Game Review: ゼルダの伝説：ふしぎのぼうし

This is the game with the hat.
There's a Capcom logo that comes up every time I loaded up Minish Cap, but without that, there would have been nothing to tell me that this wasn't developed internally by Nintendo. The internet tells me that it's the same Capcom team who handled both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, so they had practice at squeezing Legend of Zelda down into a portable format. And that practice paid off, because they shaved off much of the weirdness and clunkiness from their earlier attempts and made a great Zelda game that's simple enough to not overstay its welcome but has plenty to do for people who want it. I mostly did not want it, and that's okay! I enjoyed what parts of the game I played a lot.
The Japanese title is straight and to the point: fushigi no bōshi, "the mysterious hat."
Yep, he's the hero alright.
