Link returns in an all-new Game Boy Advance adventure! As he searches an unfamiliar land for fragmented relics called Kinstones, Link will have to take a closer look at the ground beneath his feet. Using the power of a mystical hat called The Minish Cap, the Hylian hero will shrink down for a massive quest ... on a microscopic scale!

  • Fuse the Kinstone pieces! The magical relics called Kinstones have been cracked into fragments and spread across the world, and by fusing them together can you solve puzzles and unlock secrets. Talk to everyone you meet, or link with friends and fuse Kinstones with them!

  • Small Link ... huge adventure! Link will have his work cut out for him as he fights evil in his own land then shrinks to help the Minish people, a miniature race in dire need of a hero.

  • Draw your sword! As you wander a vast overworld, slash your way through hordes of enemies, explore puzzling dungeons and use new items like a suction device that can fire out what it absorbs!

    • Game Storyline: When Link discovers a magical hat called The Minish Cap, he gains the power to shrink down to the size of the Minish people, who are in grave danger. As he travels back and forth between their world and his, he'll solve puzzles, fight through dungeons and slowly uncover the evil behind their plight and vanquish it.

    Characters: Link, the Minish people.

    How to progress through the game: Explore the world, find new items that help you progress and fuse Kinstones with townsfolk to get hints. In the dungeons, you'll have to fight enemies and solve puzzles as you hunt each dungeon's massive boss.

    Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Link has his trusty sword and shield, and the Minish Cap will help him shrink down to micro-size. He'll also find a wealth of items to aid him on his quest, including the boomerang, bow and others that have never been seen before.

    Hunny, I shrunk the Link! This game sounds like a whole lot of fun to be had in your hands, and will be an exciting unique adventure to join the Zelda series.
