Virtual Console on Wii U
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap – The
Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap plays a pivotal part in the Four
Swords storyline of The Legend of Zelda series, and is the
first and only game in which Link explores the land of the Minish – a
tiny, mysterious kingdom on the surface of Hyrule. That makes this
unique entry in The Legend of Zelda series a must-play for
new and old fans alike. Inventive items like the Mole Mitts and Gust
Jar give Link powers he’ll need to use wisely if he wants to save the
puzzling world of Hyrule and the miniature land of the Minish. When
there’s a princess to save, a bad guy to beat and you’re THIS small,
the stakes could not be higher.
