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.
Moonlighter is a roguelike with similar gameplay. The art style also borrowed a lot from Minish Cap.
Obviously, it is not a straight-up Zelda game, but I enjoyed it, and you can tell the developer was a fan of Zelda too.
