A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So I finally started it.

It's a fine game.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm old. I'm patient.

Please, please don't mention spoilers if possible. I love to crack nuts the old fashioned way. 🙂

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap[b] is an action-adventure game and the twelfth entry in The Legend of Zelda series.

Twelveth. Man.

I think that the last game in the series I played was the fourth game, Link's Awakening, from 1993, 11 years before that.

I've played most of them, and minish cap is definitely the best imo. The music, story, world, and nostalgia were all there for me. I also think LOZ was at its peak in the 2D era.

Also special mention, crossbow heroes for wii is C tier and LOZ CD-i is definitely A tier because Morshu
