The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Also known as: Zelda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Bōshi | Zelda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Boushi
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a top-down action adventure game that tells the origins of the evil Vaati from Four Swords. Like most other titles in the series, The Minish Cap features the fully explorable land of Hyrule, although it can be viewed from the eyes of a human or the eyes of a Minish, a race of tiny people and an alternate form that Link can transform into. Unlike the multiplayer focus of the other games in the series, The Minish Cap retains the original form of exploration and dungeons as seen in A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages, as well as returning characters and game mechanics such as Malon and the Spin Attack. New features include fusing Kinstones and shrinking to the size of a Minish.

Description
About This Game
Don the Minish Cap to shrink Link™ down for his most massively
microscopic adventure ever! Mere blades of grass will tower over your
head as you explore Hyrule, conquering enemies, puzzles, dungeons and
bosses as you go. Along the way, you’ll wield powerful items, fuse magic
Kinstones and befriend the elusive Minish to stop the evil sorcerer
Vaati.
The Minish Cap plays a pivotal part in the Four Swords storyline of the
Legend of Zelda™ series, and is the first and only game in which Link
explores the land of the Minish—a tiny, mysterious kingdom on the very
surface of Hyrule. That makes this unique entry in the Zelda series a
must-play for new and old fans alike. Inventive items like the Mole
Mitts and Gust Jar give Link powers he’ll need to use wisely if he wants
to save the puzzling world of Hyrule and the miniature land of the
Minish. When there’s a princess to save, a bad guy to beat, and you’re
THIS small, the stakes will never be higher.
