Zelda : The Minish Cap

[ryodi]

I'm not sure exacltly how long it took. Probably around 15 hours because I didn't rush it but didn't go for everything either. As with all Zelda games I play I always miss one bottle. But those hours were great, I was never bored and unlike some Zelda games the dungeons in this just begged to be explored properly and the use of the R shoulder button so link can roll like in the 3D games is good. I've rate it 8/10. And I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than the latter stages of Wind Waker because it had a consistent pace throughout.

Oh no!!

I just got the final element and went back to infuse my sword. Thought about going into town to finish off some side quests but when that door opened in the back of the temple I was too curious and had to go in. Now the Hyrule Castle has changed and I fear many off the chances to fuse with people have been lost. Is this the case?

That would be HARSH!!

Spag -

->Open Spoiler<-

I don't know about the fusing, but you can leave the castle & continue poking about the land if you want - just head out the front door...

[spagmasterswift]

Nice one Geoff D - again

->Open Spoiler<-

The bit with the stained glass windows was a nice touch (is it Wind Waker that does that too)? Looks like the challenge has been ramped up for the final hunt for Zelda and showdown in the Evil Castle - I'm sooo feeling this game and surprised its not getting more of teh lovage!!

Chattin in spoilers is cool!!

[Geoff D]

No worries dude -

->Open Spoiler<-

you're right about the challenge - there are some tough enemies in the castle... I agree that people don't seem to be loving this game as much as they should as well. 'Tis a shame. I've had my game saved right at the last boss for a while now - haven't quite got the heart to finish him off, because I don't want it to end

[spagmasterswift]

I know that!

->Open Spoiler<-

I have Metroid Prime saved at the final boss (its not that I can't kill the bloody thing :hmmm: ). I'm hoping that once I've given Vaati (or whatever his name is) some serious payback I'll have the freedom of the kingdom to stroll around and enjoy the peace I've brought back to Hyrule.

Minish Cap has made me want a DS Zelda game above all others, except maybe Viewtiful Joe

->Open Spoiler<-

Best bet is to use the remote bombs. Plant one then walk a little bit away which should lure them all onto the bomb then detonate it. The should daze and take damage, when they're dazed give them a whack. That should see you clear without much damage ^_^ The extended spin attack also works well on them!

My Q

->Open Spoiler<-

I've done all the kinstone fusions and completed the game, however, the last girl who needs a house is still.....without a house. Have i missed my chance to get her some digs? And, is there a heart piece in the gambling game? Ta.

Just stand in the corner, wait until they start charging you then use the wings to jump over and land behind them, hammer them with your sword. Repeat by alternating between the two bottom corners of the room and you win easily.

on the knights i read a few bits of some of the guides at gamefaqs and apparently no one knows how to get the last girl a house! the guide might be wrong mind. i haven't got any of them houses

First Q:

->Open Spoiler<-

You can only ever house two out of the three girls, so you haven't missed anything here

Second Q:

->Open Spoiler<-

There is no heart piece in the chest-gambling game

Remote Bombs?

->Open Spoiler<-

Just about to face off against Vaati and remember reading in the 'Swordsman Newsletter' that you can get these at some point. I have not come across them and would like to go into the final battle fully tooled up. Anybody know where they are located?

That's because it's widely believed to be a bug in the game. I should ask someone who's picked up the US version and see if they can do all 3.

Remote Bombs?

->Open Spoiler<-

You have to trade some stones a couple of times with the minish in the bottom-left corner of Minish Woods and maybe one other -- there is a cut scene at one point where he thinks to himself about the remote bomb idea.

I managed to get her into a house, built where what-is-face wants the cats shifting from, iirc. You need to be **** hot in trading the stones though and it takes feckin' ages to do so. According to that gay fairy bloke, I don't have any left to find but I have some left over in the bag
