The Minish Cap is one of my favorite games of all time and definitely my favorite Zelda game. Everything from the dungeon puzzling, to the story, to the music is perfection, and the synergy between Capcom and Nintendo was like no other.
Do you guys have any reccomendations for similar games? Specifically in relation to the gameplay e.g. 2d puzzle dungeons, adventure fantasy, creative items, etc.
I don't know if you've played Oracle of Ages/Seasons, but those are two more great Capcom Zelda games.
I saw someone else say CrossCode, and I can second that. CrossCode is the only game I have ever played to perfectly capture the way games felt on the Nintendo DS. Control, aesthetic, everything. It made me immediately nostalgic the first time I played it.
