Nintendo UK Head of Marketing Dawn Paine said: “Gold has always been closely associated with The Legend of Zelda franchise from the original Legend of Zelda NES game on a gold coloured cartridge to the mysterious golden Triforce that Link hunts down on his quests. Now Nintendo has gone one to step further to create what must be the ultimate jewel in any Zelda fan’s crown.”
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is the latest adventure in the long running The Legend of Zelda franchise. Released from the broken power of an ancient mystical sword, Vaati the wind mage is wreaking havoc on the Land of Hyrule. The only way to free the people from Vaati’s evil clutches is to restore the sword and seal the evil mage’s power once more. However, the knowledge to restore the sword is only kept by the tiny Minish people who live in a land invisible to adult eyes. Enter Link, a young boy who takes on the epic journey that will turn him into a hero of legend… By donning the Minish Cap Link can shrink to the size of the Minish who will help him to defeat Vaati and restore peace to Hyrule.
To coincide with the game’s launch, Nintendo has produced a special Legend of Zelda Limited Edition Pak. This Pak includes a Zelda-themed gold coloured Game Boy Advance SP, plus a copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. The stylish new Game Boy Advance SP features a ‘Triforce’ motif on the outside and the emblem of the Hyrulian Royal Family on the inside.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap launches on Game Boy Advance in the UK on 12 November 2004 at the estimated retail price of around £30. The Zelda Limited Edition Pak launches in the UK on 12 November 2004 at the estimated retail price of around £89.
