The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Unofficial PC Port Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-legend-of-zelda-the-minish-cap-unofficial-pc-port-released/
MatheoVignaud has just released an unofficial native PC port for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. As such, PC gamers will be able to enjoy another Zelda game that was exclusive to Nintendo’s consoles.
For those who did not know, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a Zelda game that came out on Game Boy Advance in 2004. It serves as a prequel to Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, telling the origins of the Four Sword and the villain Vaati.
(… Three paragraphs describing the game...)
As with most unofficial PC ports we’ve seen these past couple of years, Nintendo won’t be able to shut it down. TMC does not contain any assets from the game. Therefore, Nintendo won’t be able to send MatheoVignaud or GitHub a DMCA notice.
You can go ahead and download this unofficial PC port of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap from this link. From what I can see, all the ROM files are compatible with it. Therefore, you won’t be limited to one specific version. You can use the US, the EU or the JP ROM.
