Current Events > How would you guys feel about a Minish Cap spinoff on the BotW engine?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Exact engine of BotW. Exact same kind of gameplay. But instead of a huge Hyrule to explore, it's a huge mansion. And you're a Picori. For those who haven't played Minish Cap, the Picori are a race of tiny people about the size of a quarter. Maybe it could be the origin story of Vaati.

Anyway, you're able to explore the entirety of a huge mansion with at least three floors plus a basement, the surrounding grounds of the mansion, and a roof. Weapons could range from toothpicks to tiny doll swords. Magic could be a large part of gameplay, as you could be playing a sorcerer Picori in Vaati. Find paths through pipes, between walls, under floorboards, explore bedrooms, steal small treasures a la Pikmin, have stealth sections where you hide from humans, gain tools for traversal like climbing gear, grappling hooks, parachutes, manipulate the behavior of curious animals and children/babies to move large obstacles for you, fight enemies like rats, bugs, spiders, keese, classic Zelda enemies as bosses a la Minish Cap, household elements could become hazards, i.e. the oven is on and functions as a lava level you need special equipment to traverse, same with the freezer and fridge.

I just really love games where you're small and exploring a large environment like that. Love them.

Watch Secret world of Arrietty if you're having trouble imagining what traversing and exploring the world would be like.

What do you guys think of that idea? Would you play?

yes

Thanks brohams

I feel like it would bring a lot of verticality to the world, something that BotW has, but not in a way that seems as meaningful, I feel.

Bump pls ce

Ehhh if we're going to get a game like that I would rather it be a new IP than Zelda.
---

Why not a Pikmin and Chibi Robo crossover?

Yes, more lazy remakes and ports, please

That would be cool too. I just love being small in a house

That's actually a very cool & original idea, I'd be down for that.

Yeaj. Pretty interesting you fight bugs, rats, and other harmless critters for normL people, but deadly when you are snall
---

Yes. YES. Minish Cap is one of my favourites.
---

Bump again

Zelda's Mansion

That actually sounds awesome as hell

I want anything on this Engine. The BOTW engine is amazing, I would love more Zelda Switch games that use some of the assets from this

I agree, mostly :P

I like it when people post on my topics

I want fully 3D VR versions of Link to the Past and Link's Awakening.

That sounds hard tbh

:(

Dungeons could include the following:

Wasps' Nest
Child's castle playset
Inside of a couch
A rotting stump in the yard
Refrigerator/icebox

Cool idea. Personally I'd like to see Nintendo make a spin-off starring Sheik above anything else honestly. Maybe as a 2D stealth game ala Mark of the Ninja.

...Did you actually read the OP?

Don't mind him, he's one of those people who thinks everything Nintendo makes is a remake or a port, just because it's part of an existing IP.

I like bumping

Never knew I wanted this

It's a good idea but it doesn't feel Zelda

It'd be fine if it wasn't Zelda, imo. But the BotW engine would be a perfect fit, I feel.

Although I would prefer it to be Zelda :P
