The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - Definitive Edition

Description

Quick Item Swap, Difficulty Options, Rebalance and more QUICK SWAP ITEMS “Item-Wheel” style selection with L/R + D-pad and other buttons: L: Boomerang, Gust Jar, Pegasus Boots, Cane of Pacci, Sword, Shield. R: Roc’s Cape, Lantern, Mole Mitts, Bow, Bombs, Ocarina. L+R toggles whether it equips to A or B. START while Quick Swap is open → Map; SELECT while Quick Swap is open → control help. Equipping items via the inventory still works if you don’t want to use the Quick Swap feature. DIFFICULTY OPTIONS • Normal / Hard / Hero difficulty selection added to the Options screen. • Hard: 2× incoming damage, reduced sword damage (-1) • Hero: 3× incoming damage, further reduced sword damage (-2), no normal heart drops. Game Over returns you with full health, to make new heart containers useful. • Both Hard and Hero difficulties keep the damage for other items, encouraging the player to try other strategies besides only using the sword. • Difficulty can be changed at any time in the file selection screen. LARGER WALLETS • Wallet capacities increased to 1000 / 3000 / 5000 / 9999, with a proper 4-digit rupee HUD. SHELLS AND FIGURINES RE-BALANCE • Shell capacity increased to 9999; • Normal shell pickups are worth 5×, and the Hyrule Town shop sells 300 shells instead of 30. • Figurine RNG rolls three times and keeps the lowest result, greatly improving new-figurine odds, but still having a chance of missing from time to time, keeping the original spirit of the mini-game alive. • Figurine machine egg drop and cracking animations are essentially instantaneous. OTHER QOL FEATURES • Can use B to quit the pause/map screen. • Low-health warning beep removed. • Added a “RESET” button on the pause screen to easily save and return to the title screen. • Din, Nayru and Farore charms last 5 minutes instead of 1. • All fairies heal 12 hearts, including bottled, auto-revive and world-touch fairies. • Improved heart HUD graphics/contrast, making it easier to see your current health. • Full support for both USA and European versions.
