.👌
2:47 Wow. Link actually looks pretty good with a beard. Who knew? (:
This game is one of my favorites but there is one thing that bugs me, I can't find the last kinstone
Lag Rush Exactly!
Lag Rush
Some Kinstones are only available during the beginning of your quest. If you don't get it by then, you won't get it later on. A perfect example of this would be with The King before he is captured by Vaati.
Fabulous Superstar You're half right. While it's true some Kinstone fusions happen with specific people at specific points in the plot (the fusions with King Daltus and Minister Potho being prime examples), missing those opportunities doesn't mean you can never get all the fusions. The missed ones just move to other characters.
same
Fabulous Superstar thats proably my missing kinstone
@12:00 "Too big to fit, Link? I know your pain my friend"
I love how this could refer to so may different things with a range of ESRB ratings lol... Nuanced humor at it's finest
My first video I seen of you and really enjoyed ur content guess it’s time to binge watch ur whole channel now lmaoo
Minish cap was my first Legend of Zelda game and it opened my eyes to just how fun gaming could be
I guess you could call this game... a link between worlds. * puts on shades *
Relevant Games YYYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
....Nope.
I guess this game is a fresh breath.... a breath of the wild that is
#thuglife
Daniel Staples YYYYYYYYYEAH!!!!!!!!
Minish Cap was my first Zelda and is really special to me. I'm so happy to hear when people like it. It's so underappreciated.
Same here. First game and what a way to start. I love the series so much. And yeah, it's unappreciated.
Yes thank you, I have been waiting for a video like this for a long while!
What a classic example of a sandwich game. Came out between the wake of Oot and twilight princess. that's why it's so barely renembered
Woah Jirard, that is a great idea about Gilbert Gottfried! You should totally do a lets play with Gilbert freestyling as the cap!! Add on Tara Strong for the Minish/cute characters and you will make bank sir!! LETS DO THIS!!
All of your content is awesome always cheers me up the Completionist ROCKS
I'm so happy to see this game get some recognition. This is one of my favorite Zelda games
"What's so special about The Minish Cap?"
For me, the fact that I can't get it on my 3DS. I'm searching for a 3DS with an Ambassador Certificate with a transferable game. Yeah, I know ROMs are a thing, but the fact that I can't get a legitimate copy on the 3DS when I can get every other Zelda game kills me.
Either buy a DS and get the cartridge or buy a WiiU and purchase the game on virtual console. Problem solved.
@@tcrpgfan I know I could do that, but I want the game on the 3DS. Between the 3DS and the Switch, I can play most Legend of Zelda games. It really bugs me that Minish Cap is the only game I can't get on my 3DS.
@@Butterism Naw, you can play every zelda between the 3DS and the WiiU. The switch has no original zelda. While ALL of the 3d zeldas are available on the WiiU, and almost all of the 2d ones as well. the 3DS covers everything else. Remember BOTW isn't switch exclusive, it's on Wii U as well.
@@tcrpgfan Good news! I found an Ambassador 3DS with a transferable game. I am now a proud owner of The Minish Cap on the 3DS.
Anywho, I know the Wii U is a Zelda machine, but I still can't justify the cost of one when I already have a Switch. There's on 4 Zelda games I'm missing at this point: Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, and Four Swords Adventures. I have high hopes that WW and TP will be ported over. I keep hearing promising rumors of a remake of SS. If that happens, that only leaves Four Swords Adventures which I believe isn't on the Wii U anyways.
I know it's a long shot for FSA to be ported, but I'll wait to see what happens with Zelda's 35th Anniversary.
My favorite Zelda! Pretty surprised to see it reviewed by Jirard :)
This is by far my favorite Zelda game. I'm happy someone is giving it the attention it deserves :D
I remember enjoying the shit out of this game back in 2004. This video took me straight down nostalgia lane, nice work man.
7:22 The Legend of Zelda Odyssey
Zero more like Super minish Mario
Zero e
Mr.Death You mean Super Minish Odyssey?
WE NEED A REMAKED FOR The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
No. You just need a GBA.
Or a Wii U
@Starscream91 I'd even settle for a port to the switch, virtual console style
BOTW was my first Zelda game I've ever played and beaten. After that I decided to use my modded psp to play some of the older 2d Zelda games and this was the first one I finished and I loved every single second of it. It will always hold a special place in my heart container
This is one of our favorite Zelda's at 502Gaming. It is so underrated. Nice stuff as always Jirard!
7:23 I need to see Gilbert Gottfried voice Ezlo.
Edit: R.I.P. Gilbert Gottfried
I can't wait to hopefully see Spirit Tracks on this channel, when I was younger I absolutely loved it and would like to see you like that great DS title
Same I’m still waiting for that
Minish cap is hands down my favorite zelda game. It's the first zelda game I ever had and one of the first games I ever completed so It'll always hold a special place in my heart. I was so excited to see this video about it!!
It's actually nice to hear someone mention that the game is short. People seem to omit this in reviews I've seen lately.
Started replaying this game 2 days ago and then sees this in my notification. The irony xD. Also I feel the exact same way. This is my 4th run through this game and I personally absolutely adore it, but it's a fantastic game that no one talks about.
The Minish cap is my favorite Zelda game of all time followed by Majoras mask and a link to the past. It’s so sad this game gets so overlooked.
It's nice to finally see my first Zelda game get completed by you!
I loved the Minsh Cap when it came out. Finally, someone's talking about it! I feel like it's always forgotten when people talk about Zelda games.
I absolutely loved this game it was honestly near perfect for me
OMG you can do no wrong Jirard!
Wrong.
Besides not finding zoras attractive
Ryuseii, I am with you 100%
Jirard did do wrong.
He literally gave twitch subscribers over double contest entries.
Everything else: 9 Entries
Sub bonus: 10 Entries.
If you're paying for his twitch, you get double the chance to win.
That's fair honestly, they did pay after all.
This game was my childhood, thank you for this! :D
The first ever Zelda games I’ve ever played and I still think to this day it was one of the best of its time, this game set the standard for Zelda games for me and the many more Zelda games I’ll be playing til today, truly amazing
Ah, my favorite 2D Zelda game.
Fight me haters
Right there with you bro.
Thirding this statement. Love the Four Swords on the GBA as well, their style is perfect for the system they were built for!
Hylian Phoneguy it's in my top 5 and personally I like it more than Breath of the wild
My favorite Zelda game is The Trout of Eating Electric Sweaters
I doubt anyone is going to “fight” you. The game is critically acclaimed and was well received by fans. I like the phantom hourglass. Fight me haters?
The GOD!
DAMNED!
TROPHIES!!
This was the first video game I ever played. Got a GBA-SP and Minish Cap for Christmas and fell in love with it. Completed it as well
There's one specific pot up in the mountains that always gives a red rupee right next to a door. I collected all the figurines by grinding that pot til my rupees were maxed out, then buying shells, then repeating.
I keep hearing that this is a great Zelda, one of the best some say. I'm finally thinking about playing it, maybe mod the SNES Classic to play.
finish cap was on the gameboy advanced not a SNES
just wanted you to know about that before modding your SNES classic
@@PatriciasWorldPW You can mod a SNES classic to play gameboy advance games with RetroArch I think
Or you can go on etsy like i did and buy minish cap for 14.99 lmaoo
Starscream91 etsy is an app for handmade things lol. The only reason i used it was to get minish cap bc i couldnt find it anywhere. Look for a reliable seller on the etsy app. They usually have good classic games but believe theyre not technically official. But that being said it was still the full game of minish cap i just wanted to own it :)
I predict Episode 250 will be Yakuza 0.
JUST DO YAKUZA 0 ALREADY
Mysterious Jojo oh hey. Another homestuck. Cool and new.
Aren't Yakuza games absolute hell to 100%?
Kenpokid4 If Jirard can complete BOTW he can absolutely do a Yakuza game.
So was Skyrim, but that didn't stop him doing it and won't stop him doing it again for New Game+.
Mysterious Jojo been wondering when he would do one for a Yakuza game for like a year
Jirard. Your show is awesome. Keep up the kick ass episodes.
Why didn't you talk about the sword masters scrolls? That's an extra you don't need to progress but it'd part of completion. I demand a redux!!!
RuneKing324 how do you tag jirard so he sees this? Did he skip the training techniques? He must have!
And the dojo books!!
RuneKing324 maybe he did? i do find it weird that he would'nt mentiin them though.
Msh bawlz
Let's just hope this game gets the links awkening treatment.
Tbh it's quite beautiful as is
Ah, nostalgia! Thanks the the review :)
I loved The Minish Cap. Played it over and over again back in the day. One of my faves.
I’ve never related to someone so hard when he started praising the KFC Famous Bowl
I am the only person in existence who holds this opinion and I am the only person crazy enough to think that Minish Cap is the best Zelda
I love it too
It's one of my personal favs
hunter kern I'm with you in this, my absolute favorite
hunter kern nah bro it's my fav too
This and both Oracle games are my top 3. They're just amazing all around.
One of my forever favs 💕 many many hours spent exploring
Jirard. I don’t say this to many CZcamsrs. You are one of my favourite CZcamsrs. You are amazing, I rarely see many gamers completing games
My favourite LoZ game.
How can you dislike the Zora women? C'mon, they are the best of the bunch ;P
+Lugmillord Like honestly why are the gerudos considered the most attractive.
i mean, they don't even have genitalia but ok
thank you!
Fish lady waifus for laifu
+Kyler Lol first of all it's a joke and doesn't it have to be furry to deem someone as a furry?
Excellent review! Love this game and have always felt it deserved more acclaim
This video is old but im glad I watched it. You're hilarious my guy
Oh yes! My 5th favourite Zelda game! Can you do my third favourite; Wind Waker?
He still hasn't done that yet?
Do not subscribe to this channel m8! I don't blame him for not doing it. The Triforce quest is the definition of pain
It depends which version. HD's isn't that bad
hell id be impressed if some completes spirt tracks
+gamers in a container
It's much easier in the HD version.
