RGT Nostalgia Society #13 - The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

[TheOneEV]

I must have not been paying attention, I just use the poke test >_<

It does, but I don't think that is explained though which I found odd... But I might have missed something or wasn't paying attention again >_< Also, you can't poke with your sword until you get the spin attack which requires a separate item (lol, idk why) which is weird for me because I wanted to already start poking at every wall out of habit >_<

Anyway, back to the mines...

Why would they make a mine cart so violently fast O_o

I love his lil Link face here!

 

[dkpopman]

thankfully you can get lots of bottles and fairy spam after this dungeon. Anyhow speaking dungeons boy is the third one pedestrian i overall prefer it over the second one but man why is the area before it eat it's lunch stealing a lot of the cool unique ideas this one needed (had better and more fitting music to). the dungeon item is even more lame than the last one the boss is cool for two seconds until it becomes a tedious RNG fest.

 

[Picketinny_Railgun]

Making good progress through the third dungeon. I finally got there, despite the nonsense. I've noticed that a lot of this game's items are shared with Skyward Sword, which is my favorite Zelda game (despite the linearity comments I made earlier).
I like the Temple of Wind a lot better than the previous dungeons. It feels more like an actual dungeon with various paths to go and I like the mitts. Haven't finished it because I got interrupted by some friends but I'm excited to find the last key and get to the boss.

Because it will let me go to Lake Hylia like I've been wanting to from the start.

 

[Appiplyer]

'>' damn the sky temple are such a tedious dungeon

I just finished the first half of the dungeon

Anyway just wanted to ask but what did you guys fill your bottle with?

I have read somewhere that it was from people complaining how slow the minecarts were in the Oracle games, as simple as it.

 

[Appiplyer]

I've beaten Minish Cap but god damn Vaati's final form were confusing to beat i died once cuz i don't know how to damage that boss.

Also this is personal opinion but Vaati's first form are harder than any of it's form cuz the fact i fought several foes on the way there. And i need to do it fast before the bell rang 3 times so i kinda played it recklessly.

Look at you, absolutely smoking the game. Congratulations. I suppose that sort of thing happens a lot, where the first form of a boss feels, or is just worse than their later forms.
(also, you're over there smoking the game and I only just got the duplicate ability recently, that's actually a pretty weird but nice touch. It feels like this might be up there as my favorite Zelda game, probably only tied with Ocarina of Time...not that I've played many of the zelda games past the N64 or anything...)

So uh, outsiide of fairies and water, what else can you even put in the bottles?

Eh i just got a bunch of free time, and i believe there's somone else from RGTNS who already beaten the games.

As for the bottle you can fill it with milk, charm, grandma special potion (except the charm all of those will cost a fortune)

Or i dunno i'm also a newbie in this game lol.

Anyway i also wanted to thanks whoever that mentioned poking the wall to check if it was breakable or not '>'

I've got through the second dungeon, but now I'm dragging my feet on getting to Syrup's Hut.

I got stuck on the mountain for a while and eventually googled it, only to discover that there seems to be a signpost missing in my 3DS VC release of the game and I dunno why -.-

Without the clue I was spinning my gears for a while, but I managed to get there in the end.

Wait you got a piece of heart from the chicken lady?

Just a simple question how much chicken do i need to catch in order to get that '>'

 

[DanCalibur]

Alright, Breath of Fire 2 is done. I can start Minish Cap tonight

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

Last of the 4 elements has been acquired

Had a few setbacks with this game the last few days. Emulator was giving me some trouble and crashing at random, including one time during the boss fight of the Ice Temple, which resulted in me losing over an hour of progress as I hadn't saved since starting the book retrieval thing you have to do before you can get to the temple, which was VERY fun for me . I did end up coming back stronger than before though, so it wasn't too bad, and I'm pretty sure I've sorted out my emulator troubles, so it should be smooth sailing for the rest of the run.

 

[Appiplyer]

One experience that i really like while playing Minish Cap was the shield was useless, i only used it in my first hour playing the game (up till the 2nd dungeon i believe).

And another thing is the spinning attack was far inferior than just spamming the sword.

You get a a heart piece after the 10th time you help her with the cuccos.

1st: 2 cuccos in 25 seg
2nd: 3 cuccos in 25 seg
3rd: 5 cuccos in 30 seg
4th: 7 cuccos in 45 seg
5th: 6 cuccos in 50 seg
6th: 6 cuccos in 45 seg
7th: 7 cuccos in 50 seg
8th: 8 cuccos in 60 seg
9th: 2 cuccoss in 55 seg
10th: 3 cuccos in 55 seg

You can do this anytime but the cuccos will spawn farther and farther away. Pegasus Boots is optional (I did without ever using them) but for the last one, the Flippers are basically required since you will need to swim across the stream on the left side of the map to reach

Might be starting soon
