I’m So Doing This

I love Zelda games.  They represent what’s best about video games, and even though not always perfect I think it’s fair to say there’s no such thing as a bad Zelda game.  My favorite is an unusual pick, but I stand by it with resolution.  ”The Minish Cap”, to me, is everything that’s great about classic Zelda, packaged in a short and sweet adventure.  I dig playing it on a GBA Micro:  ”tiny Link on a tiny screen!”

I also love Nintendo’s Flipnote, the tiny animation program free to DSi and 3DS owners. As part of this year’s 25th Anniversary of Zelda celebration, Nintendo is putting forth a Flipnote challenge to feature “The Legend of Zelda” in a special 20 second Flipnote animation.  They’re even letting folks submit hand drawn versions if they want (that’s 240 frames, though).

And I’m so there…  bringing the Minish Cap with me!

Hey, BTW.  I recently revisited the very first Zelda.  The NES version.  Man, that’s a hard game.  I forgot how challenging (and how great!) those old games were.
