Zelda : The Minish Cap (GBA)

[Kaladron]

I don't mind the boxart, it's fairly eyecatching for a UK game. The manual though is a travesty. Black and white manuals should stay a thing of the past.

You know that GBA SP Minish Cap bundle(with the Gold GBA SP, triforce symbol and all) is that available in shops? or is it only available on line?

I went into my local GAME(Huddersfield, Kingsgate centre) yesterday and asked if they would be doing it because I'm thinking of trading in my bog standard GBA in a part exachange deal. Anyway when I asked the guy he said it's a limited edition and you can only get if you get a gold ticket. I was thinking wtf!? is this charlie and the chocolate factory? He then goes on to say that if you buy "that" Zelda game, if you are lucky and you get a golden ticket you will be able to send it off for the golden GBA SP and there's no other way to get it. I have no idea which Zelda game he was on about but I assumed it was the Minish Cap.

Can anyone who works in a retail store clear this up for me? What the hell was that guy talking about?

M8, I feel for you, Huddersfield GAME is my local GAME too, and it's the ****test GAME in the UK hands down, incompetent staff, never has decent stock, prices are a joke, they don't even know about half the offers (when they did the Mario Kart DD bundle with free star wars games they didn't believe me even when I had the newspaper advert out in front of them!!!) Thankfully I'm studying at coventry where there are 2 pretty decent GAME stores as well as a few others. Huddersfield really did get the bottom of the barrel when it comes to game shops, theres a guy called Vinnie runs a market stall on saturdays (an some tuesdays) in the open market, if your after anything pre current gen, he's great to go to often gets current bargains in too tho, sold me the GBA Zelda 1 classics for ?8 sealed and if you ask him nicely he can usually get hold of pretty much anything ur after, sorted me with a mint Goemon 64 for ?10 .

I can't wait to get me grubby mitts on zelda, might trade San Andreas in for it as I'm a complete Zelda whore, them graphics just look sublime. If the musics half as good as Link to the Past I'm in heaven

Check Eurogamers.net. Supposedly there is a limited edition gold plated version of the SP (gold PLATED not COLOURED) for the person who finds the lucky golden ticket inside their Zelda Minish Cap SP pack. So he isnt full of **** MartTM :P (i'd of thought you'd of known better tbh)

I like the boxart. It is certainly more distictive than the bland covers for both Link to the Past and Wind Waker in this country. The manual is a disgrace, I agree with you on that. Compared to the colourful manual that came with my US copy of Oracle of Seasons it is a bit rubbish.

Yeah, my uncle works at the market just next to vinnie. I was about to go halves on a psTwo he had for sale there but decided against it. Too right about Huddersfield, man. Luckily for me I am studying at Manchester. FFS even the HMV in the piccadilly train station has these GBA bundles going, when I last checked I saw about 5 boxes on the shelves.

I checked inside my bundle box but I don't think I got the golden ticket. All I saw was this gold leaflet which had the nintendo stars catalogue value on it, about 750 stars I think.

So... finished dungeon 2 last night, long time Zelda player so none of the puzzles was that tricky, but the inginuity of it all is certainly very good

So... sanctuary in the court yard. Where and how? I presume I have to get passed some of the guards, but can't figure out how yet. Hints?

I love the way that the items are new and a bit more innovative in this game.

Instead of just trundling out the same bits of kit like the Ocarina or Hookshot, they've taken the time to design some new ones and new puzzles / challenges to go with it.

Thats not to say that the old favourites aren't a welcome addition too. It wouldn't be any kind of Zelda game without them

Second floor of the castle, there's a doorway in the south corridor.I couldn't find it for ages and just stumbled across it this minute.

Cheers... had a damn good look around and in the damn castle and couldn't spot where to go!
